The Trans is a Power Cord designed for amps, and higher current demanding equipment, and the Olos is the preamp/cd/DAC power cord from VH Audio. I have used his Flavor 4 cords in the past, and felt they were very good performers, and hard to beat under 1000.00 until I heard these. They, both Kraken and Trans are quite a bit better, this from a power cord skeptic. The Olos and Trans both are brand new, and made to order for length and termination options. We listened with the Furutech Rhodium Silver plug and IEC ends. Chris is the designer of the famous VCaps which much ink has been spilled over. He is using a new wire with a proprietary dielectric lower than any other cable available. Better than Teflon AKA fluoropolymer,..... essentially the best materials. I believe a great power cord has to have a 1. great design/configuration, 2. Great parts/materials, and 3.great terminations. After a break in, this cord is quite good. Of course, every system may not reveal these same results, but in this setting this is what we heard. I encourage you to audition them. Chris allowed a trial period, and this allows time to do a system evaluation for compatability and synergy. Depending on length and terminations, the power cord is 1600-2000.00. He also has the AirSine cable very favorably reviewed in several magazines. A friend bought 3 of them. They are so new, they are not officially available. You can e-mail him at chrisvh@vhaudio.com.
Listen to the Kraken, AirSine, and Trans. Be sure to have hours on each one as some do not sound very good for a couple of hundred hours. At least 75-100 hours.
Happy listening and evaluating, PT
