- Quiet background with low noise floor
- Excellent resolution and detail retrieval
- Fast transient response and dynamic impact
- Strong bass authority and overall realism
The Flagship Series is intended for reference-level high-end audio systems and discerning listeners seeking Audiolund’s most comprehensive power cable performance.
Conductor Cross-Section (per +/- channel):
- 5N OCC Silver: approximately 7.22 mm²
- Duelund Tinned Copper: approximately 7.65 mm²
Flagship Series – Ultra High-End Version
Designed specifically for ultra high-end systems, the Ultra High-End Version further enhances the Flagship architecture by incorporating additional Duelund Silver Foil V1 and Duelund Tinned Copper conductors.
Additional Features
- Adds two Duelund Silver Foil V1 conductors and one additional 16 AWG Duelund Tinned Copper conductor per channel.
- Incorporates 11 solid-core 5N OCC Silver conductors, Duelund Silver Foil V1, and multiple Duelund Tinned Copper conductors in a highly sophisticated multicore construction.
- Employs Audiolund’s most advanced construction techniques for maximum performance potential.
Conductor Cross-Section (per +/- channel):
- 5N OCC Silver: approximately 7.22 mm²
- Duelund Tinned Copper: approximately 8.96 mm²
- Duelund Silver Foil V1: approximately 1.65 mm²
This configuration is designed to deliver the highest achievable performance within the Audiolund power cord range for systems capable of fully revealing its capabilities.
Selecting the Right Series
The five flagship Audiolund series offer distinct sound characteristics:
- Xtreme Series
For listeners who prefer the classic Duelund Western Electric sound signature. - True Silver Series
For listeners seeking the speed, openness, and transparency of pure 5N OCC silver. - Xtreme Silver Series
For those who enjoy the Duelund Western Electric presentation while adding some of the characteristics of pure silver. - Ultimate Silver Series
For listeners who prefer a pure silver presentation while incorporating elements of the classic Duelund sound. - Flagship Series
For listeners seeking an equal balance between the musicality of Duelund tinned copper and the resolution of pure silver conductors.
Recommendation
If you appreciate both the musical warmth of Duelund Western Electric-inspired conductors and the transparency of pure silver, the Flagship Series is the most balanced and comprehensive choice within the Audiolund range.
Due to its extensive use of premium conductors and highly complex multicore construction, the Flagship Series requires significant material investment and assembly expertise. For listeners prioritizing ultimate performance over cost considerations, it represents one of Audiolund’s highest recommendations.

Cable Run-In
Most Audiolund cables utilize complex multi-core conductor architectures and therefore require an extended burn-in period to achieve optimal performance.
The solid-core 5N OCC silver conductors used in the Flagship Series generally require longer run-in times than Duelund’s multi-strand tinned copper conductors.
Recommended Run-In Period
- General Audiolund cables: 100-200 hours
- Flagship Series: 200-400 hours
Actual run-in time may vary depending on system configuration, listening conditions, and usage patterns.
