At VooDoo Cable, it’s about the music – first and foremost.

Bach, Beethoven, Coltrane and Hendrix all pass through our cables. And that’s a responsibility we take very seriously. Our job is to design and build cable that provides our customers with the highest level of audible performance from their high-end audio system.

Introducing VooDoo Cable

VooDoo Cable is not made from bulk wire that has been extruded, spooled and printed by a cable fabricator somewhere in Asia. VooDoo Cable is handcrafted to the customer’s specified length and termination from raw materials at our factory in Oakland, California. We use the highest purity conductive alloys, copper and silver, plus our own proprietary Cryo-Alloy™ metallurgy to achieve the unique sonic performance of VooDoo Cable.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can I keep my AC power cord from falling out of the wall outlet socket?

Usually, the problem isn’t the power cord. Rather, the wall outlet is not properly installed. Install the outlet with the ground contact on top at the 12 o’clock position, so the ground pin of the AC plug will firmly hold the weight of the power cord and not pull out of the socket. The National Electrical Code stipulates that in hospitals and factories AC outlets must be installed with the ground contact on top for this reason. So it’s odd that household electrical wall sockets are usually installed upside down. And no electrician we’ve asked has ever been able to explain why.

Why are VooDoo power cords thicker than other audio power cords?

There are some cable manufacturers who tell their customers that a thick, heavy gauge power cord is unnecessary. And some cable manufacturers even espouse that an audio-grade power cord should not have any effect on the sound of a component. How strange! At VooDoo Cable, our priority is to design and build power cords with the best sonic performance possible at that price point. We believe the power cord is the foundation of the cable network in any system.

Power cord design is a complex balance of conductor line capacitance and inductance using all the dielectric materials and conductor alloys available to achieve the desired dynamic control and tonal balance. Most importantly, a well designed audio-grade power cord should act as a filter to suppress unwanted line noise without constricting the flow of AC to the component. The larger gauge conductor will provide ample amount of line capacitance to the component, which allows the transformer inside the component to operate efficiently and quietly, without interference from eddy currents, and other forms of line noise. When plugged into a high-current power amplifier, a well-designed power cord will allow the transformer to operate at a cooler temperature. Over the years, we have heard from many customers who told us their amps seem to run cooler after they upgraded to one of our power cords.

Some high-end cable manufacturers make skinny light gauge power cords, while others make thick heavier gauge power cords. Some high-end cable manufacturers use copper braid shielding to protect the conductors from EMI and RFI, while others don’t. Some high-end cable manufacturers use thicker dielectric insulation that is matched to the charge of the conductor winding, and others don’t. Some high-end cable manufacturers use the minimum cable construction to lower the profile and manufacturing cost of the power cord, while others use a beefier cable construction to maximize the sonic performance of the power cord. These design specs and dielectric materials add to the size and thickness of the power cord. Take a look at the profile of premium, high-performance power cords from the best cable companies, and you will see that thick power cord design trumps thin power cord design when high-end audio performance is the goal.

Will the power adapters affect the sound of my component?

VooDoo Cable IEC and AC power adapters are completely transparent. There is no ‘loss’ or phase shift. There is no audible or measurable change in the current or sound of the component. The IEC adapters may be used with any 120 or 240 volt component. The IEC standard is universal for all international AC power designations. AC power adapters are recommended for 120 volt systems, or with 240 volt systems at the user’s discretion. Please check your local electrical code for regulations.

For which component(s) should I buy power cords?

Source components that have an IEC connection will benefit immediately from powercords. Start with the CD/DVD player, or the digital-to-analog processor (DAC). Then add powercords to the pre-amp and amplifier(s). If your source components do not have an IEC connection, use power cords on your pre-amp and amplifier(s). A few better-quality receivers require IEC power cords and will audibly benefit from the use of VooDoo Powercords. Powercords will also enhance the transparency of electrostatic speakers and provide more accurate bass response from powered subwoofers.

Why do I need audiophile AC power cords for my audio and video system?

Do VooDoo Cables require break-in time?

100 hours is the conventional break-in period for most new audio and video cable. But due to the benefits of our cold fusion cryogenic treatment for all VooDoo Cables, the break-in period will be much shorter. Customers often dread the break-in period. In fact, the break-in period with VooDoo Cable is not an unpleasant experience. Even during the initial break-in period, with VooDoo Cable you will immediately hear a palpable improvement in the sonic quality of your system.
