Meet the Quasar​

A truly geometrically balanced cable, designed for the starter audiophile.

Explore​

Quasar is the power cable for those starting out on their journey into the exploration of the impact of mains upon their audio systems.

It is a truly geometrically balanced cable, designed for the starter audiophile.

The Quasar has no shielding to reduce the capacitors designed for high powered amplifiers.

Discover​

The Quasar brings elements of design from its big brother, the SupaQuasar.

It boasts iFi’s Ground Zero Design to create a central core free of any magnetic field. Combined with the shotgun ground, non-twisting and constant impedance, the Quasar achieves maximum protection from any magnetic field, and has nil induction voltage. This result is vastly reduced system noise.

The Quasar power cable is built with pure copper for excellent conductivity, impact resistant polymer casing for increased durability, and gold-plated pure copper connections for the best transmission possible.

All in all, the Quasar offers an exceptional sonic performance to price ratio. It is the perfect power cable for you as you build a most discerning but affordable system.

Enjoy​

• Heavy OFHC continuous cast copper
• Polymer casing for lasting durability for excellent conductivity
• Concurrent shield for each power line for minimization of internal and external RFI noise
• Polymer matrix is unaffected by moisture, amorphous, dimensional accuracy, low dielectric constant
• Air-dielectric delineator, best separation between balanced pairs of live and neutral
• Shotgun ground line non-twisting design significantly reduces ground loop noise

Hello. Me again.

Could you please explain the below picture a bit better please.

I don't understand why the magnetic fields are bulging outwards and not symmetrical around the line cables? To the best of my knowledge, the magnectic fields created by a current is normally symmetrical. Why are the ones in this cable are not?

i guess u can refer to this, where the current directions on the 4 cables match with this design, so the resultant magnetic field bend this way.

@iFi audio the marketing materials here state that "The Quasar has no shielding to reduce the capacitors designed for high powered amplifiers." That seems like a translation failure or something like that, I believe the correct phrasing would be "to reduce capacitance". You may want to have that fixed.

I have a question as well. The cable's insulation/casing is said to be of a thermoplastic polymer matrix. However, this is unfortunately roughly as informative as if it was stated that the cable's conductor was made out of metal. There are several kinds of different thermoplastic polymers and their electrical insulation properties can be quite different.

It is correctly stated that the cable's conductor is made of copper, so why not also specify the type polymer material used - is this information available somewhere?

Thanks for your post, and question, I honestly have none of that information handy, and while I inquire myself it would be a good idea to reach out to support to ask this question as well, they may be able to answer it quicker than I.
