So happy to be informed of this great Canadian cable company.

I have a 60,000$ 2 channels systems (without the cables). I get rid of all my "exotic” high priced cables and replaced them with Blue Jean Cables. The results were astonishing in terms of improvement. Better and tighter bass, clearer highs, more air and depth in sound. In fact I was shocked when I heard the difference. I sold my 17,000$ worth of cables and replaced them with a 1000$ worth of Blue Jean Cables. I will never fall again into the snake oil super high priced exotic cables again. I saved thousands of dollars for a better performance.

Whats the point of those power cables, the house hold wiring where i am is only 2.5mm2 supplying up to 16A at 240v those cables look over kill and i would assume they are. Only benefit which i hope is included in the design is some sort of shielding for interference. its supplying power not signals and if the power is clean the standard will be fine just keep away from speaker cables but than again those high end one are shielded as well

Excellent description of the sonic characteristics and quality.

Absolutely great information. I found out things I truly didn't know.

Jaaayy I got my NRG speaker cables delivered today! 4 months in order after your review. I did not watch this video again until now. But funny how soundstage, musicality was my first impression as well. It just sounds better somehow. And more detailed. I tried to find the same words for it. Thank you for the great reviews!

JAY STAY AWESOME, MUCH RESPECT , YER A COOL AUDIOPHILE !!

It’s okay to mention that they outperform more expensive cables…but you should mention the names of those more expensive cables, same as you do with speaker comparisons.

Would Steve Huff consider these end game? (only to be replaced the next week with with something more transparent and holographic? 😂😂😂

I have used NRG cables for about five years. I started with NRG because I need a 20 Amp cable for a power supply. The NRG cable easily and immediately bested a Shunyata cable that was four time more expensive. As Jay notes, the NRG power cables genuinely do make an audible difference. Bass is open and deep and there is an easy, non-fatiguing sense to the sound overall. I've used the NRG on a Devialet amp as well as modified Sonos components. Nawaz makes outstanding cables, and perhaps most importantly, he stands behind his products, and responds immediately to any question or concern. Once, I had an issue with an NRG power cable. I wrote to him and within five minutes, I had a return label and within a few days, I had a replacement in hand. That level of service and support is almost impossible to find today. Please, consider his products. They are outstanding, regardless of price.

One should take a look at the internal wiring in most audio equipment , even have a look at the hair fine wiring solderd in those power transistors.........

You echoed my first interaction with higher quality cables just recently I have a Cambridge axr100 going Into elac debut b6.2 saving for the A6 streamer but I got a set of transparent audio performance power cable and hardwire speaker cables not too terribly expensive at all but it didn’t add anything to the sound it almost just lowered the noise floor idk how to explain it the details were more etched sounds had crisper textures I wasn’t a cable denier but I wasn’t a believer either I was of the mind I’m buying them for better build quality and aesthetics if it improves my sound that’s a bonus and I was pleasantly surprised

I bought 3 of the NRG power cords about years ago and I've been very happy with them.

Hey, you calling my non-OLED TV crappy...😁 Interesting review, thanks!

Jay you have to test audio sensibility brand cables and they are made in Canada, they are the best cables I tried and I have owned really expensive cables!! Take a look they are impressive

I really like Audio Envy cables

I like them =) ... I wonder if there is a really good way to test any of this stuff.

Hi Jay. Just some observations about names/labels of any of these transmission components. As an old-time audiophyle I appreciated the earlier nomenclature because it clarifies what is being mentioned. Namely, speaker cables were historically called 'speaker wires'. Interconnects, whether RCAs or XLRs, were called 'cables'. Power cables were called 'power cords'. I know this borders on pickiness but I think it helps one's understanding when 'cables' are being discussed. I doubt many will go back to these former names but I thought the historical context made sense. Cheers.

Jay it is easy for me to feel your sincerity in your subjective review on cables. And certainly NRG also demonstrates integrity and sincerity to the end user/customer. I do have a question regarding my Fluance RT85 - at medium to high volmume listening - when the Lp side is done playing there is an obvious noise / feedback that I hear which is certainly playing in the background of the music. What can I do to isolate where is the noise coming from? Turntable too close to speaker? vibration from floor (the turntable sits on a separate wooden table about 19 inches off the floor)? Something mechanical within the turntable and/or wiring? And who might I inquire with to resolve this? I will reach out to Fluance to start with. Thanks again...I'm considering the power cable to start.

With a dedicated power source, with a good power regulator/conditioner will power cables make a difference in components running from it?

Great cables and Nawaz is excellent to deal with. Jay, I noticed both the speaker and power cable terminations are gold, Nawaz offers Rhodium plating, I’ve often heard of using rhodium power and interconnect terminations and warming things up with gold speaker connectors. Any thoughts from you or Nawaz? And I have to agree with a few comments on here about the IEC end not making a great sturdy connection with the equipment it’s powering.

