Hi kids,
Which just reading through several Part-Time-Audiophile older reviews | I came across some SCs | PCs which looked very very similar to what a few of us have actually been taking about of late, do share your opinions on said matters:
https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/core-power-deep-core/
As well as:
http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/core-power-technologies-deepcore-1800
To me it shows not only are common folks coming around to discovering Asian made cabling | cords and what have you, but as I've known since the mid 80s, plenty of wires were being sourced from Asian | elsewhere..., yet as an avid reader of sites like High-Fidelity | HiFi Knight | Sound Rebels | Mono & Stereo | Sound Advice, many of the most creative cabling brands are actually coming out of Poland.
Me myself I love the whole concept of global marketing, if for no other reason to make others look within | step up their game, not all cables have to cost six to seven figures to be deemed worthy.
And not to be seen as a hater | in so much as someone whom believes in doing his research | what's your take on the cost? ( I didn't spot any copyright laws, so felt I'd borrow this ad ):

Maybe it's me?, but something seems off.

I'm a bit off topic here, but there's an interesting episode of Jay's Audio Lab on YouTube that deals with Chinese Nordost knock-offs. Apparently one of his customers tried to pass off a Chinese Nordost Odin PC as the real thing. In this case, the customer was expecting roughly a $4K credit toward the purchase of a new piece of equipment. Of course everything collapsed rather quickly when it was discovered the PC was simply an $80 knockoff of the real thing. This is where Jay starts his lecture on the "dangers" of Chinese knock-offs. Of course he adds that the knock-offs don't sound as good as the real Odin PC.(at the absolutely ridiculous list price of roughly $14K) Yet there was no indication he did an extensive listening test to compare. At least not that I could tell. My only real take away is I'm beginning to wonder if these purveyors of the uber hi-end are starting to feel threatened by products that may compete (at least to a degree)at a price points 10X-100X times less in most cases. And of course I realize we're dealing with two entirely different hobbyists with vastly different bank accounts. So there will always be a handful that won't bat an eye in regard to a $14K power cord.
M,
I don't see this as being off topic at all. As it relates to our fondness of said Chinese knockoff power cords is quite relevant to the cause. And while I personally don't like Jay's attitude towards imported speakers | think American made one's are the only ones worth pursuing, rubs me the wrong way | on top of that I see him as someone uncertain of his ultra high end ( much costlier ) purchases, in many ways like the average Joe, why in the hell would I need a dealer or consultant of his means telling me what I need to buy, when it's obvious he merely throws funds at big ticketed brands with his fingers crossed | comes away on YouTube admitting he made a mistake.
Maybe it's me?, but I have far safer dealing with the guys that run shops like Pitch Perfect | Don Better Audio | In Living Stereo, hell even Kevin Deal is a straight shooter that's honest about his products | of which I can respect compared to someone of means having the nerves to ask his viewers for funds as pantheons, to which o find to be a joke, if it cost that much to share one's videos?, shit you might wish to stop, because as I do the math, he has 16.3k subscribers, even at $1 per subscriber per month, one can easily pay their mortgage | car notes | utility bills and have change left over from said donations, this merely comes across as big pimping in our hood.
As for the customer trying to trade his NEARdost as real ones, I believe his name should be shown publicly at best. And as stated I caught that shit about " it's people like you causing American dealer to close their doors, due to lost sales " obviously this was from a dealer, but as I see it having worked during my youth as an audio hardware buyer, whom has traveled the globe seeking out interesting pieces of gear for our shops rather selective clients, I'm well aware of distributor | dealer markups and import fees, in my mind it's greed that's killing off many of these dealers, as well as their demeanor towards responding as if someone pulling up to their shop(s) in a less than $90.000.00 car isn't worth acknowledging upon entering their place, the whole snob think doesn't rub me as well as a down to earth dealer that goes out of their way to treat anyone as they deserve, human which is all anyone should except as they need us, and not the other way around, thanks to sites like HiFi Shark, all but electronics ( due to voltage requirements ), even foreign power cords, can have their plugs replaced, anything audio related can be purchased from around the globe at a faction of retail.
In my mind it's greed that's causing them to lose business | not one's willingness to seek out bargains or shop Chinese.
Weird thing is, my wife Michelle asked me if I had $300.000.00 to spend on a system what would I buy?, looking to pursue either an integrated amp or pair of speakers of which I know I'd live happily with until the Creator called me home | buy one or the other first | then match them to the ideal amp or speaker depending upon which route I go with first?.
My dream amps are one or the other as stated here..., tube based it'd be the Kondo | Audio Note Japan - Overture Integrated Amp ( $33.000 or thereabouts ) or Dan D'Agostino Momentum Integrated Amp ( Silver | $34.000 )..., speaker wise while I'm a mini-monitor type of guy by choice, for the Overture, I'd go with a pair of Audio Note Model Ks ( finished in high gloss Apple ) |as for speakers to use with the Momentum Integrated Amp, I'd happily go outside of my known options and here go with a pair of Magico S3s ( finished in burgundy ) | source wise, I'd be content with either an Aurender N150 ( black ) | Denafrips Venus ll ( silver ) | cabling loom Driade IC's | SC's with Gigawatt PCs | Fidata HFU2 USB Cable, which combined is well under said pricing as per the wife's well wishes, so it seems I'm more included to spend the remaining balance on a few select Italian pieces of furniture spread about our home, as I've always been one whom believes in coming home to a peaceful | lovely to behold place to be shared with loved ones | others, as no one is allowed to sit on my speakers, spending $5.000-$7.500 on a very very comfortable leather sofa is more than welcomed.
As always, let me keep my long winded shite in check.
'Nuff said.

