»Balanced 3D sound image with exceptional dynamics and speed«
WAY Cables’ flagship power cable, CORE, is a true gem for uncompromised audiophiles because of its innovative design, All-Silver conductors and connectors, unique outlook, and exceptional sound features.
Although it was initially conceived for ultimate amplifiers, comprehensive listening tests confirmed that CORE to all kinds of audio equipment, without exceptions, lets an infusion of electrical power on the way they need to open their maximal sonic and emotional potential in the reproduction of music.
CORE provides audio electronics with new and life-like energy, opening up monumental music stage with a stunning new sound density level and exceptional tonal balance in the entire audio spectrum. It will not add or hide anything but will bring clarity and reality to the sound image.
Here are some highlights of the implemented Unique Xtreme Damping System design solution / UXD4.1-WAY™ and the spectacular specifications the CORE power cord carries:
– Multi-core conductors from Single Crystal 5N Silver for Line, Neutral and Grounding / MLT-WAY™;
– 5N Pure Silver (Long Crystal, 24K Rhodium-plated) power connectors with 4N Silver-plated grounding and anodized aluminum housing for damping and RFI/EMI protection, customized by WAY Cables / CUST3-WAY™;
– Multi-layer conductors insulation from Pure Cotton with 1.3 Dielectric Constant sheathed with a layer of soft and breathable yet waterproof PTFE compound / COTEF-WAY™;
– Separated Pure Copper braid shieldings for grounding and the total cable;
– Outer finish from thick Pure Cotton overbraided with white glass fibers that dissipate micro-vibrations on the cable surface / COTFIB-WAY™;
– Two artisans need three days to handmade one CORE power cable in standard lengths.

SUBSTANCE+ power cable rewards the system with crystal sound on a beautiful music stage, fantastic instrument separation, and natural sound.
SUBSTANCE+ power cable is a reliable partner that substantially helps capable amplifiers and music sources articulate a balanced 3D sound image with excellent dynamics and speed. Its main features are:
– transparency and attack in the bottom range,
– smooth and sensual mid-spectrum,
– live, detailed, and airy high frequencies.
The listener can feel the rich texture and recognize the different materials of instruments (wood, brass, drum skin, plastic and metal strings, etc.) even in complex music compositions.
SUBSTANCE+ consists of Multi-core hybrid conductors by combining 5N Single Crystal Silver and 6N Single Crystal Copper / HYB-WAY™ manually insulated by Pure Cotton with 1.3 Dielectric Constant sheathed with Breathable and Waterproof PTFE compound / COTEF-WAY™. It also has separate shielding for grounding and the total cable according to the Unique Xtreme Damping System design solution / UXD4-WAY™.
SUBSTANCE+ has 4N Silver-plated Pure Copper power connectors with 4N Silver-plated grounding and anodized aluminum housing for damping and RFI/EMI protection, customized by WAY Cables / CUST2-WAY™.
Japanese experts from renowned Stereo Sound Publishing Inc. gave the GRAND PRIX 2019 to SUBSTANCE+ at the International Audio Show held under their competence in Shanghai. It also got the SIAV 2019 AWARD – Pick Of The Show.
