The UK mains plug has been custom made for us and features heavily silver-plated pins and a special cover that allows us to apply mechanical damping to the plug.<\/p>\n<p>Power cables are a difficult subject and perhaps mains plugs even more so. The fact is though, that every element within a power cable will have some influence on the performance of the equipment it\u2019s used with. \u00a0Back in 2005 when we produced our first power cable, the <a href=\"https:\/\/chord.co.uk\/product\/chord-power-chord-mains-cable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chord Power Chord<\/a>, we learned that every aspect of the termination mattered. \u00a0The way the internal conductors were routed, the type and the direction of the fuse and strangest of all, the degree of torque applied to the screw that secures the cover of the plug t<a href=\"https:\/\/chord.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/chord-plug-dwg-crop-002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2232\" src=\"https:\/\/chord.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/chord-plug-dwg-crop-002-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"chord-plug-dwg-crop-002\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>o the main body.\u00a0 All of this knowledge was put into the development of the Chord mains plug &#8211; the fuse chosen on the basis of listening tests, the silicone damping spacers experimented with in the demo room and the silver-plating chosen after listening to gold-plated, rhodium-plated and silver-plated prototypes.\u00a0 The same is true for the new <span data-scayt_word=\"IEC\" data-scaytid=\"10\">IEC<\/span> plug. This features sliver-plated contacts, produced from a heavier gauge of material.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, power cables are like interconnects.\u00a0 Pay attention to every aspect of the design and build, and all the things that on their own make small but significant improvements add up and allow us to produce something really special.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of new plugs and a new <span data-scayt_word=\"ARAY\" data-scaytid=\"16\">ARAY<\/span> conductor configuration means that the <a href=\"https:\/\/chord.co.uk\/product\/chord-signature-aray-power-cable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Signature <span data-scayt_word=\"ARAY\" data-scaytid=\"17\">ARAY<\/span> power cable<\/a> has more than a taste of the performance improvements that the <span data-scayt_word=\"Sarum\" data-scaytid=\"18\">Sarum<\/span> power cable is capable of.
