AudioQuest Firebird Constant-Current (Source) Power Cable

Firebird Constant-Current (Source) is AudioQuest's AC power cable optimized for constant-current source components, stepping up from the Hurricane Constant-Current (Source) with a combination of solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) and Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors. It complements the Firebird High (Variable) Current cable built for demanding or variable-draw amplifiers. It uses ZERO-Tech for uncompressed current transfer and RF/ND-Tech to cancel induced RF noise, topped with AudioQuest's patented 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) for further RF noise reduction. This product is made to order at AudioQuest headquarters in Irvine, CA, with custom lengths and terminations available — expect moderately delayed fulfillment. As an authorized AudioQuest dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you order the right configuration for your source components.

Key Features

• Solid conductors, preventing strand interaction (a major source of dynamic distortion)
• Carefully finessed combination of Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) and extreme-purity Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS), minimizing grain-boundary distortion
• ZERO-Tech eliminates the electrostatic field between high and low signal conductors, enabling linear RF noise dissipation and uncompressed transients
• RF/ND-Tech minimizes circuit misbehavior by cancelling induced RF noise
• 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS), saturating and polarizing insulation for a clear, dynamic sound against a quiet background
• Direction-controlled, solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) shield conductors maximize RF noise drainage from line and neutral shields to ground via the third pin
• Direction-controlled internal conductors to reduce RF noise
• Hanging-silver over red and beryllium copper terminations
• Made to order, with custom lengths and terminations available

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to the Hurricane Source?
Hurricane Source uses solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors throughout with a 100% PSS RF drain. Firebird Source steps up to a combination of solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) and PSC+ conductors, both sharing the same 16 AWG gauge and ZERO-Tech/RF-ND-Tech/72v DBS technology.

What's the difference between this and the Firebird High (Variable) Current version?
This "Source" version uses 16 AWG conductors optimized for constant-current source components like DACs and streamers. The Firebird High (Variable) Current version uses heavier 11/12 AWG conductors for amplifiers and other high or variable-draw components.

How long does this take to arrive?
Firebird Source is made to order at AudioQuest's headquarters in Irvine, CA, so expect moderately delayed fulfillment compared to in-stock cables. Contact Vinyl Sound for current lead times or to request a custom length or termination.
