Choose Your Power Cable
A structured guide to selecting the right high-end audio power cable for your system.
Power is the foundation of signal integrity.
Before resolution, before dynamics, before tonal balance - there is current delivery.
The quality of electricity entering your system affects noise floor, transient control, and overall stability. This guide helps you choose the right level of power control for your setup.
What is an audiophile power cable?
An audiophile power cable is engineered to deliver stable current while reducing electrical noise before it reaches your components.
Unlike generic power cords, it uses controlled conductor geometry, high-purity copper, optimized grounding, and precision assembly to minimize interference and preserve signal integrity.
Power does not add character.
It removes instability.
Quick comparison
| Your Priority | Recommended Cable |
|---|---|
| Clean, stable power foundation | BlackCore |
| Speed, punch, and macro-dynamics | RedCore |
| Lower noise floor without losing energy | RedCore NoiseBlock |
| Maximum refinement and tonal density | GoldCore |
A Simple Rule of Thumb
-
If you want a clean, controlled starting point → BlackCore
-
If your system needs more drive and impact → RedCore
-
If noise limits clarity or separation → RedCore NoiseBlock
-
If everything else is optimized and you want the best → GoldCore
Each cable is designed to complement your system, not change its character.
BlackCore Power Cable
Foundation level
Best for:
Systems seeking a clean, stable, and controlled power baseline.
Performance profile:
BlackCore is the entry point into the Pure Line Audio power range. It reduces electrical noise, stabilizes current flow, and improves overall control. Expect a quieter background, tighter bass response, and better focus compared to standard power cables.
A solid foundation for serious systems.

RedCore Power Cable
Dynamic upgrade
Best for:
Amplifiers and power-hungry systems that demand speed and current delivery.
Performance profile:
RedCore is built for fast transient response and macrodynamic impact. It delivers stronger current flow and improved energy transfer, allowing amplifiers and demanding components to operate with greater freedom and authority.
Designed for systems that thrive on immediacy and control.

RedCore NoiseBlock Power Cable
Noise-optimized performance
Best for:
Electrically noisy rooms, complex setups, and systems sensitive to interference.
Performance profile:
Built on the RedCore architecture and enhanced with an integrated NoiseBlock module, this cable actively captures and dissipates electromagnetic interference before it reaches your system.
The result: a darker background, improved separation, and greater clarity — without sacrificing dynamics.

GoldCore Power Cable
Reference level
Best for:
DACs, streamers, and reference systems where tonal refinement and texture matter most.
Performance profile:
GoldCore represents the highest level of power refinement in the Pure Line Audio range. Voiced for balance, composure, and tonal richness, it delivers smooth presentation, enhanced harmonic texture, and stable control.
Ideal for revealing systems and long listening sessions.

How Power Affects Your System
Incoming electricity is not neutral.
Unstable power can introduce:
-
Increased noise floor
-
Reduced dynamic precision
-
Impedance inconsistencies
-
Tonal imbalance
-
Ground interference
Controlled power improves:
-
Background silence
-
Transient accuracy
-
Bass stability
-
System composure
-
Long-term reliability
Power is upstream. Everything depends on it.
