GR Research Power Cables

This will be the first review of this kind I have ever written. I just received my second and third GR Research power cables in the mail today. These are quite simply the best value of any component or cable I have ever purchased.

I put the first one on the amp. It replaced a similarly priced well regarded cable. No contest. More air, better separation, more dynamic. Across the board better, significantly better. I quickly ordered two more, wondering how they would sound on my DAC (Lampizator Atlantic TRP) and CD transport (Sim Moon 260D). On the DAC the cable being replaced is almost 3 times the cost of the GR Research cable. Again, no contest at all. The GR Research cable wins hands down in every respect (the one caveat here, and I hesitate to mention it, is the soundstage is still a little messy. But this is with almost 100% certainty a break-in issue).

No affiliation with the company, or industry for that matter. Just very excited about such a solid and affordable product. There are no reviews online and for those looking into them; I wanted to add a touchstone that might be of help. They have some great videos online as well that are worth watching.

Any one of the above cables are well worth a listen, the cool thing you'll spend 3-500.00 for all of them.. TOTAL!! Get a few PC you'll love them on a DAC, Preamp, Server, or SACD. I'm using them on a pair of Nord NC500 right now.. 39.00 PC.

I won't say who's 1300.00 PC I took out.. (My Buddies a MIT and Transparent fan) He let me give it a go.. OK at best.. Copper too..

They all work excellent.. 1-3 weeks delivery.. I have quite a rapport with a couple of the suppliers.. NEVER an issue.. Very respectful, no claims about anything.. You buy, You use, You like!! For PEANUTS!!!

If you are going to buy those cables it is cheaper to just buy them on Aliexpress rather than eBay.

If you have someone at Aliexpress it’s best you use them. I just happen to built a "REPPORT", with two of them on Ebay. READ!!!!

I’m not buying cheaper. I’m buying for less money and higher quality..

I just happen to use more than one type of cable and combo..

Usually 6-10 pairs at a time. 10 3 meter random cables.

Speaker ICs x 2, RCAs or XLRs X 6, and PC x 6, 4-600,00 total for a cable set.. Weaves and ribbons OCC/silver clad PTFE.

Cheaper on Aliexpress?

BTW, ZERO shipping cost to me other than the price and it goes down from what you see when I buy in combos or 10 pieces or more. I get up to a 20% additional reduction in cost..

Like I said before, My buddy bought 30 sets of ribbons, he was handing them out to 4th cousins in Brazil and Chile. NO KIDDING!!

GRs got it going on. Danny is a SALESMAN too. He makes a fine living I’m sure.. He’s an easy listen and a Good ol Boy!

oldhvymec, I just ordered one of those ebay power cables to compare it to the GR Research cable. So far the GR is wonderfully detailed with a wide and deep soundstage. Really enjoying the sound it lets through.

Wondering if those Ebay cables are really OCC and not OFC?