I heard more improvement when I put new power cords on my preamp and power amps (monoblocks), less so on sources. I like the power cords I have, but they're not very flexible. Flexibility is a big deal to me. If I ever decide to replace them, NRG will be a definite consideration. Do the NRG cords have any noise reduction features? The cords I have now do.

I’ve had good luck with Audio Envy Studio Prestige RCA interconnects cables (matched pair) $150

Thx bro❤

I like your style and what you do. Keep up the good work, it’s cool.

Im not trying to cause any issues here but i have never saw a video yet that says the wires in our wall to our power outlets are just 14 gauge or 12 gauge romex so if thats the standard for a power outlet how does the cables help or even make difference? Thx

I have purchased from NRG. Nawaz is a great guy. Products are worth the money, BUT, they are VERY heavy cables. The .1CS I purchased did sag and partially pull away from a Synergistic Research receptrical. I also had issues with another that the IEC would not stay securely on the back of my Denafrips or my Marantz without support. Again, these are worth the money but the down side is that unless Nawaz has changed construction in the last 18 months they present problems due to weight.

Jay, Have you ever used Morrow Audio cables? If yes, what's your opinion on these?

So how do these compare against GR Research's?

Greetings Jay,enjoy your show as usual. Nice of you to introduce & share your recent canbles discovery. Very often a better deal is out there to be had from small private company's like this one that put more into their products & less in advertising. Keep up the honesty. Peace out....🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇧👊🏾

For reasonable priced cables it’s worth checking out some of the off the reel cables from Belden, Mogami and Gotham. Also the old WE based cables from Duelund, tinned copper in cotton and oil insulation. Jeff Day and Doctor John are a good starting point for info. For mains cables Puritan are reasonably priced and very good. A good plug makes a difference, look at KLE, Duelund , Furutech, WTB and if you can afford it Bocchino.

Expensive cables are what I call snake oil. My friend brought to my house some 5,000 usd speaker wires, to see if I would notice any difference, but with my descent 10 AWG oxygen free all copper speaker wires, I didn’t notice any difference. I would like to see a blind test of those who claim they can listen to a difference between descent and extremely expensive cables. You better invest that money on a nice set of speakers and you will be then rewarded for the price you paid!

I will get some old jumper cables and crimp goon connectors on them.

AliExpress is the way. Great cables for reasonable cost.

Their website is down?

Regarding upscale power cables, I believe I have other things to bring into the mix first, for trying to get a noticeable improvement in the resolution of my current 2 channel system. That being said, I did resolve a mild ground loop hum by routing standard power cables to get around deficiencies of the house circuitry (needing to have a second sub to get power off the same circuit as the first sub to cure the hum). Not everything is right with the world concerning the wall receptacle(s) you plug your gear into. If you have your equipment plugged into a receptacle(s) that is on a circuit(s) with ceiling fans, dimmer light switches, florescent lights, GFI outlets, electrically noisy devices, sloppy ground wiring, etc. you may want to first deal with cleaning up the source you plug your equipment into. In a perfect world, you'd have a dedicated high quality power receptacle that is wired straight from the breaker panel with nothing else on the circuit (and with that wire run being "shielded" if possible). Easier said than done of course, but you may be lucky in your home layout that running a dedicated circuit is not overly complicated and not terribly expensive. If you think "clean power" is going to make a sound difference for your listening enjoyment, I'd first look at the circuit that any audiophile high end cables will be plugging into.

What model #for speaker wire?

Is nrg available in europe?

Really appreciate you finding these and doing a review. The spec is absolutely insane for the price. I’ve done a bunch of DIY builds and just the materials cost is pretty much the price. Crazy deal and well thought out cable. Definitely my next set of cables!

Since your review of OGY speakers, I ordered a pair, should get them by nextweek. Love small, full range speakers ... my hopes are high !

Believing in something, anything, should not require that anybody else believes the same. So, when a person doesn't believe that there is a measurable difference or any at all, don't get mad. A person has to be perfectly okay with believing for themselves. Belief or faith does not equal fact.

there is a snake somewhere playing in oil.

Do you ever A B comparable brands, rather than just a stock cable?

Yes. MOGAMI or SUPRA

Heavy gauge speaker cables need some physical props. These can be homemade solutions.

Strange they dont make inter-connect cables. Quite a difficult website to follow. Lost faith already !!

Jay, have you ever done your own cables? Have been considering it myself.

What about fuse? The tiny wire in the fuse?

Look good as long as you don’t need cables for 10-12 weeks. Custom built.

Very interesting. I'm running custom Kimber 24TC from UK tweaker Russ Andrews (no longer available AFAIK) at 4.5 meters long and am very pleased with them. But i'm always open for an upgrade :-) Thanks for the heads up, Jay! All the best, Rob in Switzerland

😃How much is the power cable!

Jay! Where do i get that reproduction Eames chair?

Look nice, I've had good luck with Take Five Audio. They are also a Canadian company.

