for the Power Cord Flavor #1
Well I finally built one. It is a simple canble to make. Cut to length, strip, counterwind ground, techflex, heatshrink, connect end, listen. And what a difference. It replaced the moulded cheap PC on my Classe 15. The Classe is what i refer to as a Big Ass Amp. Like the Krells, and MLs it has a huge unnatural sound, with exaturated extremes. Well at least it used to be like that. This cable tamed the beast, and it sounds quite polite, it is no SET by any means, but man, what a difference. The low end impact went from a just impressive slam, to life like tunefull, and punchy. The kick drums move air and the standing base grew 4 inches taller. Very pleasant transformation indeed. The high end grain and sizzle is gone and all the singers took two steps back. Cannot wait to make a set for the CD player and sundry junk.dee
;-D
Product Weakness: Since it is a DIY cable you have to make it, but no soldering required :-) Product Strengths: Easy to make, and good value. Very good sound.
