Quick Facts — AudioQuest AQ-NRG-Y3 Power cable
- Brand: AudioQuest
- Model: AQ-NRG-Y3
- Type: Hi-Fi power cable
- Length: 2 m
- Voltage: 230 V
- Connectors: Schuko and IEC
- Conductors: LGC (Long Grain Copper)
NRG-Y3 is a 2 m power cable for 230 V with Schuko and IEC connectors, built for High End Hi-Fi and other electronic components. The conductors are LGC (Long Grain Copper) and sit in a construction where they do not create interference between each other and do not shift inside the cable.
AudioQuest NRG-Y3 is recommended in particular for all AudioQuest equipment. The cable is used with amplifiers, subwoofers, TVs and turntables and can contribute added definition and detail from the components.
Why Hi-Fi installers choose NRG-Y3 power cable
A power cable handles a limited frequency range, but the strong signal brings a high risk of incoming and outgoing electromagnetic interference, especially as it often lies close to signal cables. NRG-Y3 has LGC conductors with fine conductive properties for minimal resistance in power transfer.
The construction holds the conductors in place and prevents interference between them. This makes the cable an affordable upgrade to the power supply of a High End system.
Where NRG-Y3 power cable performs best
NRG-Y3 suits systems with components that are sensitive to interference via the mains. Both analogue and digital equipment is affected, not least:
- D/A converters
- CD players
- Amplifiers and subwoofers
- TVs and turntables

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does NRG-Y3 power cable from AudioQuest suit equipment with an IEC inlet?
Yes, if the equipment has an IEC inlet and runs on 230 V. The 2 m cable has a Schuko plug at one end and an IEC connector at the other. NRG-Y3 is recommended in particular for AudioQuest equipment.
Which lengths does NRG-Y3 power cable from AudioQuest come in?
NRG-Y3 comes in lengths from 1 to 3 m. This variant is 2 m and has LGC (Long Grain Copper) conductors.
What sets NRG-Y3 from AudioQuest apart from other power cables?
NRG-Y3 has LGC (Long Grain Copper) conductors with minimal resistance. The conductors are positioned so they do not create interference between each other and do not shift inside the cable, which an ordinary appliance cable is not described as having.
