Plug into unused mains sockets to lower system noise floor significantly. Born from Ansuz’s mission to eliminate mains-borne noise that clouds musical detail. 3rd-gen Sparkz uses advanced noise reduction to deliver cleaner, more open sound while durable Bakelite housing minimizes resonance and protects internal circuitry.

Cables act as antennas for airborne RF noise, distorting the signal. Gold AARC counters this with dual-wound coils that absorb and cancel interference, while segmenting the cable to reduce RF sensitivity.
This generation Sparkz features the advanced circuit with a zirconium rod and silver/gold-layered copper coils, previously exclusive to the D-TC Gold Signature series.
The Sparkz features this advanced circuit with a zirconium rod and silver/gold-layered copper coils, previously exclusive to the D-TC Gold Signature series.
The material properties of this zirconium rod allow for unprecedented resonance control resulting in outstanding musical refinement that creates a natural soundstage, unrivalled in its purity, precision and attention to musical detail.
The Ansuz Sparkz undergo a cryogenic treatment to increase their conductivity. When metal components undergo a cryogenic processing, they are subjected to extreme cooling temperatures of about -321°F (-196° C ). During this process, the crystal structure of the metal contracts more and more. Alloying elements are displaced from the grain structure of the metal, which now becomes very similar to a monocrystal. These structural changes in the metal have profound effects on its audio properties, resulting in a 6-8% increase in conductivity.
Analog dither technology originates in radar, where it ensured a stronger signal and thus greater range. The active Tesla coils send pulsating signals at precisely defined frequencies. These signals are sent in anti-phase. This significantly amplifies the musical signal and eliminates the background noise floor.
Analysis, studies, and many hours of listening, have resulted in new options – and a lot of listening has resulted in this 3rd generation design which is a further optimization of the most effective frequencies which opens the soundscape even more and with the tiniest details when it comes to reproduction of the recordings.
The Ansuz Tesla coil technology is based on two coils wound in opposite directions; one is a regular spiral and the other is its mirrored counterpart. In Ansuz words, the combination of these parts as explained is called a “double-inverted coil”. Both these Tesla coils are voltage carriers, so when one of them encounters a voltage spike, the other activates a counter-surge to cancel the first peak and in effect suppress the noise. Since these noise spikes are pure voltage without a charge, the cancelation effect is quite strong.
Although the fundamentals of the Ansuz Tesla coil technology are the same for its passive and actively powered variants, the latter’s noise suppression efficiency is much greater. Most importantly, active and passive Tesla coils don’t exclude one another. It is the other way around. These devices mutually support each other to keep on lowering noise floor of a product they’re installed into.
