About This Item
Description
The Source AC is designed to create the kind of first-listen realization that a spec sheet alone cannot convey — many owners are surprised that a power cable can meaningfully improve an amplifier or component. This listing is the 5 ft (1.5 m), Wattgate IEC + US plug version.
Choose the right version
This is the 5 ft (1.5 m) version with a Wattgate US NEMA 5-15P wall plug into an IEC C13 connector. Pick the length that reaches comfortably from your outlet or conditioner to the component.
Why engineers choose the Source AC
Engineers and players choose the Source AC because power delivery matters. Solid IGL copper replaces ordinary stranded wire, with the hot and neutral formed from four isolated cores each in a helical array around the earth conductor, and 100% shielding that blocks noise and bleeds it to ground.
Honest note: this listing uses a US (NEMA 5-15P) wall plug via the Wattgate 5266i; confirm compatibility with your region.