Better than Mogami?

But, but, but, what about the bottle-necked connectors on the pieces of audio equipment, Jay? How does the benefits of the cables get past the inferior quality connectors on the actual equipment?

dam, u went down the rabbit hole reviewing this one!

Hi kimber kable or nordost

I bought an NRG power cable. Couldn't use it. Made with a C15 IEC connector, which is smaller and longer than the C14 IEC. I tried a few different things to get it to fit tightly, but I gave up after a few attempts. It was just loose. Couldn't chance damaging my DAC (PS Audio Direct Stream) The cable was well crafted and beautiful. I was really disappointed.

Blue Jeans Cables "Ten White" (10 gauge, by Belden) user here...Besides these, i might purchase pure silver wire by Mundorf. Cheers from Portugal

Is his cables considered OCC? How does this compare with AudioQuest Rocket 44(s)? PSC+?

I'm intrigued...How did they compare to the GR Research cables? Also love the look of them.

those cables are almost as thick as you wrist, maybe they amplify the sound also?

😂OYAIDE Silver cable is still the Chosen one. OYAIDE the Sub contractors of $28,000 Crystal cable Da Vinic cable😘

How does it compare to Blue Jeans Cable in terms of audio quality?

Why copper wires when you have fiber/ Ferrites

Price?

What about the female plugs on your equipment + internal wiring? Prob negates any perceived benefit of these cables.

I think I call bullshit on the power cables... Consider most residential services are aluminum wire from the pole to the main panel, that power runs through a meter and then energizes the buss bars on the panel then through a circuit breaker and finally through what ever type of wire to the outlet, quality of both to be considered, so having a better power cable can not be any better then the worst part of the chain the current had to follow to get there. Perhaps if your are using an isolation transformer than it may have a positive effect in decreasing your noise floor.

David Elrod makes great cables also

I am going to try Maze, and some other lesser known company that cableco carries. Much less expensive than these NRGs.

I've always believed in placebo power. As it occurs in medicine, so it does in audio as well.

Hey Bud, haven't seen Two Gents in your vids in a while...He still doing ok?

Nice cable but they dont many audible difference.

If your on a budget, It's hard to beat Benchmark Media power cables and Mogami speaker cable. Tekton makes a reasonably priced set.

I'm wondering if I could tell a difference if I use these cables with cheap gear or would it have to be high-end gear before I could tell a difference?

Love that you integrate CAM, bro. Very useful

My cable decisions are driven by wire gauge. The bigger the better. I did spring for a gold plated electrical outlet. Paid an electrician $350 to move my fiber optic internet jack next to the outlet so all my devices are hard wired.

Aluminium! 👍🤠

6N is OCC territority .........

Ok, so the cables look great ,,,,but but as far as wall outlets and wall cables any and all 120/240 outlets are crap solid copper ish wire that you can buy at any electrical store or Home Depot. So other than look . I think once you power goes in a unit then the work starts.

Hahaha

It’s hard to describe a blacker background in words but you know it when you hear it. Like trying to describe a void or nothing, there’s more nothing lol.

Will one hear a difference using lesser equipment? For example, I use a Yamaha s801 and Bowers and Wilkins 705s. I have heard that a better power cable would help with the Yamaha

Hmm.. it all goes though 0.3 mm x 0.03 mm thick copper (probably recycled from the etching process) traces on the circuit board. 😊

Love my 10-gauge lamp cord! 😀👍🏼

$360 to ship to U.S. ?!?

I thought you said Energy as tge Canadian speaker company.

Yeah I got some really expensive German power cables, top of their line (bt I seriously can't remember the name anymore) and they've been lying on a shelf in the attic for YEARS now because they're absolutely not flexible at all. It looks so awkward and ugly in the living room, they go forward over a foot before finally bending down and even after that they're way too clumsy. They stick out over 2 feet before they finally touch the ground and then still they need to get into the equipment that I bought them for. Absolutely useless in a normal living room! For now I just use the cheap-ass crap that comes for free with the equipment.

Whats happenings with ur homeboy that used to be on here with u?

Around $300 USD for speaker cables seems very reasonable.

See’s video title…. revs up bullshit cycle 😂😂😂 I do love a nice looking cable my earrings don’t help me hear better but they look nice on my ears ❤️

So, darker background, better layering, better imaging, wider soundstage, clearer sound, better frequency extension in the highs AND the lows, better bass control, etc. Dude, that's a LOT of improvements for a power cable, just sayin'...

Yeah man! Terrific find. I may get a power cable from them. Well done. Happy to support a nice Canadian company.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You keep saying affordable but you’re not once telling us the price. Isn’t that quite important?

They don't make interconnects - bummer.

LOL. You used the word “science” in the same video as audiophile power cables.

Once You go to real silver offerings, you just laugh about these copper conductor solutions.

People think that the better cables are better built. I think that it really is that lower priced cables are built to lower standards.
