Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension


Thoughts on high current power cables for amplifiers Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension.  

It seems like a lot of people praise the Dragon

I bough a used AQ dragon on audiogon once. I’ll never know if it was legitimate or a chinese knockoff

as you can see if you research, the dragon PC prices fluctuate dramatically. I actually used mine for a few months but I dont believe aftermarket PCs work that well with gryphon amps. And they test their stuff with their own cords and even provide their cords for you if you buy the Apex.

I wasnt seeing a huge improvement given the price, so I sold it for a rather large profit...

Hence my issue with buying this item on this website. I wouldnt buy used unless full documentation. Or just buy new haha

Yes this is a concern of mine. But I usually look at how many positive reviews a seller has. I bought a Shunyata research on Us Audiomart and there was a noticeable improvement.

I mean when they say it's a demo is it?

        The resident OCD IMPOSTER, of a FICTIONAL intelligence operative, has the gall to claim:

                    "Someone not afraid to speak the truth! "

                                                  HILARIOUS!

You need to do some research on circuit breakers, what you said is incorrect. A 15 amp breaker will trip at 80% of it’s 15 amp rating which is 12 amps, but that’s continuous, breakers are time sensitive. A lot more than 15 amps for short durations can and does happen without the breaker tripping.

Actually a 15 amp breaker will pass 15 amps continuous load all day long without tripping. Some breakers more than that.

NEMA Standard:

Breaker rating 0-30A. Allowable Trip Time.

A 15 amp breaker must, supposed to, trip at a continuous 20.25A , (135%), in 1 hour.

30 amps continuous, (200%), in 2 minutes.

Must... Hopefully will...

A loose wire to breaker terminal connection, will cause heat to be generated in the loose connection and will transfer to the thermal unit in the breaker, causing the breaker to trip at current lower than 15 amps.

.

The breaker doesn’t see VD, (Voltage Drop), that may be created on the branch circuit wiring because of the connected load. Or the power supply of an amplifier being pushed hard, playing a high dynamic music as it pulls short bursts, (gulps), of current to resupply current, (actually I believe it's electrical energy), to the electrolytic caps. Power amplifier’s power supplies like a steady state line voltage.