Hi Oscar!
I have a couple of those. In my system, I prefer the various Odin cords, but they are quite good indeed and an absolute steal at the price. Build quality is stunning.
Having just come back from reading upon the latest power cords discoveries on Head-Fi.org..., it seems many are finding the Odin cords are being bettered by said Accuphase 40th Anniversary | Valhalla 15 Core thingy | Monosaudio P902 cords.
And while I once again hate to shite on domestic designs, once again how many are in fact made here in the USA as opposed to being outsourced and dressed up?, once again I'm not the type like many of my Chinese buddies that go about opening up components for the sake of analyzing the passive components | thinking they can build said item better, which is why I've noticed in the past certain Americans companies weren't looking to ship their wares to certain Asian countries | as it's a known fact they're extremely good at reverse engineering most of this stuff.
Yet it strikes me as weird that the real NordOst Odin Gold line of cables were introduced at a Hong Kong Audio Show, as opposed to here | this tells me that the actual company realizes they've do in fact have a huge Asian following, the rest of the story on how said NeardOst Chinese makes came to be?. I can only speak for myself here..., but bases upon the domestically built cords I've owned between 2001-2022, I've to look at what's in my own system | can easily spot 4 Chinese designs, whereas those older American ( supposedly ) built IC's | USB | Speaker Cables have been sold.
Global exceptions at its best | call me unpatriotic at best | but the times are in fact a changing, but in truth it stated decades ago, so by me being the avid researcher I'm, don't hate me for choosing with my brain | heart | wallet in selecting items to which I clearly have come to love based upon listening above all else.
As the old adage goes " Don't shoot the messenger ". But in truth..., I do trust in my own abilities to know what I hear | judge things accordingly.
All one has to do as a reality check of sort is, ask themselves just how many domestically power cords do you see priced between $40-$60?. Therein lies the truth as it should be weighed.

Hi Oscar!

