PowerSync ULTRA
Premium power cord PowerSync ULTRA is the best, copper, power cord, we have ever produced. This new cable construction has been completely redesigned.
Conductors are made from 99,997% pure copper (OFHC C10100, 5N), additionally subdued to an annealing process, which allows them to gain uniform structure and better conductance.
The design is a 8x 1.5 mm2 lead, where each lead consist of 7 strands, spun in a tight pitch. Twisted conductors ensure significant cable inductance reduction, maintaining favourable quite high self-capacitance.The wires of the cable are protected by a static shield, made from laminated aluminum foil. The tight construction of the shield covers 100% of the surface of the cable, perfectly protecting against all kinds of external interference, and EMI and RFI noises. In addition the shield prevents the appearance and spread of internal interferences as well as returns parasitic currents to the ground wire. In the construction of the cable a lot of attention was devoted to the reduction of the vibration created by the electromagnetic field induced around the conductors.
All wires and the shield are covered with elastic material damping the unwanted vibration. The cable is additionally protected from the outside with antistatic braid, which prevents static charges accumulation.
The PowerSync ULTRA uses the highest quality, company mains plugs. Their massive construction ensures extraordinary durability and reliability. Casing of the plugs is made of compact aluminium. Their solid connectors are made of rhodium plated brass , which guarantees low impedance and larger amount of connecting cycles with no parameters loss . Connectors were additionally subject to cryogenic treatment and de-magnetisation. All conductors are connected with no use of tin, and plug connections are bolted which minimises plug impedance and guarantees reliability.
PowerSync ULTRA is designed for advanced audio systems. It can successfully power the strip or conditioner to which the whole system is connected. Due to its large cross-section it is particularly recommended for applications related to high power consumption.
Hi-Fi Advice review summary:
Since the PowerSync PLUS worked so well with the L1 preamp I chose to leave it connected and only swap the PowerSync PLUS on the C1 DAC for the PowerSync ULTRA.
Wow, here was a difference that I did not see coming! The PowerSync ULTRA may cost 3 times as much as the PLUS but if you ask me that is fully justified! This cable is not just incrementally better, it’s significantly better!
Outwardly, the cable has beautiful machined aluminium connectors and the cable has a slightly thicker outer diameter (17mm instead of 15mm). Otherwise, there’s nothing to distinguish it from the PowerSync PLUS. Of course, connectors are important to get right but this can’t be the whole story. On the other hand, it can’t just be the application of more copper for the conductors. So, clearly, the cable’s design ups the performance in a major way.
The ULTRA retains all of the PLUS’s beautifully fluid and deeply saturated sound, all of the spaciousness, and every last percent of its organic presentation while significantly increasing the articulation, resolution, refinement, and transient attack, but without introducing even a hint of dryness. Perhaps most strikingly, the PowerSync ULTRA creates a fabulously continuously fluid sound, yet is more expressive, more lively, and more lyrical, than the PowerSync PLUS. All this translates to a sound that is super-seductive, yet also rather realistic, and more like the real thing. Oh yes, went my internal note-taker, this, I like!
