Hearing is believing?........power cables.......


For anyone who is skeptical about the difference a high quality power cord can make in your high quality audio system........try it.......hearing is believing. About 10 years ago when I bought my first "entry level" hifi system (B&K amp/preamp, Canton speakers) my audio advisor dropped off a Tara Labs Prism power cord. He said just try it for a week and if you don't think it makes a difference just return it. I, like most unfamiliar with high quality cables, was skeptical.......how could a cable 1 meter long from the wall to my equipment make a difference? I put it on the power amp and yes I could definitely tell there was a more defined bass and overall clearer soundscape. I'm a musicians, so I figured maybe the "non audiophile" can't hear the difference. So my brother-in-law who is a bricklayer came over and we did a blind listening test. I randomly switched the Tara, sometimes trying to fool him......told him I switched but didn't........he could tell every time I used the Tara! So I was convinced that it was "wishful thinking on my part or particularly sensitive ears. If you don't think a great power cable can make a difference........take the challenge. Try one for a week and see (hear) for yourself!

@toddverrone...

You're a pusher!
Sorrrrry - Guilty as charged :-(

I tend to get over enthused about this stuff - I've  seldom had anyone provide feedback on the Helix before

You’re a pusher!

And if you mean it in the "other sense" - Again - Guilty as charged :-(

Gonna get you hooked on "the Helix" (LOL)

Cheers :-)
I definitely meant it in the ’hey kid, try this awesome stuff’ way..

The cable is definitely calming down, I’m very happy with its sound. I won’t bother confirming whether my soundstage has gotten wider, etc, etc, only because, if you’ve already suggested it, then I’ll be primed to hear it. I do believe that what I called increased space between instruments and improved clarity after my first listen could easily be interpreted as an increase in soundstage.. besides sounding great, though, I'm really impressed how much it has reduced the hum in my TT, which wasn't really all that bad, but now it's hardly audible from 1'.

Either way, the helix is definitely a great design. I’ve posted links to your info blog in numerous threads around here.. it’s funny, though. People just like to buy the fancy bulk cable and expensive connectors for DIY. Ain’t nobody wanna work for their cables! :-)
au contraire - I am one of those who creates change

you should have written: No debate, some think they hear change but are really victims of palebo effect
