FAQ
Why I should upgrade my power cable ? There are a number of reasons why it would be in your best interest to upgrade . When manufacturers produce new equipment it is always the accessories that get over looked . You end up getting a cheap power cable .The common faults of this cable are : Small wire gauge Poor quality connectors No shielding Poor quality copper
How does R.K.CABLE improve on this ? By upgrading your cable to R.K.CABLE the following improvements can be made Increased wire gauge allowing power to flow and not be restricted . High quality connectors have been fitted . Shielding has been provided by means of a mylar tape and a copper braid Highly annealed copper is provided in R.K.CABLE
What can I expect to hear from upgrading my power cable ? As with all accessories there can be differences in the combinations of equipment used . I would have to say that one should expect to hear the following from R.K.CABLE . Lower noise floor. Clearer and more detailed sound . Better treble , defined vocals and firmer and more detailed bass . Smoother sound . More dynamic range .
Where should I begin ? The best place to begin is on your source components such as the CD player or if you have a Home Theatre then it would be the DVD player . And if your budget allows you to go further then the ultimate would be to upgrade all your power cables
What components can i use R.K.CABLE on ? As suggested in the previous question. I would recommend the components in the following order starting with the source . Here is a typical example in two systems . STEREO HOME THEATRE CD player DVD player Pre amplifier Processor amplifier Power amplifier Power amplifier Sub Woofer Visual display being TV , Plasma , Lcd and Projector . Sub Woofer
How would shielding help ? Shielding can help in the following ways . Every power cable radiates EMI which can enter into components and cables in your hifi system resulting in poorer sound quality . These same components can also emit there own RFI and EMI back through the power cable . This is reduced by the shielding , allowing your system to operate more efficiently .
What is EMI ? Electro Magnetic Interference or radiation can be released by electronic and electrical devices that can be found in the home . These can be flourescant lights , electric motors .. It is a noise that can be electrically induced or a transient that can be sent through the cable .. The best defence against this would be to have cabling with high quality shielding and also if needed a high quality power filter .
What is RFI ? Radio Rrequency Interference is an EMI that is transmited at high radio frequencies being above 10khz. . RFI can create noise or dropouts on a wireless system or noise in a sound system . RFI can be generated from a number of sources such as computers , switching power supplies , indoor and outdoor radio broadcast signals . RFI can enter audio system components and cabling resulting in a annoying hiss or distortion in sound quality . The best defence against this is to provide high quality shielded cabling for your system and also if needed a high quality power filter . .
Why is there a tag on my cable ? Every cable made is fitted with its own appliance tag . This is to show that the cable has been made and tested to meet Australian Standards and that it is safe to use . Your safety is our highest priority .
Is R.K.CABLE compliant to Australian Standards ? YES all parts used to make the cable comply to Australian Standards
