AudioQuest Thunder High (Variable) Current Power Cable
Thunder is AudioQuest's High/Variable-Current AC power cable, optimized for components with demanding or variable current draw. It combines solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) and Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors with 6% silver RF drains, 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 components.
Key Features
- Solid conductors, preventing strand interaction (a major source of dynamic distortion)
- Combination of high-purity Long-Grain Copper (LGC) and highest-purity Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, 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
- 6% silver-plating over the copper base metal to improve noise dissipation
- 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

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "High/Variable-Current" mean for my choice of component?
Thunder is optimized for components that draw high or variable current, such as power amplifiers, rather than constant-draw source components. AudioQuest also makes the Blizzard for constant- and variable-current components alike.
How long does this take to arrive?
Thunder 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.
Can I get a custom length or connector?
Yes, custom lengths and terminations are available — contact Vinyl Sound for details.
