AudioQuest NRG-Y2 Mains Power Cable

 

Following on from the success of the Storm Series NRG power cables (Thunder, Tornado, Hurricane & Dragon), AudioQuest have utilised trickle down techniques to create a new series of affordable, entry level NRG power cables. Featuring the excellent Noise-Dissipation technology employed in the Storm Series, this new range of NRG-Y and NRG-Z cables outperform their old NRG-X and NRG-1/1.5/2 counterparts by a landslide. The NRG-Y2 replaces the NRG-X2 & NRG-1 however it outperforms even the NRG-1.5.

Ideal for media streamers, Blu-ray players, cable boxes, and more, NRG-Y2 cables use direction-controlled Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors in a Semi-Solid Concentric arrangement in which the individual copper strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle. This construction significantly reduces strand interaction distortion. The greater purity and more uniform grain structure of Long-Grain Copper further reduces distortion. In addition, NRG-Y2's direction-controlled silver-plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise to ground.

Features

  • Zero Characteristic Impedance for Uncompressed Current Transfer
  • Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
  • Direction-Controlled Conductors & Silver-Plated Shield Drains

 

Zero Characteristic Impedance for Uncompressed Current Transfer

A non-technical analogy for this might be that if you drop a coin in a tube with shampoo in it, no matter how wide (low resistance) that tube, the shampoo (the Characteristic Impedance) is going to get in the way (compromise current transients). Eliminating Characteristic Impedance (Zero means No in this application) is like having only air in the tube, as close to a vacuum as possible. Whether the amp is running at less than a watt or is fully maxed out, the unrestricted transients are visceral — something the whole body understands, no words required.

Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors

NRG-Y2 and NRG-Y3 AC cables use Long-Grain-Copper (LGC) in a 7-strand Semi-Solid Concentric arrangement in which the strands never change position within the bundle. This technique significantly reduces strand-interaction distortion. The higher purity and fewer grains within LGC copper further reduce distortion.

Direction-Controlled Conductors & Silver-Plated Shield Drains

All drawn metal has a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise drains away from where it will cause distortion. The Silver-Plated shield drains efficiently remove RF noise from the line and neutral shields via the wall plug’s “ground” pin – which is why even the 2-Pole “2” models have an unexpected ground pin.

About AudioQuest

AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest is sold in several hundred outlets in the US and in over sixty countries. Bill Lowe (Founder) is especially pleased that this success has been possible despite his insistence that the foundation of the company, and the foundation of AudioQuest marketing, must be the performance of the product. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell … they might learn something they don’t want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of basing the existence of AudioQuest on the performance of the product. However, to Bill, this is the only reasonable way to do business and the only acceptable way to combine his passion for music (and all things high performance), with his need to make a living.

A good value power cable. Removes background noises and delivers good transparency.

Lower bass and sound stage could be improved, though.

I bought this cable for a Samsung OneConnect box - it has significantly improved the overall image quality of the TV (Q95T), with the blacks being deeper. Well worth the upgrade.

I purchased this as a replacement for the cheap power cable on my new Naim Mu-So, and the improvement in sound was subtle but noticeable.

It looks the part also, which is a bonus.

Better bass especially and altogether more dynamic sound. Impressive

Excellent value for money
8 Nov 2021
Verified Buyer
Futureshop was outstanding. They replaced the wrong cable sent within 24 hours and confirmed some card details because of a computer problem at the bank when processing the master card. The AudioQuest NRG Y2 Power Cable arrived in perfect condition. The impressive-looking cable was plugged into my mains conditioner and then to the Apple4kTV 2021, There was an immediate improvement in picture clarity, and the blacks were undoubtedly deeper. There was an improvement in sound whilst streaming music from Tidal. The space between instruments was more precise and detailed. Streaming films resulted in an improvement in the surround sound with more depth in bass sounds.

This product is value for money since the improvements are noticeable and add to the viewing and listening pleasure. I was surprised since the price point for this product is reasonable. Recommend those thinking about a power cable upgrade consider this cable.

Video and audio were all satisfied with the audioquest.

Verified Buyer
Video and audio were all satisfied with the audio quest.

The power cable is connected to the Apple TV, and the color of the TV has been improved.

I am satisfied with both the price and features.

I think I'd like it even more if an air courier ships quickly to Korea, the other side of the globe.

Thank you for taking care of a lot of shopping mall managers.

Notable improvement from stock cable
20 May 2020
Verified Buyer
If you’re looking for the improvement of image and sound quality from the entertainment device with minimum investment, please don’t be afraid to try.

The cable replaced from stock one for PS4, either play game or watch Netflix, the image and sound produce more clear and rich that can be notable immediately. (I also pair with AQ HDMI cable)

The cable upgrade for both PS4 and sound bar can be more enjoyable.

I bought this product to replace the original mains cable of Bluesound Node 2i I have. Audio quality of the streamer was significantly improved after I had connected it by this cable.

Now audio quality is comparable to OPPO 205 DAC I used until now. Thank you Future Shop for excellent product, fast delivery and excellent service.

Bought my 2nd & 3rd NRG Y2 cable
1 Feb 2019
Verified Buyer
Bought my 2nd & 3rd NRG Y2 cable to replace a Merlin Huntsman and NRG X2 power cord that were connected to my satellite decoder & TV respectively. After about 10 - 20 hours of burn-in period, the TV built-in speakers now sounds more life-like with deeper bass while colour tones are more accurate...now able to discern clearly facial details with all the wrinkles and pores!!!

Really improves dynamics as claimed.
24 Dec 2018
Verified Buyer
Really improves dynamics as claimed. . Replaced my Pangea Audio AC14 (C7) which was hooked-up to a Pioneer BDP450 blu-ray player where after about 10 hours of burn-in time, the sound scale coming out from my Dynaudio Emit M20 was really impressive, as though a sub-woofer has been added to the setup!. Low end really rumbles while top side has been given a touch of clarity which makes my Class D amp NAD C368 sounds even more analogue which makes it performs like Class AB.

As what Chord Cable has advised, if budget permit, try to give the best power cable to our source where this improvement would then be channeled down the chain. Give a try to this Y2 and you will be amazed!!!
