Dragon Cables
Blue Dragon Power Cable
$225.00 USDThe Blue Dragon Power Cable is a natural and neutral-sounding cable with the clarity of the Bronze Dragon at a lower price point. It is a good fit for improving dynamics without adding coloration. The Blue Dragon Power Cable's calm and neutral sound makes it a great place to start with premium cables. The Blue Dragon Power Cable is made up of 3x13.5 AWG PVC-insulated stranded conductors using pure single-crystallized UP-OCC copper with 7N purity 99.99998%. It is an amazing bang for the buck power cable, and our goal with Dragon Audio cables is always to provide the highest quality at a reasonable price.
Quality You Can Trust
Most stock Power Cables are made of small overall gauge conductors that work as a bottleneck for providing the raw power your equipment desires. Poor geometries, no shielding, rubber jackets, and a whole host of other issues with OEM cables can limit your system from performing its best. Of all the cables in your system, the shielding on your power cable is super critical. Power cable shielding is crucial for protecting against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring signal integrity, and preventing damage to the cable and surrounding equipment. Shielding also plays a role in grounding and grounding fault detection. Here are some critical points to note on shielding
- EMI Protection: Shields act as a barrier against external and internal EMI, preventing interference with other cables and devices.
- Signal Integrity: Shielding helps maintain the quality of the signal transmitted through the cable, preventing signal degradation.
- Safety: Shields can help reduce the risk of shock hazards and provide a path for stray currents in case of faults.
- Grounding: Properly grounded shields can help prevent the buildup of static charge and provide a path for leakage current to ground, reducing the risk of shock.
- Mechanical Protection: Shields can also offer some degree of mechanical protection to the cable core, preventing damage from sharp objects or physical stress.
- Return Path: In some applications, the shield can serve as a return path for the signal, improving the overall performance of the system.
Dragon Cables are handcrafted from quality materials in Moon Audio's headquarters in Cary, North Carolina. All of our cables are created with ultra-pure, single-crystal silver and copper strands and engineered to provide the cleanest, most musical presentation. Our wire is void of impurities and crystalline boundaries, leaving nothing between you and your music.
Blue Dragon Sound Signature
The Blue Dragon is designed to be neutral and natural sounding. It improves dynamics without changing the original flavor of the headphone. Look at it as cleaning your eyeglasses, you want the clearest vision possible. The Blue Dragon does just that; it adds more of what the headphone already has but just makes it better. You get to hear more of the micro-dynamics of the music without tipping the sound signature forward or making it laid back.
The Blue Dragon pairs well with all genres, especially music full of stringed instruments. You get a better sense of reverberation and quicker decay of the notes. the piano note decays are quicker almost as if the keys have just had a tune-up. We love this cable with Folk, Americana, Jazz, and singer song writer. Again there is no right or wrong to which Dragon cabl you choose. It is about what is right or your ears.
What is UP-OCC?
UP-OCC stands for Ultra-Pure Ohno Continuous Casting (OCC). This is not a material, but a way of extruding silver and copper to prevent any impurities and fractures in the crystalline structure of the wire. The wire is drawn very slowly to cast as an almost perfect single crystal small-diameter conductor. The resulting purity and the size of the cast wire make a tremendous difference and there is less damage to the near-perfect cast state. We find this UP-OCC process produces a very clean and close to neutral sound in our copper-based and silver-based cables.
