The Audio Asylum Mains Power Cord

Based loosely on the Bob Crump Audio Asylum Power Cord, this is a one metre mains lead made with belden 19364 audiophile cable fitted with a Wattgate 320i IEC and MK 655 Toughplug, both have been cryogenically treated and silver plated for improved electrical conducivity and to stop the metal from corroding. 1.5 metres long.

Belden 19364 cable has been famous in audio circles for over 20 years, sadly the originator of the Asylum Power Cord, Bob Crump passed away in 2005 but his legend lives on, see here for details of the power cord.

At mains-Cables-R-Us we have taken the basic design of the Asylum power cord which had a USA marinco plug and a Schurter IEC connector and made what we consider a vast improvement in performance by fitting the industry standard Wattgate 320i IEC but with the added benefit of silver plating which is proven to improve electrical conductivity and reduce corrosion of the contact pins.

As the lead is intended for UK audiophiles there is only one plug worthy of consideration, the MK Toughplug, cryogenically treated and silver plated in the UK for optimum performance on both music and movies. Finally we have added 2 ferrite rings which help to combat radio frequency interferance (RFI) which is present in all house-holds and can rob your hi-fi and AV system of rythm and timing, making it sound dull and flat.
 
There is no better performing mains power lead unless spending a lot more, you will see and hear the difference this cable can make to your hi-fi and AV equipment, buy and enjoy, below is a comment received by a customer using these cables on his hi-fi system:-

The house doesn't know what hit it...!! Well let me tell you what... I do have a very good sounding well matched system anyway. But I have definitely improved the tightness of bass and also improved the separation of sound when lots of instruments are involved and the sound is full. So I am very pleased indeed. And your cables are very smart indeed - very professionally put together. There's a few years experience there!!! Unfortunately I have taken them off for now... the wife will be insistent as they are for Christmas! I won't tell her I rocked the house earlier!
