PAUL'S REFERENCE AudioQuest Dragon AC Power Cable

PAUL'S REFERENCE AudioQuest Dragon AC Power Cable

Paul's Reference power cable choice for the entire Music Room II Reference system is AudioQuest's Dragon. Paul uses the fixed-current Dragons for the source gear and the variable-current Dragons for Power Plants and BHK Amplifiers. These babies are the best he's yet heard and will make magic in your system.
One of the biggest improvements to Music Room II—PS Audio's Reference System—has been the addition of AQ's Dragon power cables. These gems have breathed new life and opened up the soundstage in ways rarely experienced in this world class system. AC power technology is well over a century old and was never designed to meet the exacting standards of today’s high resolution audio-video components. AC noise is at the utility source, and is made worse by the component power supply. This creates distortion and low-level signal losses via the “masking effect.” The AQ Dragons solve this problem by the use of superior conductors, controlling the characteristic impedance, and dissipating ground noise. Connect a Dragon to your high-end audio system today, and get ready to be amazed.

  • Design

    Power amplifiers present a real challenge for any AC power source, as the transient current requirements can be many times that of the average current consumption. Power amplifiers are also unique from all other components in that the current draw is dynamic, not constant, and it changes with volume and audio signal content. Though many AC power cords may feature low DC resistance to allow for some of this requirement, the characteristic impedance of the AC cable is equally responsible for assuring uncompromised performance.

  • Application

    AQ Dragons are available in two versions: High (Variable) Current for Power Plants, power amplifiers, and any power conditioner, and Source (Constant) Current tailored specifically for source equipment and lower-powered devices like DACs and transports.

    Technology

    Perfect-Surface Technology applied to extreme-purity silver provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver minimizes distortion caused by the grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.
