The sound of SilentPower.
We have made a number of āclean powerā products in our nine-year history to date, but one thing we havenāt made is a specialist IEC power cable for home audio components ā until now!
TheĀ NovaĀ is a specialised power cable with a high-end construction that belies its affordable price point. It delivers a serious upgrade over standard mains leads that imbues sound with greater clarity, space and definition.
The Cable.
TheĀ NovaĀ incorporates five conductors, each made from heavy-gauge, continuous-cast OFHC (Oxygen-Free High Thermal Conductivity) copper, arranged in a geometrically balanced configuration ā highly unusual at such a price point.
Two pairs of live and neutral conductors are arranged either side of the earth conductor, which is positioned at the centre of the cable. A further pair of air-dielectric delineators ā essentially polymer matrix tubes filled with air ā are arranged either side of the earth conductor, keeping the two pairs of live and neutral conductors apart whilst improving the cableās overall dielectric performance and constructive solidity.
The cable is finished with a tough yet flexible polymer outer sheath and iFiās bespoke audiophile-grade connectors, complete with 24ct gold plated oxygen-free copper conductors.
Ground Zero
As already mentioned, theĀ NovaĀ incorporates five conductors, each made from heavy-gauge, continuous-cast OFHC (Oxygen-Free High Thermal Conductivity) copper, arranged in a geometrically balanced configuration.
Two pairs of live and neutral conductors are arranged either side of the earth conductor, which is positioned at the centre of the cable. The ground conductor is arranged in a shotgun configuration and not twisted around like other mains cables. The live and neutral conductors are arranged in a truly balanced configuration, hence their magnetic fields cancel each other out perfectly.
As a result, there is no residual magnetic field being applied to the centre ground conductor, and no unwanted induced voltage on the Ground conductor ā we call this designĀ Ground Zero.
The result? Pure, silent power.
The result of this sophisticated mix of materials and construction is that theĀ NovaĀ power cable offers constant impedance and superior rejection of EMI/RFI, maintaining the purity of mains electricity feeding each component in an audio or AV system.
While the effect of this cable on sound quality is significant when used on its own, it combines brilliantly with ourĀ PowerStationĀ mains-conditioning bar āĀ theĀ PowerStationĀ filters out common mode and differential mode noise from the mains supply, while theĀ NovaĀ maintains optimum purity right through to the connected component.
A ādo-it-allā active power cable
By combiningĀ Novaās sophisticated construction withĀ Active Noise Cancellation II, theĀ SupaNovaĀ has become a ādo-it-allā clean-power cable solution that delivers optimised power to individual audio/AV system components without the need for a separate mains conditioning device.
Sonic improvements delivered by theĀ SupaNovaĀ power cable include greater clarity and definition, plus enhanced dynamic and spatial qualities, avoiding the apparent softening of leading edges, timing and dynamics that can occur with lesser mains filtering products.

OurĀ Ground ZeroĀ design ensures the grounding conductor within the cable is unaffected by residual magnetism and unwanted induced voltage.

The constant impedance design helps to maintain the purity of the mains electricity flowing into each piece of equipment in an audio system or an AV set-up.

This is a true balanced power cable.
Using true geometrically balanced pairs means that the magnetic fields caused by the live and neutral conductors cancel each other out perfectly. This is a key component in theĀ Ground ZeroĀ design.
Double circular helix power line design with air-dielectric delineators.
This twisted configuration further aids RFI/EMI rejection.
The cable design incorporates concurrent shielding for individual power lines and therefore creates a cable offering constant impedance, that is superbly insulated from EMI/RFI and feeds your audio or AV system with clean electricity for improved sound and performance.