KanedaK,
Do allow me to rephrase things, as I'm thinking along the lines that in my case I've concentrated all of my energy on finding an indeed power cord solely for my older model Aurender X100L music server which in turn is tied to a Denafrips Pontus ll DAC..., so essentially of which can be viewed at a server based system costing $5.800 retail.
In said case of my rethinking the difference of both the NearEast Odin types | Accuphase 40th Anniversary clones, I'm seriously thinking it's due to the latter being shielded, whereas the Odin types aren't. As a very very strong believer that everything evolves from one's source component..., be that one's phono-stage preamp | DAC ( as both are linked to one's Turntable | CD Player | Computer Audio Player or what have you? ) so the music signal is passed downstream to the amplification | speakers, of which neither is capable to restoring the signal beforehand | so if one's source is corrupted?, one is forced to ask themselves..., just are they actually hearing?, or basing their opinions on?.
With either Odin type PCs, I found myself buying multiple flavors of power plugs, like un-plated red copper | silver and rhodium plated copper ones, figuring out how to mix them onto these power cords to create a sound of my own, whereas with the Accuphase one, I began enjoying it off the bat | seem to love what I'm hearing enough to not be overly concerned with changing the stock power connectors whatsoever | or at least no time soon, such was the impact in my system, whereas said primary integrated amp ( Naim Audio SuperNait 3 ) | speakers ( Rosso Florentino Pienza 2s | Sound Anchors 3 Post Signature Stands ) are also valued at $5.800 respectively, and resolving enough whereas I just don't question what I'm hearing, and have learned to enjoy the entire system collectively.
While there's an ongoing argument as it related to shielded versus unshielded cables | cords, as one allows for better transient response, but can allow for noises to come through | whereas the former can at times sound dulled down | offsetting | yet can at times prove more effective on a particular component more so than not.
Looking at said marketing of Underwood HiFi, I'd have to once again appreciate the fact they were honest about having outsourced these cords from China | yet thinking they'd have just as easily chosen the NearDost Odin design, just maybe they were in fact looking for something which might actually fit a boarded range of buyers | ears ( so they selected this brand or range for a reason ), as I've long seen it, no one brand of cabling fits all, which is why there are more cable designs on the market more so than any other component | yes I see them as components rather than accessories, if one were to try playing their electronics without cabling, guess what the result would be?, no sound at all..., so logically selecting the correctly balanced cabling for one's respective system | ear is essentially based upon one's biases as well as overall preference as far as their personal taste towards different flavoring goes, me myself loved spicy foods | tabasco sauce on just about everything, especially Mexico food | eggs, whereas someone of a different culture might think otherwise.
Apples | Oranges, but as mentioned years ago, I'm the odd man out, as I much prefer cherries to both.

