AS THE CHEAPER of two new
power cables from this respected
Japanese specialist, the Roxy is an
expensive-looking product with a
mains plug that is beautifully built
and finished – something that won’t
come as a complete surprise to fans
of the brand. It hasn’t scrimped on
the cable either; this has a 37-strand
silver-plated OFC conductor for live,
neutral and earth, and each has a
five-layer dielectric. The conductors
are enclosed by a polyethylene
dielectric, and all three are wrapped
in a cotton inner filler, with a paper
barrier layer, an outer sheath in
lead-free PVC and finally a tough,
nylon yarn braid outer sleeve.
