for the Reference Power Cord
This is my fourth cable from ELF, the three previous having been a pair of speaker cables, and two pairs of interconnects, all made of OCC copper, as is the Reference Power Cord. Obviously, I have found Ernest's cables very good indeed, so when I saw a new ad in Audiogon I made an order.My intention was to install the new PC on my preamp, which I have done. It wasn't that the cable I was using (Ultimate Silver C4) wasn't satisfactory: it is better than good, and a real bargain. But, I have been on another upgrade binge, and I thought ELF's newest would lift things up yet another notch. It has done much more than that: oh, the sweetness, detail, and dynamics, not to mention instrumental timbre and venue presence now being presented by my treasured old Adcom 750 preamp.You might notice I make no mention of price. That's because I perceive this cable to be in the "cost no object" catagory. It is somewhat amazing that it is actually inexpensive enough that a very ordinary "bang for the buck" type audiophile, such as myself, can afford it.
Product Weakness: Somewhat stiff, but no more than most very high quality power cords. Product Strengths: Smooth,sweet,very dynamic, detailed. Brings out the best in other equipment.