The Odin cables are shielded, the gold or silver foil depending on which iteration is wrapped around each conductor is the actual shielding.
Mmmh... have you tried running an unbalanced interconnect cable (let's say, the one that goes from preamp to power amp) close to a Chinese Odin Gold PC? Well, if the IC isn't very well shielded it will buzz. It doesn't buzz with this "accuphase" (LOL) power cable but, as I said earlier, I still prefer the sound of the Odin Gold in MY system. YMMV, of course.
I'm willing to take your word into account, yet have noticed many of the guys over on Head-Fi having taken theirs apart | stating they weren't.
Being that I'm not one to butcher cables | cords, I'm merely playing this one by ear..., but based upon what I'm listening to at this very moment with the Accuphase cord in place, to my ears it's simply more musically correct | whereas with the Odin type I was thinking this is how I'd have to imagine the stock Aurender cord might've sounded, had I not tossed it upon opening the box.
Hey Lil' Brotha,
There are times where one's system plays better with pure copper cables | cords and others where pure silver or silver plated copper based wires better fit, as well as brings out what's needed.
Seeing as how we all select our systems differently based upon set biases as well as budgets | there are times where some components aren't as resolving as others | therefore the overall nature of some brands aren't fully recognized as such, as spotted on several forums some have found alternatives to the Chinese NordOst based cables | whereas I myself initially ended up having purchased a total of 12 of them | I currently count 3 as of yesterday. It became clear ( in my case ) that a certain means of voicing each component means listening to them | then understanding what each one is telling us it prefers?, in my case having tried both the Odin 2 Silver | Odin Gold PCs on the Aurender where they both played nicely..., but and there's always one, upon placing said Accuphase clone onto it out of curiosity | and it was as if all of a sudden the clouds parted | I'd now not only view the stars more clearly, but it became more a matter of I'd actually reach out and touch them ( much like having experienced this type of effect while visiting Orlando Florida for the first time back in October 2008, upon stepping outside around 3:30AM, and looking beyond the stars, into heaven itself and it was simply beautiful ) all told..., I'd clearly hear more harmonically placed chores within the structure of each | every note, of which said Odin designs in hindsight obscured, but once again this is an individual thing | of which is done in isolation of one component which obviously needed a different type of voicing, as it wasn't as responsive to either of the Odin's at all.
But clearly came into its own with the Accuphase | there's no other way I'm able to explain what I hear | yet I'm very very capable of deciphering said differences | have chosen what works in so much as putting everything sonically into its proper placement | as far as I'm concerned cabling wise, I need not look any further, well maybe a Xangsane pure silver usb cable?, and even that's a big maybe?.
Did you change out the supplied plugs to perhaps copper based ones ? Thank you.
Guys | Dolls,
I'd ask that each of you take me seriously on said recommendation | after a mere 18 hours of listening to this very cord I find it simply wonderful | so much so I've retired both the Odin 2 Silver | Odin Gold and can't possibly see replacing them into my system.
This cord offers a beautifully sense of musicality of which I've to believe could easily better many $300-$600 cords, please don't allow yourself to be caught upon the political issues of it being build in China ( once again, truth be told how many things these days aren't? ) as I've stated time and time again, the Chinese culture on a whole has its share of music loving audiophiles, of whom overall systems excess many Americans cost wise | so I'm more inclined to think that at some point via reverse engineering or what've you?, they're also very very capable of building electronics | cabling which should at some point become even more appealing to many.
There was a time between 1967-1978 where many Japanese designs were looked down upon, in case many didn't know, they were also amongst the first to take what's now known as HiFi cabling designs to new heights | while many here during said period allows themselves to be content with basically cables by the likes of RatShack, to the standards of 18-16AWG zip cord on their then prized system(s) ask yourself this..., if American made items like source components | amplification | speakers are the best ever made, why have we always had imported wares?, is it because of value? ( cheaper ) or simply because many brands like Linn | Naim | Exposure | Rogers | Kef | Celestion | Arcam | Vienna Acoustics | Meridian | B&W | Roksan | Voyd | Townshend | QED | Marantz | Philips | Audio Innovations | Metronome | Micromega | AudioMat | Lector | Jadis | Audio Note UK and Japan ( Kondo ) | Air Tight | Luxman | Accuphase | Sansui produced many items worthy of one's attention?.
It has always been more global than many are willing to admit. More often than not some are overly impressed with 1/2-1 1/8" thick faceplates | massively heavy components, like 600 wpc amps, which found difficulty in driving a pair of the original Rogers LS 3/5a's with a sense of musically as offered via a simple 25 wpc Sugden A21a or NAD 3020 integrated amp..., as someone Canadian born, I've very seldom if even bought American electronics other than a Dynaco ST-70 or a set of Quicksilver Audio 8417's, and StraightWire Maestro cables, so being opened mind to growth allows one to understand said global marketing isn't to be overlooked..., how many of you can remember how the Chinese tube amp companies like Consonance ( Opera ) | Antique Sound Labs during the early to late 90s, bought many of us back around to using | loving tube gear?, even their $1.000 amps moved quite a few of us to tears, no!.
I for one shall never be blinded by cost alone | in the end it's how any given piece of equipment rendered the notes themselves | as well as brings me emotionally that much closer to enlightenment | an innermost peace nothing can touch.
A world set upon crap ass biases, doesn't do any of us of various cultures or tonal shading any good, I'm a people person by choice, yet can openly admit, I don't do rednecks or hillbillies very well, none respond to the word " BOY ", and never shall.
Thanks for allowing me to vent | I needed to get that off my heart and move onwards and learn to be more forgiving of those whom mean me ill will, on second thought, naw let's keep it real.

