No matter how perfect an AC power source, distortion isadded within any AC cable, especially within a stranded cable. Even the mostsophisticated filters and power supplies cannot eliminate this cable-induceddistortion. SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) CONDUCTORS: Solid conductorseliminate strand-interaction distortion. Evergreen’s solid Long-Grain Copperallows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-FreeHigh-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specificationregarding loss without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxideswithin the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, anddefinitively better performance. STAR-QUAD GEOMETRY: The relationship between conductorsdefines a cable’s most basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance). However, even when those variables are kept in a reasonable balance, therelationship between conductors can be varied in ways that greatly affect thesound. The Star-Quad construction of NRG-1 allows for significantly betterdynamic contrast and information intelligibility than if the same conductorswere run in parallel. COLD-WELD SYSTEM: This novel plug design enables a perfectheat-free connection between cable and plug. The connection between the plugand conductors is made using AQ’s Cold-Weld System, which provides a superiorconnection that ensures that the structural integrity of the conductor is keptcompletely intact.   The Cold-Weld Systemrefers to a combination of high pressure at the point of contact and the use ofcopper- or silver-impregnated paste.
