May 2023: 

 

For all of those who've been asking and patiently waiting for this,

we're very happy to announce the return of The Silver Hybrid 3 power cable

to our range.

Now with enhanced shielding - hence it will now be known as

the Silver Hybrid 3+. 

​

It's available with UK, European or US plugs. 

 

............

 

Construction: 

​

Sliver Hybrid 3+ uses silver-plated conductors insulated in low loss silicone rubber. These are twisted and comprehensively shielded against RFI and EMI and covered with a vibration-reducing black braid. 

​

In a power cable, comprehensive shielding is perhaps the biggest factor affecting the sound achieved - this stops interference from outside of the cable

dirtying-up the power being fed into your hifi gear.

Also it stops the cable radiating interference which might otherwise be picked up by your signal cables and other hi-fi components, causing distortion. 

​

This is basically how it is that the last metre or two of mains cable (the bit that isn't buried in the walls) can make such a difference to a high-end hi-fi - it's this removal of radiated and absorbed interference, reducing distortion.

​

Connectors:

 

The silver-plated conductors are comprehensively shielded, then terminated with very high quality plugs: 

All versions use the exquisite Oyaide C-037 IEC connectors from Japan at the equipment end. 

At the wall end, the European and US versions are terminated with Oyaide P-037e and Oyaide P-037, respectively.

Oyaide don't make a UK 3-pins plug, so for the UK version we use a high quality plug with silver-plated pins for a superior low-loss contact.

Safety:

 

Of course, safety is paramount with power cables and for this reason, all of our mains cables are hand-made for us in England by a very experienced separate specialist contractor.
