Analog Power Cords

Description

It has been argued that power cords should not make a difference in the performance of a high-end system, especially considering the miles and miles of power line cables leading up to the AC outlet that you connect your system to. The truth is that the last few feet of power cords are the first length of cable your components see, as a result, it greatly influences the performance of the component. Well-designed power cords should provide safe and clean power to components, eliminating radiated and transmitted noise that can adversely affect the performance of the components.

In today’s environment, noise is very pervasive and usually comes along for the ride when listening to music through high-end systems.  Most types of noise are not readily obvious as they manifest themselves as part of the fabric of the music. They nevertheless cause significant degradation and distortion of the original recordings if not addressed. Noise problems appear as hazy or diffuse images, listener fatigue, spectral anomalies where some frequencies are highlighted over others, flat two-dimensional images that always seem to stick to the front wall, lack of soundstage acoustical cues with poor perception of relative placement within the soundstage, murky transient performance with indistinct attack & decay characteristics and, many more.

A good system with good power quality should reproduce recorded music with unmistakable clarity, speed, dimensionality, finely delineated soundstage layering and, present solid fundamentals to soaring harmonics. The system should be able to morph from one recording to the next, fully interpreting the diversity of recording techniques that move you from small halls to huge cathedrals depending on the recording.

Dynamic Design award-winning power cords, in a well-designed and balanced system, will float images that are devoid of boundaries, wrapping around you with a strong sense of 3-D dimensionality, incredibly wide bandwidth frequency extension and, stunning acoustical cues that put you right in the middle of the performance. Our power cords are designed to get out of the way of your components so your music can soar to new heights and beyond. We pay special attention to all cable design parameters, the conductors, insulation, shielding and, connectors.

Design Features

MLIS™ (Multi-Layered Insulation System) that offer high propagation speeds as a result of extremely low dielectric constants. Insulators do a lot more than prevent the shorting of conductors, they also affect signal transmission speed and distortion. Poor insulators can leach the signal from the conductors, becoming conductors themselves and releasing the leached or stored signal out of phase of the original signal. This causes smearing and other distortions that change the signal relative to the recorded media. Dynamic Design insulators are designed to leach none of the signal transmitted by the conductors resulting in impeccable phase accuracy that renders music with stunning clarity, speed, instrumental timbres and dynamic agility.

HPBM™ (High Purity Bi-Metal) conductors combine the characteristics of complementary metals for maximum conductivity and linear frequency response. Dynamic Design’s HPBM conductors utilize a number of metals in alloy form with high purity Silver, alloyed with many other metals to create conductors with high conductivity and linear spectral signatures. These in turn deliver smooth frequency response that does not favor any frequency over another.

UMLS™ (Unitized Multi-Layer Shielding) technology for ultra-wide bandwidth protection from noise. With noise dominating at higher frequencies, a well-designed shielding system offers more resolution at all frequencies as well as increasing the usable bandwidth of a system. Our Unitized Multi-Layer Shields use two or more shields arrayed concentrically for more uniform coverage and unparalleled wide bandwidth protection from noise. Our UMLS™ technology reduces coupling capacitance between adjacent conductors as well as reducing the total cable capacitance. It also improves signal speeds by up to 38% compared to standard shielding methods with superior delay and slew rate (low rise times) characteristics. It delivers more realistic dynamic transients, acoustical cues and attack and decay characteristics. UMLS™ as implemented in Dynamic Design products offer extension well into the GHz frequencies for a resolute and non-fatiguing wide bandwidth performance.
