Absolue Créations Amboise

The Absolue Créations Amboise mains cable is designed to power high-end audio electronics. It connects between the wall socket and a hi-fi component, amplifier, player, DAC or other source, to ensure its electrical supply under good conditions.

Its construction relies on a multi-strand tinned copper conductor of 2.5 mm², a generous cross-section designed to limit losses and provide a stable current to the most demanding electronics. The core insulation combines PVC and polyamide, two materials chosen for their mechanical durability and stability over time. At each end, the cable is fitted with 24-carat gold-plated Furutech FI-11 connectors, well regarded for the quality of their electrical contact.

This type of cable is intended for hi-fi enthusiasts who wish to take care of the entire power supply chain of their system, beyond the components alone. It is particularly relevant for configurations where the connected electronics are sensitive to variations or disturbances present on the mains.

When buying used, it is worth examining the condition of the Furutech connectors at each end, in particular the quality of the contact and the absence of play or visible oxidation on the gold-plated pins. It is also useful to check the flexibility of the cable and the integrity of its PVC-Polyamide insulating sheath, which may stiffen or crack over time depending on storage conditions.

The length of the cable is a point to check before purchase, as this model was offered new in several lengths, from 1 m to 2.8 m, with the possibility of additional 30 cm increments.
