Have not heard any difference compared with the 'old' factory supplied power cord! (then again I do suffer from tinnitus).

No cure yet, but it was recommended that I 'upgrade' all the power cables in my system to really open that soundstage! Trouble is the power for turntable and TT pre-amp are on wall warts, got to search for 'high-end' wall warts! I guess if the electricity can get to the components a tenth of a millisecond sooner it's a major improvement. Reactions: ryanosaur

"This cable uses a carefully finessed combination of Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and extremely high purity Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors. The astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers. Extremely high-purity PSC+ further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metal conductor." Wow. Gotta watch those 'grain boundaries'.

BluesDaddy Audioholic Intern Sep 17, 2004 32 0 8 70 South Metro Atlanta May 2, 2021 #156 The real "partnership" is between the accountants and partners at PS Audio and Audioquest who both derive sales revenue from the other pushing their product. The margin in cables is so high that it seems only the businessman of the highest ethics can resist chasing those practically free dollars. It's just about a license to print money.
