DESCRIPTION
Stage III Concepts was the first audio cable company to use “floating” ribbon conductors for power applications. For the next 20 years, Stage III have continued to experiment, develop and refine their exclusive and highly effective signal/current transmission technologies. This invaluable experience recently culminated in the critically acclaimed A.S.P. KRAKEN power cable. The exceptional performance of the A.S.P. KRAKEN is literally multiplied in this new unique 3-in-1 design.
The A.S.P. LEVIATHAN’s conductor array is like no other in the industry, consisting of 3 completely independent multi-conductor cables, capable of handling an incredible 80A of clean, unrestricted current. This level of engineering has been unprecedented in audio applications.
Extreme mechanical damping in conjunction with impenetrable layers of proprietary shielding and conductor geometry completely eliminate the possibility of any induced microphonics from vibrations or airborne electromagnetic interferences. Among its many sonic attributes (especially when used with amplifiers) expect to hear a perfectly low noise floor, an effortlessness and a relaxed authority that eliminates any compression or strain audible with most other, more restrictive power cable designs. No high-end amplifier on the planet, regardless of size or power requirements, will be impaired or even present a challenge to the A.S.P. LEVIATHAN.
The LEVIATHAN is simply not comparable to any other audio power cables on the market, a totally new category has emerged, a new brass ring of flawless performance that all others will strive for and attempt to emulate. 100% hand made with 100% proprietary elements, and absolutely no commercially produced or “off-the-shelf” components. The ultimate achievement in statement-level audio power delivery.

REVIEWS
Positive Feedback, Marshall Nack, 2015
"Stage III Concepts has done it again. The critical acclaim and consumer acceptance of the Kraken model provided the needed incentive to venture forth where few wire manufacturers dare to tread. The result is a product that multiplies the performance of the Kraken. You have to experience it for yourself. Try to arrange an audition so you can experience what this level of cable engineering can do."
