IeGO Dreamworks is a manufacturer of audiophile-grade cables and connectors, and produces some of the best connectors available – regardless of price. Based in Taiwan and in business since 2000, leGO manufactures parts for many of the worlds top cable companies.
One of their best products is a pure silver IEC connector, because of the unparalleled high purity, and for a price that others charge for silver or rhodium plated connectors.
IeGo products are manufactured in-house, they use Furukawa copper as the base material for all of their copper based connectors unlike many competitors, who use phosphor bronze and brass, which is not as good a conductor as pure copper. The 99,99% pure Japanese “prime grade red copper” is acid-bathed to remove impurities and the entire connector is deep cryogenically treated at -240°C for 20 hours to relieve internal stresses within the material, which also improves conductivity and hardness of the material, so the contacts are not bent. The IeGo IEC plug is made from pure Furukawa copper with a silver plating. The housing is a special PVC manufactured in Japan by General.

Michael –
I have used a mix of Furutech, Viborg and IeGO plugs and the IeGO are just simply the best. They have a very revealing, punchy and silky smooth sound the others just can’t achieve. Used with IeGO Schuko connectors and silver over OP-UCC copper power cables.
Beware the strength of the contacts however. I have damaged the male IEC pins on my amp due to the grip force on these plugs being so strong.
