for the eXpressâ„¢ Power AC Enhancing cable

This is a continuation of the following review...

I also tried a 2M run of the eXpressâ„¢ Power AC Enhancing cable which sells for $299.95. The eXpressâ„¢ Power AC enhancing cable incorporates newly discovered fractal resonance control technology that provides a cleaner AC load to the power supplies of components. There is a bulbous attachment that resides between the power plug and IEC plug that contains an aluminum body covered in a plastic shell. While this sounds fancy and looks rather strange, how does this technology sound? I can sum up my experience with the AC cable in one word â€“ INCREDIBLE! Plugging this cable into my CD transport resulted in a haze or film being removed from the sound. As good as the interconnects worked, the AC cable was even better! The difference the eXpress power cable made was amazing as it replaced a top of the line Onix Statement power cord costing over 2Xs the price of the Eichmann and I still experienced a marked improvement in sound. The one thing that the Eichmann PC does so well is that it doesnâ€™t restrain or restrict sound as some of the heavily shielded PCs that I have tried do. Vocals were full and natural. Rim shots, high hats and triangles had a natural shimmer to them giving the sense of unbelievable air, transparency, focus and detail. Bass had great weight and authority with superior clarity and definition. Unfortunately, I only have one of the PCs. I imagine similar improvements in my system can be realized by running another eXpressâ„¢ AC cable to the preamp and another 2 PCs to my monoblock amplifiers. Again, I highly recommend giving this excellent product a try. For more info on the Eichmann eXpressâ„¢ Power AC Enhancing cable, go to http://www.eichmanncables.com/ac_enhancer/index.html .
