Re: Power Cables

professorhat:
If you visit their site, you'll see they have a 60 day money back guarantee. As I say, I've already used this as I returned my Silver-line power cable and there was no quibbles on refunding the money. Just make sure you keep the packaging!

And your verdict is?

Re: Power Cables

Verdict on what? The Silver-line? As I said a bit earlier, I thought it made a difference but not enough to justify the £200 price tag so I returned it for a refund.

Have the Copper-line Alpha on order now.

Re: Power Cables

Someones just pointed me towards these actually ~

http://elucidate-cables.co.uk/Design.html

Ive never heard of them before but this bloke has tried a nodost cable which he found to be a bit c*ap, and tried these and they apparantly REALLY do the business.

What they say makes ABSOLUTE sense to me ~ im thinking of giving one a go sometime

Interesting...one thing I like is that they aren't telling you what you should or shouldn't be hearing/seeing when you use their cables, usually a good sign.

Re: Power Cables

I'll post what he did as it reads very well ~

"Funny thing mains cables, theirs lots of controversy and debate around whether they make any difference or not?

However,
having spend thousands of pounds on my hi fi system, I decided it made
sense to use the best mains cables with them, why scrimp and scrap and
cut corners now…so I decided to buy some mains cables from
Nordost…unfortunately I could hardly tell the difference and was rather
disappointed.

I did some more digging and spent quite a lot of
time reading around the internet and looking at double blind studies
into mains cables etc (I can provide links in people are interested?)

I
came across a company called Elucidate Cables, who claim to design
their cables using filters, screening, and twisted pair techniques to
actively reduce interference such as RFI and EMI.

Their EPIC
cable, seamed reasonably priced so I purchased a 1 meter cable to test
with, I wasn’t expecting a lot to me honest with you, however I was
amazed at the difference it made, it blew my Nordost cable out of the
water.

I’ve since bought a second cable for the 65” Plasma TV and
was equally surprised by how much better the HD channels looked, the
colours and everything seams to come alive and look more vivid….I’d
highly recommend trying one of these cables to any sceptics out there"

Re: Power Cables

What I want to know is, this Clearer Audio Cable, the new £35 copper one. What is so different from that and the one that came in the box with my Panny HD Plasma screen?


What do pannasonic use in there power cables? Im sure the out the box cable would use the same copper material!?! Would that justify me spending £35 on clearer audios cable?

Hello l4dva,

Our Copper-line Alpha Power Cable differs from a standard power cable in many ways. Standard power cables usually have 0.75sq/mm conductors using tough pitch copper (a low purity copper) and will not be shielded. The Copper-line Alpha Power Cable utilises Ultra High Purity Oxygen Free Copper (UHP-OFC) with larger gauge conductors along with a very high performance shielding system. There are also other aspects which contribute to performance. You can read our press release which gives full details of the cable here.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Darren

Re: Power Cables

I'm a big fan of the QED SA XT, it seems to suit my system far better than copper. Maybe that's because Arcam is not bright sounding, but Having both the aforementioned cables hooked up the same system and also having used my second speakers with the QED, I have to say the QED is a much more accomplished listen than the OFC.

 

Arcam CD192/A85/P85/T61/DV79 biamped into Dali Ikon 6 speakers in the lounge and ProAc Tablette Reference 8 Signatures in the kitchen. Merlin and RA Mains cables, QED speaker cable and IXOS/Crystal Cable/vdh interconnects.

Re: Power Cables

I have 6 clearer audio silver line power cables in my system and the difference they make is astonishing. I've also trialed chord company's power chords, which are a huge improvement over the free bundled cables, but the clearer audio cables are something else.

Re: Power Cables

I have never seen any power cable improve sound or vision in any way. And I have tried a few. Totally in the mind in my opinion. But you are most welcome to make your own decisions... So believers, please don't flame me. Personally tho... Waste of money and a great product aimed at a market that is often very willing to be taken in in the search for that little bit extra.

Re: Power Cables

Hi Darren - great to see you active here as I'm about to order some of the Copperline cables for my system - just waiting to check the lengths when my new cabinet arrives - you'll be sending them out to Australia for me so there's not much likelihood of them coming back! What I am interested in though is whether you offer any kind of power board for the Australian market? I currently have a Belkin 8-way PureAV and am curious as to whether an upgrade is worth it and what to buy…

Hi Damien,

I try to get onto the forums as much as possible and get involved!

Our 60 Day Money Back Guarantee is worldwide so if you do want to return the cables then you can do so even given the very long distance!

Currently we do not make our HUBs with international sockets. We can however build a HUB with an Australian mains plug and you can then use our power cables with the UK mains plug. Your Belkin will work perfectly well with the Copper-line Power Cables although using a HUB to form a Copper-line Power System will provide better performance as you might expect. The power cables usually give the most significant improvement and the HUB further improves performance. If you are thinking long-term and will be upgrading your system then a HUB can be a worthwhile investment otherwise you might want to stick with your Belkin.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Darren
