Maybe not products in the truest sense, given that they are only available attached to the flagship Extreme Edition power cords for now (OEM use is in the future), but Argento showed some striking new AC connectors.

Their cylindrical bodies and noses are constructed from low-dielectric PEEK, with fixings in glass-impregnated polyethylene. They are available in Schuko and US, 15A and 20A IEC versions, and all conductive parts are machined from solid silver, with the female contacts spring-reinforced with bronze leaves. Clamping screws are titanium and the outer sleeve is machined from carbon-impregnated POM. These are among the most interesting AC connectors we’ve seen and they should make a serious contribution to the performance of the Extreme Edition cables.
