AudioQuest Jaws Power Cable

AudioQuest mains cables have received numerous awards from the specialized press over many years and are highly regarded by High-Fidelity enthusiasts. Their performance and the improvements achieved compared to stock power cords have driven their success.

The AudioQuest Jaws is the successor to the famous Monsoon, forming part of the new generation of mains cables from the American manufacturer's Wind series.

AudioQuest Jaws: Features

This new power cable exclusively utilizes Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors. The Solid Core line and neutral conductors feature a cross-section of 2 x 3.31 mm², while the earth conductor measures 1 x 2.08 mm². This renders it compatible with 16 A currents at 240 V.

While many power cables feature low resistance to meet high current demands, a cable's characteristic impedance is also crucial for delivering optimal performance.

Unlike most cables that restrict or compress a transient, AudioQuest mains cables combine low DC resistance and ZERO characteristic impedance. This allows uncompressed high-current transients to be delivered effortlessly.

The Jaws is equipped with a 4-layer shield, including one layer of graphene. Graphene is an effective conductor across a exceptionally broad frequency range, enhancing shielding at ultra-high frequencies where conventional shielding loses efficiency.

AudioQuest Jaws: Listening Test

Thanks to its cross-section and shielding, this cable can be used across most audio equipment, from source components to amplifiers and preamplifiers.

The effect is most dramatic on an amplifier, where the soundstage noticeably expands in both width and depth. Bass reproduction is also visibly enhanced—gaining clarity, definition, and body. As for the midrange and treble, a veil is lifted! Precision and resolution are remarkable without introducing harshness or imbalance; on the contrary, everything feels more realistic and tangible.

The Monsoon was a resounding success, but the new AudioQuest Jaws delivers superior performance across all registers! Paired with quality components, it truly optimizes them, significantly enhancing the overall musicality and resolution of the system.
