Clarity Cable 

If you want detail without harshness, then the BLACK LIGHTNING power cord is for you. The Clarity Cable Black LIGHTNING is a 12-gauge power cord that has excellent current capacity to accommodate a DVD/CD player, DVD/CD transport, DAC, surround sound processor, home theater receivers, and most amps. The 12-gauge conductor LIGHTNING power cords are not the optimum conductor capacity for the largest amps of over 200 watts, except digital amps. With a more detailed sonic signature, the BLACK LIGHTNING power cord uses the WATTGATE 330i male connector, 12 gauge copper conductors, and a highly elastic, low mass female connector. The grounded shield on the BLACK LIGHTNING is a special 3-layer "wicking" shield that is dramatically more effective than conventional shields at protecting against EMI/RFI. Also this special shield "energizes" the upper frequencies, similar to the way Clarity Cable's own ($2000) CYCLONE power cord does, to create a highly defined, spatial, and 3-D sonic experience. We encourage you to try the Black Lightning power cord before spending much more on better known, but lesser performing power cords. We stand behind our product with a 30 day money back guarantee.

The 12 Gauge RED LIGHTNING power cord is the warmer of all LIGHTNING power cords. We suggest using the RED LIGHTNING power on your digital transport, player, or DAC, if you are trying to get a warmer smoother, less harsh sound. The Red Lightning power cord has been tested to be uniquely compatible with the latest digital amps, and will give digital amps a more organic, nuanced, emotional presentation. The warmer RED LIGHTNING power cord uses a soldered male connector for maximum conductivity, 12 gauge copper conductors, and a highly elastic, low mass female connector. The grounded shield on the RED LIGHTNING is a special 5-layer "wicking" shield that is 2 more shielding layers than the more detailed BLACK LIGHTNING power cord. So...how does the warmer RED LIGHTNING power sound in comparison to its more detailed brother? The warmer RED LIGHTNING has less high frequency emphasis than the more detailed BLACK LIGHTNING. However, with its additional 2 layers of shielding, it has EVEN more midrange, and lower frequency definition than the more detailed BLACK LIGHTNING cord. In that regard, the warmer RED LIGHTNING power cord is very unique in its ability to give more vocal, mid, and bass definition, while taming the upper frequencies that in many systems are too bright or too hard sounding.

Better timing makes better music. The White Lightning Power Cord was developed during ZCable's extensive testing of CD re- clocking. ZCable's research showed that cables had a significant influence on the accurate timing of CD re-clocking and also CD playback. ZCable tested many different wiring, Male audio connectors, and Audio-grade solders during the White Lightning's development. We determined that each of these factors had an influence, and more importantly when used in the proper combination, large improvements were made in harmonics, openness, spatiality, pace, detail, and nuance. We were very surprised at how many power cords "Hurt" timing, and therefore musical performance sounded harsh, smeared, irritating, or distorted. One of the factors that contributed to excellent performance of the White Lightning power was the "hand-soldering" of the male connector. As you know, it is very rare to find a power cord at any price, which has the connector hand-soldered. It is particularly unbelievable to find this in a $150 power cord. This feature adds to the quality of the connection of the connector blades to the power cord's conductors, eliminates the possibility of future loosening of the conductor to blade contact, it reduces the possibility of future oxidation between the blade and conductors, and increase the surface area of conductivity between the male connector blades and the power cord's conductors.

The Clarity Cable VORTEX power cord is very high current, and VERY neutral. The VORTEX simply allows the most to emerge from your audio system components, without introducing its own audio signature. The VORTEX was originally designed for power conditioners, but it was soon discovered that using it on other components gave an effortless, natural ease to the music. The VORTEX's conductors, connectors, and design were all voiced to be extremely neutral.
