Chinese power cable: wow!

I've just received this cable I bought on AliExpress. It's destined to go on my preamp but I need first to install an IEC receptacle on said preamp ^^

Anyways I was eager to try it as the users reviews are all stellar so I installed it on the linear PSU that feeds the Trends amp driving mids and high horns in my multi amped system (500Hz to 20KHz range).

Truth be told I was not expecting much effect on that position since I couldn't detect much when I swapped the stock cable for a DIY Viborg cable a year ago... but DAMN! I was wrong! Turns out, the DIY cable is probably lacking, but this Audiomeca (pity they're using a brand name that mimics a now deceased French high end brand...) cable is immediately hearable.

The minute I put it in the system, without any break-in, I could hear darker backgrounds, higher intelligibility of voices and "mouth noises" (lips, saliva, microphone effects), more delineation of sources, more contrast. And there's no need to be a golden ear to hear it!

Now I was wondering, as each conductor is shielded + another shield around everything, I was fearing some reduction of dynamics but, in that position at least, I don't hear such.

So far I haven't heard any negative effect of the cable.

I don't have much experience with power cables yet but this thing is insanely well built, sounds great, and is certainly cheap enough to try!
