Power cord: Designates the cable, which is used for the power supply for the components of a HiFichain is necessary. However, since it is "only" responsible for the power supply, it led a rather shadowy existence for a long time. Those times seem to be over.
Three essential points distinguish a good mains cable from an accessory cable:
- The contacts: Plugs coated with gold, silver or rhodium should minimize contact resistance.
- The conductor: The cross-section is larger than the standard 0,75 m² and purer material is used. This lowers the Resistance and should prevent "power hunger".
- The structure: Individual shielding the cores of a cable.
