Audioquest DC cables - why are there almost no high end DC cables?
You folks may be over-invested in the star-quad construct. I made several PCs that way from TFT-insulated silver-plated copper wire that were subsequently trounced by thicker, pure silver wire in a simple twisted pair with a foil shield. It's worth a try. Thick silver wire is too expensive for commercial marketing, but relatively cheap for DIY. |
"yeah, the total cable is 16awg, but it uses 2 x 19awg conductors for each leg." the site says 2 x 16awg so does that mean 2 poles and in total 16 awg? I read it as 2 times 16awg, so 1 x 16awg conductors for each leg? This is what I found on another site: thickness conducturs: 2 x 1,31mm² The main question is: will it fit an Oyaide 2.5 and 2.1 DC plug? http://shoponstage.com/Oyaide-DC25G-DC-Power-Plug Body Material: Gold-plated brass finish Cover material: Berri brass chrome-plated finish Plug Type: PL03A (φ5.5mmxφ2.5mm) Max Cable O.D.: 6.3mm Accessories: Comes with three silicon spacer rings Manufacturer Oyaide electricity Maybe by taking the sleeves off at plugs end? We can use heatshrink to cover the sleeveless plugs ends off? |
There are 2 x 19awg conductors for the HOT (one blade), and then another 2 x 19awg conductors for NEUTRAL (the second blade). We call this a 16awg power cord because there is 16awg for each blade. On this particular cable, there is no ground, so it's just 2 major legs. If you look at the picture of NRG-1.5: https://www.audiodestination.co.uk/image/cache/catalog/data/Audioquest/Power/2315lg-800x700.jpg You will see that there are 4 wires total. There are two 19awg conductors for each blade. |
