As of May 2026, Rick Schultz Audio’s Emersion power cord is the best sounding A/C cable that I’ve ever heard. No other power cord currently exists that cleanly beats the sound quality of RSA’s beast. Not surprisingly, the Emersion isn’t cheap. You want the best? Well… the best doesn’t come cheap.

And yet, if the Emersion PC was being sold through retail outlets, it would likely sport a price tag of $33,000 or $35,000 US dollars. Thankfully, it doesn’t. By selling direct to the audiophile public and eliminating all of the elements within the retail distribution chain, an Emersion power cord can be had for 1/3^rd of that cost. Priced at $11,000 USD, the Emersion is not only an end-game A/C cable, it’s also (by audiophile standards) a stone-cold bargain.

Stated succinctly, nothing cleanly beats the sound quality of the Emersion PC – nothing. In 15+ years of writing professional audio reviews, this is the only A/C power cord that I’ve ever accredited with offering a component level improvement in sound quality. And by “component level”, I mean Aeris Cerat or CH Precision level. Germane to this, I bought the review sample. And, as my budget permits further down the audiophile autobahn, I will be buying a few more of these breathtaking power cables. Highly recommended!
