OrKa PowerFlux Refernce Power Cable
Guaranteed to get smoother highs, fuller and fleshier Mids and weightier bass this budget cable is an absolute steal for the price.
Experience improved clarity with a more expansive soundstage bringing out the best in your equipment’s presentation.
With an outer diameter of 12 mm this is a double jacketed cable that use a pure copper braided ( and tinned ) shield that provides excellent rejection of RF and EM signals .The secondary shield is an aluminium foil which gives the cable best rf emi rejection properties. The shield has two important functions:
- It keeps powerline noise from radiating outwards onto your close by equipment and interconnects.
- It keeps external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference from entering the AC line
The pure copper heavy cores provide absolutely clean instantaneous power with a totally noise free background .The Quietness can be heard immediately
The line and neutral cores consist of strands of 0.22mm thin OFC neglex copper for a very low resistance and offers dynamism and a very sweet tone to the presentation.
(The cable’s loop current series resistance is therefore a very low 0.02 Ohm per meter run. )
The Barracuda is an excellent place to start when considering upgrading your mains cables and we believe it can bring discernible improvements to any level of system – from a mini-system to high-end components.
Its lower cost means that you can upgrade more components which brings an even bigger improvement through their ‘cumulative’ effect – in fact, it’s better to upgrade more components with this level of cable than to upgrade one component with a much much more expensive model
Keeping in mind the fact that a top base cable needs the best connectors to perform at the highest levels we have used the best quality gold plated copper plugs ( USA 3 pin and IEC ) we could source from a reputable manufacturer in Japan.
Introduce the barracuda into your system chain and Experience improved clarity with a more expansive soundstage bringing out the best in your equipment’s presentation.

How does it sound ?
This cable simply shines with its dynamic capability and rhythm. If you are the kind of kinesthetic listener who plays their music loud and cannot help tapping your feet and nodding your head, or worse, getting up and dancing to it, the Orca is for you!
The sound with the Orca will immediately attract your attention and impress you like say an Amitabh Bachchan would with his performance. It projects the sound closer to the listener and has more airy treble. It also does better with rhythm and timing, leading to the subconscious foot tapping.
Comparsion
“The OrKa feels like listening to live stage performance while the Mysteceti feels more like well recorded studio performance
The OrKa is like a 25 year old dynamic youth. Mysteceti is like a 45 year old mature person.
So while the former is impressive like say Amitabh Bachchan, who captures your attention, the latter one on the other hand is immersive like say Amol Palekar or Sanjeev Kumar”
After considerable amounts of trials , legwork and research, we are now confident of offering a line of power distribution products to fellow audiophiles that we are personally proud of.
We have tried to remain loyal to physics, trials and lastly our own ears rather than falling prey to marketing and ambiguous claims.
It is important to understand that the main criterion here is, supplying “clean” and efficient power to our electronics without having a smudging or clouding effect.
Here in India, we face a two pronged problem
First – since we are a price sensitive market there is no Indian manufacturer that produces good quality IECs or plugs. Most use steel and zinc alloys that are rhodium plated and some use brass contact points ( L&T Havells Northwest to name a few).There is no manufacturer that uses pure copper. Real Gold/Silver plating is only a dream.
(P.S This is the reason we were forced to use US plugs.)
The other issue we face is that of “dirty” power.
Most of our power mains come tapped from various stations, sub stations; fuse boxes etc having below par connectors with no RF or EMI control. This is a cause for concern. It is this “dirty” power that muddies the sound of a system
There is in fact NO power cable that can CLEAN that – however a good power cable will suppress that dirt without loosing efficiency. Stray magnetic fields, electromagnetic interference, signal and loop pickups all need to be taken care of.
This is achieved by correct weaving of the copper conductors and using particular grain geometries combined with excellent shielding.
