New OFC Power Cord from Ice Age Audio

Hello to all. This is my first post on Audiogon and I must comment about the IceAge cables. I had the original ($130) cryogenically treated copper/copper power cable for my tube amp and it was a large upgrade worth every penny. I got the new OFC cable and this thing is in a totally different league for sure. I can't believe my tube amp could be this much faster and more precise yet again. It totally blew me away after breaking it in for 3 days and I had my first listening of it yesterday. This cable is very special without a doubt and worthy of ultimate endgame cable status for me in my own system. Putting a number or value on this cable it is priceless to me. It only cost me $269 on a special for a 5' cable and this cable is without a doubt in competition with much, much more expensive cables with what it does!

I have over 100 cables in my system (many are cryo treated $65-$90 smaller gauge and shorter length power cables that Rick can make at even less cost) To be able to get something this good at this cost needs to be recommended and shared to other audiophiles. I could have never made it even close to where I am at now buying overpriced or underperforming cables. I used many IceAge cables the last year on all of my equipment digital and analog. Even my digital amps and other digital equipment can sound better with these (This is at least 100 percent true to my own subjective preferences and they do uniquely effect the sound) These just outperform everything at the cost that I have seen so far and can even extraordinarily outperform for the cost in some cases. I genuinely hope more out there discover these as it could really help them in the cost that the audio rabbit hole truly can be. 

I must mention the OFC series cryo RCA are also just simply so very good. I have 3 DACs (Gustard R26, Weiss DAC 204, Musician Pegasus) and only one set of these RCA. I can't help but feel like I simply NEED to swap these onto each DAC versus my other RCA! They are a real treat to use.

Check out our latest review from Stu McCreary of Positive Feedback Magazine. It covers our full product line, including our latest addition of the OFC Series. It's a bit lengthy, but it's a good read. And for all of you naysayers who want to share your opinion??? If you haven't heard our products, you don't have an opinion. There's a simple way to see what our products can truly do. All of the negative comments are from people who have not tried them, and all of the positive comments are from the people who use them. Simply Google our company name, and the rest is self explanatory.

Enjoy the read...

Got to come back and mention how much I have enjoyed these cables the last 10 months. Hope more find these. Currently using about 10 of the OFC series power cables and other IceAge cables. Can genuinely say I've enjoyed every dollar of it all so far

No need to spend a fortune, $600 or $1200 per cable for other cryo treated OCC cables to drop noise floor IMO just get these and buy a nice new amp instead

I use the OFC series cable on my reference grade masterclock that replaced my last clock which was a high end clock. I tested several cables on my last higher end masterclock and the OFC Series worked quite nicely on there vs several others so I am confident with them on my new clock. Drop in noise floor, smooth flow keeping ground flow nice helps coax and BNC to run smoother, deeper and clearer. Can hear it right away even unsettled

At one point I put in 6 of the OFC series in earlier this year with some other cryo treated cables in the back end and they replaced highly reviewed and praised audiophile grade cables. It significantly dropped the noise floor even further right away unbroken in

For the price just extra dang good I think

There is awesome effects on tube amp with these cables that made me smile for days, will never forget that first time.

The USB cable has been a go-to in many cases for a year or more. Very nice balance for overaller, not overly aggressive, easy to enjoy the music and has beat any of my other USB how it can synergize quite a few times notably. It is my favorite USB to simply enjoy the music with potent headphones and mobile equipment no worry about fatigue

I enjoy it in my main system when I do as well. I enjoy several USB quite a bit, tubulus concentus, sablon 2020, supra excalibur. 

RCA/XLR have enjoyed them quite a bit particularly with warm/warm setups can make for a very nice euphoric, heavy laden cascade of tone and bass with realistic imaging, extra nice for me with warm tubes and the right warm/neutral headphones. 

I plan to experiment with, enjoy and test and understand these cables for more years to come. I think later this year or next year I may see them at their best yet again. 

@iceageaudio ,

Can you comment on your choice of OFC vs. OCC?

@slaw I can answer that I think

The OFC series is OCC (ohno continuous cast) cryo copper. That copper more expensive even lower noise floor and different design and sound too

The regular original power cable I believe uses non-occ ofc cryo copper. I own about 12 of these really good to me for the price, some short ones only $65 nice drop in noise vs regular cables no doubt but not as good as the OFC series OCC

Would like to comment more, iceage deserves attention! Yes I am a fan. Enjoying the OCC cryo XLR today, nice extra fluidity in stage, not too aggressive or over focused with matrix pure dac using silver i2s out of clock into WA22 vs my other more expensive XLR it is the best choice, smoother vocals, even a bit of relief with such an aggressive setup some of the time for me with these. Nice to have these around.

There seems to be a lack of uniform industry advertising on this 

Quite a few small companies fly completely under the radar in todays marketing world hard to find them no doubt. Noticeably better customer service and ability to easily contact the owner directly is bonus as well. I'm sure I can get a fairly quick turnaround on a cable repair or alteration if I need it years from now
