Puritan Audio Labs Classic Plus Mains Power Cable

Puritan Audio Labs looks critically at the value of every element incorporated into the design and construction of its mains cables. What area of investment makes a real difference to the sound and what is pointless eye candy?

They discovered that vibration distortion, as picked up by and transmitted by mains cables, is the biggest undoing of any otherwise competently designed cable. Their designs pay special attention to minimising vibration distortion, but of course their attention to detail extends to all of the materials used in the cable and to the terminations at each end. They carried out a massive study of how to optimally screen against the widest bandwidth of electromagnetic disturbances, not merely those easily screened by conventional materials and methods.

The result of all this effort, even for the entry level Classic cable, is a mains power cable like no other with a level of performance that totally defies its price. The new Classic Plus cable introduces an additional screening layer to the unique carbon nanotechnology screen already incorporated into the Classic cable. A trickle down technology from the development programme for Puritan Audio Labs’ Ultimate mains cable, MAG-X is a highly flexible magnetic screen that massively broadens the spectrum of efficacy, greatly improving upon the capabilities of conventional RFI screens. The addition of this extra screening layer to the Classic cable formula led to the Classic Plus, bridging the gap between the Classic and Ultimate mains power cables.

The Classic Plus mains cable is available with a standard IEC C13 “kettle” connector, suitable for use with most home audio components, IEC C7 “figure 8” connector or a heavy duty C19 connector suitable for use with Puritan Audio Labs mains purifiers, Chord PowerHAUS mains blocks and other compatible equipment. Custom lengths are available on request.