Hello everyone,
Said cord arrived moments ago | upon placing it onto my Aurender server, all I can say is the Aussie's were right, this to my mind has to be among one of those extremely rare finds | going from memory of the cords I've owned from companies like Shunyata Research | Synergistic Research | AQ | Analysis Plus | Pangea | Cullen | Straight Wire | and dare I say even those Chinese NordOst ( both Odin 2 Silver | Odin Gold ) for a pure copper conductor based designs offers a sense of fidelity which one would expect in said $399 priced cords, so it seems those labeled as the Core Technologies Valiant were onto something very very very special here.
And yes..., I view this cord as an absolute steal | bargain of which gets my highest recommendation | then some, even using it with the stock power plugs offers a ebb and flow of notes that's again rare | the innermost detailing is held intact | the overall sound is spacious | smooth ( but not overly so ) | correctly balanced which is very very important to me, as I'm once again a person whom has always concentrated on the timbre | tonality | textural presence of the recordings themselves | so said cord having the ability to not come across as bright | harsh, is a blessing in itself.
This is infant a very very very very nice sounding power cord.
Edits: 02/08/23
Thank you for the heads up, just ordered one up !
Tangram,
Your welcome | I felt duty bound to share said findings | can only pray my hearing isn't letting me down?, and while I'm well aware somethings like cables | cord respond differently in some setups, there are times were generalizations hold true.., I do believe such is the case with this cord, based upon the reviews which seem accurate in my mind.
Do share your findings once yours arrive.
Received this morning, interesting that the shielding is weaved in on the outside of the sheathing, I did not realise this before, very cool.
Swapped out a Odin silver with pure silver copper colour plugs which have been in place for some eighteen months, on my allnic phono stage.
I was expecting it to sound rather closed in as many new power chords do. Not this one! I agree with everything said, the musical expression, speed, and timbre is superb, such rightness.
I will try these with the pure silver plugs once I have got acclimatised to these.
SUCH FUN!
Thanks all especially EL34.😁
Tangram,
That's great news | as I was beginning to think I was losing both my hearing and mind.
Yet upon hearing this cord once again | caused me to sell off 2 of the Odin 2 | 1 Odin Gold PCs | 1 pair each of the Odin 2 | Odin Gold ICs as well as their stablemate balanced pairs of said Odin 2 | Odin Gold IC's | 2 USB Cables ( Odin 2 | Odin Gold ), yet I held onto a pair of 3.5M Valhalla 2 SCs | 2 of their Odin 2 USB Cables.
And once again awaiting the Monosaudio P902 PC to be shipped from Illinois, as there are times where packages seem to sit there longer than needed.
Yet Tangram..., might I ask about said brand | model of the silver plated copper power plug connectors you're referring to?, as I broke down and purchased singles of the IeGO 8065 Silver Plated Copper IEC Female | IeGO 8095 Pure Silver - Rhodium Plated AC Male, as per said playing around with different types of plating on both ends of any given PC, in hopes of combining their strengths while offsetting their weaknesses.
And may still spring for one pair of the Xangsane Sterling Silver IC's | matching USB Cables, as I see both affordable enough to what to know what's to them both?, and loving this newfound discovery in the Chinese made cabling regardless of what some might think.
Freedom of choice goes a long ways.
And lastly | you're more than welcome.

They are copper colour, see link, a good price too in comparison, I will retain the accuphase outer shells and replace the blade housing with the pure silver ones in a few days and report back.

BTW the machinery to produce the outer accuphase sheathing must be something else and different to what other brands being produced. I don't know how it's worth it for them, crazy world !
Thanks,
Weird thing is | I've an ad for a few power plug connectors shown here:
https://www.audioasylumtrader.com/ca/listing/Accessory/Monosaudio_CopperColour_IeGO-Power/Rhodium-Copper-Silver-AC_IEC/Power-Plugs/224780
But decided to pursue the ones mentioned earlier | as well as singles of both the SonarQuest Silver Plated Copper AC Male ( due to the fact a member over on A'Gon mentioned comparing its plating to both Vanguard | Viborg and saw it offers heavier plating | as well as their Un-Plated Copper IEC Female ) both finished in the dark housing, as the black ones bore the hell out of me.
Like you.., I'll be removing the blades from said makes | place one set into the Viborg Aluminum housing | another into the Monosaudio M | F109R Nylon | Fiberglass housing and chill, as you've noted the Accuphase housing is beautifully built | as is the outer jacketing | those little gray and copper dots makes it retro in a rather nostalgic 60s sort of way.
Like minded people | when given time connect the dots | do we not?. I'll be awaiting your modification on said plugs | housing.
Thanks again.
O_o scar
Yes will do. This is the next item arriving.

Thanks once again.And the kids over on Head-Fi have been raving about this clone Furutech Flux-50, I think it's called?, for like 3-4 months now, many found it to be very effective.
I would like to ask, what type of differences did you hear going from the stock gold plated brass connectors on the Odin 2, upon replacing them with the silver plated copper " CopperColour "'red copper versions?, as I read into it many seem to be moving away from gold plated anything | and either have moved onto un-plated copper | silver or rhodium plated copper, yet even with the latter some seem reluctant to use it, any chance you'd offer a somewhat in-depth description on said differences sonically speaking in your experiences in this?
One of the very last areas I'm looking to pursue is grounding boxes | of which will be taken care of by next week ( hint | hint ) the clue resides in my posted photo.
Edits: 02/21/23
I will have a look over there then, talking of grounding boxes, this is the one I preferred and using.
Very very very nice indeed.

