Mains Cables
Most products nowadays have detachable mains leads, If yours do then a worthwhile improvement in sound quality can be heard from plugging in an Audiophile grade mains cable.
If you’re unsure of the type of mains connector you need please look at the list here
Mains cable sound quality is a complex issue, so I’ve tried to avoid giving subjective impressions here, as it is ultimately very dependent upon the equipment but also the quality of the mains where it is used. For this reason we recommend trying cables at home before purchasing wherever possible.
Supra LoRad
The LoRad (Low Radiation) cable uses a unique and innovative screen design that does not require a drain wire yet still offers excellent shielding. The ‘LoRad 1.5’ cable (currently the only model available pre terminated) has 3 x 1.5 sq mm conductors.
Supra ‘LoRad 1.5’ 1M IEC mains cable: £39.99
Supra ‘LoRad 1.5’ 1.5M IEC mains cable: £44.99
Supra ‘LoRad 1.5’ 2M IEC mains cable: £49.99
Supra ‘LoRad 1.5’ 4M IEC mains cable: £69.99
Chord SuperScreen
The SuperScreen uses a dual foil screen and damping similar to that used in their PowerChord (detailed lower down this page) but at a very accessible price.

Our work with mains distribution blocks led us to look for a good quality cable that we were happy to put our name to. We listened to a very wide selection of cables and ended up choosing the cable you see here. We didn’t plan to offer it separately, but we were so pleased with its performance that we decided we just had to. It’s a screened copper cable and as standard is finished with a black outer sleeving (other colours are available if required, possibly for a small extra cost) and as standard is supplied as a 1.5 metre length. As standard is comes with a IEC connector, but naturally we are able to terminated the cable with whatever plug you require.
Deco Audio Mains Cable 1.5m long with IEC connector: £90.00
Rega Reference Series Power Lead
The Rega Reference Series Power Lead uses a fully earth tinned copper braid surrounding 1.5 mm square copper conductors for both huge current capability and low noise. This is a very consistent sounding cable, working well with every item we’ve tried it with, and is a very good value for money cable. It is terminated with an IEC connector and is 1.5 metres long.
Rega Reference Series Power Lead: £95.00
Chord ‘Power Chord’
The Power Chord is a dual layer shielded cable with high density vibration damping outer jacket. It is available with either IEC or 16A IEC connectors (the latter for an extra £15 cost). Longer length cables are available, just add £25 per extra metre required.

Atlas Eos
The Eos mains cable is made with high purity OFC copper strands that are insulated with extruded PTFE (Teflon), twisted to reject EMI, damped by the use of cotton filler stands, wrapped in an aluminium foil (with drain wire) and covered with PVC sheath beneath a fabric outer sleeve.
Two different gauges of wire are available, 2mm (rated up to 20Amps) and 4mm. There is a choice of quality of connectors, with Rhodium ones available as an optional extra. Prices below are for UK mains plugs to IEC’s, but Schuko and Hubbel connectors are also available (please enquire for pricing).

Nordost Mains Cables
Above left: Purple Flare figure of 8 cable Above Right: Blue Heaven mains cable
The range of Nordost cables features their micro mono filament design which uses silver plated very high purity copper strands with individual insulation. They provide a very detailed sound that gains weight and scale as you progress through the range. These cables are available in any length required, however please note that Nordost recommend the ideal minimum length of each cable should be 2 metres for the best performance, so I have priced them accordingly below. 16A IEC connectors are available on the Vishnu and above for no extra cost.

Audio Note Sogon mains cable
The Sogon mains cable is, like all the top Audio Note cables, made with pure silver conductors. It is remarkably flexible by the standards of most audiophile mains cables. A full write up will follow, but initial listening to this shows a new level of subtlety and expansiveness is possible and it works exceptionally well with source components and pre amplifiers. For exceptionally high current applications I may suggest trying multiple runs for the optimum performance. It is priced per unterminated half metre, we can supply and fit a variety of suitable connectors for individual applications, please contact us for details.