Hi Oscar good find.
Are these more flexible than the Odin 2 gold P/C?
Hello ejk,
I found it to be, in fact it laid on the floor in a prefect semi figure 8, and was much easier to manage. The overall fit and finish is what I'd have expected on a $600 cord easily.
And while I like Walter, having purchased items from him in the past..., and have had a fellow member here ( whom shall remain nameless) respond to me in an email " it's people like me, that buy items on eBay directly from Japan or China, that's causing some American audio retailers to close their doors ", logically I'm inclined to think anyone with excess to a computer | understands Google is their friend | can in fact find bargains from just about anything around the globe, a little time researching goes a very very long ways.
Why in the hell would anyone in their right mind buy an items for $250, ( or at $500, if purchased as an octet ) when said same items can be obtained from Japan for say $67-$125?, call me illogical for not wishing to spend locally, but in truth..., give me a break, as I believe I'm able to shop ( spent ) anywhere I wish.
When I began looking for certain tubes back in 2004, more often than not it paid to go directly to said tubes factory place of origin | for German or French tubes, I'd go to these respective countries eBay sites and translate..., as they're after all much cheaper as opposed to buying domestically | where many sellers here simply are looking to add a few dollars to their actual cost based upon supply and demand they claim, I on the other hand see it as greed | being dishonest.
Keep me ( us ) in the loop if you decide to purchase one?, as well as sharing your experience with it. I can't see going wrong with this one..., as a matter of fact, I honestly believe many would be foolish to write it off simply due to its Chi-Fi origins.
Will do.
And by the way, the times of mail order wives are over so we might as well by cables.
I heard that, but as my Michelle knows of my passion for non-speaking Asian women, I hope not. I hate to say it, but my 9 years spent in Japan made a lasting impression.
It seems by dressing up what might in fact be the Accuphase 40th Anniversary power cord with rhodium plated power connectors | it becomes a $399 cord, once again I'm merely judging this visually..., as the outer woven jacket | stock Bronze colored plugs shown in the reviews of their "Valiant" PC do look very much alike.
As per the many reviews over on AliExpress were in fact enough to cause me to spent $34 for one, as stated they can be found over on eBay shipped stateside, as waiting upwards of 14-17 from China seemed rather unnecessary in this case. The tracking number on my order was changed to a delivery date to this Thursday | to me it's worth trying out, no?.

Could you identify the EBay US based seller/shipper for the Accuphase power cord? All I could find were sellers/shippers from China.
Any information you have on this would be greatly appreciated.
davem1,
I hope this link works?, if not just put " Accuphase Power Cord " into the search box, he should be listed here the top of the page, otherwise good into the filter settings for location | click onto USA:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/115582660435?hash=item1ae9436f53:g:Wn0AAOSwRaNjdt2E&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4BxYQgDdpepNLDJln3KYBVQnbZTo%2Fude4w2ESADcbZ4k5P04CgGu0M1v4HMp88B%2FgG9JJwiJgSw4xO9aMyzI4KdEthC3an6IzDLDbGtUrXcr7r1%2BriYipUWfFjD%2Fcs1dXNJZg4vp2TJkMuXGjsmjI7wYFopSA417VddfPqWREFf%2FV5QZw3sjef2FGqSBjWqb9OhQnKSKSvWG1Gf9gIk0LYrc3j3%2F8V8nD8FqNVx7ZKvIKVAqc7PcDR1eSuxPXCTi1Do2KGGE8ldtgvM%2F%2FLf4OczsWolVLF8Ne%2FAGy7%2B%2BsDkJ%7Ctkp%3ABFBMvsmLgNBh

Many Thanks.
For the life of me, I could not find this one. Take care.
You're More Than Welcome.
And personally I believe you'll love what it brings..., once again in our homes main system, all of those $400-$890 PCs are long gone, whom would've thunk it?. As it stands I've just written the guy in Australia that turned me onto it, I'm trying to see if there are any benefits in changing out its stock plugs?, as it sounds very very very musically balanced on my end | yet the thought is copper base metal on said plugs is considered better than brass based materials ( gold plated brass at that ), which is seen as a no-no by some.
But my ears | senses | heart are all saying otherwise.
