Esoteric X-01 power cord

Bro,

You have a player that (pick a percent) of the audio world cannot easily afford and should be killer. I would love to listen to ANY esoteric player.

Looking for weight and body? if you do not have vinyl, go listen to some music played by turntables with good records you might be surprised.

Have Fun

Colesey , To me a Power cord and interconnects are all part of the equation. They can make a big difference.
The Wolf cords always seemed lean to me.
First though ...
What is your Preamp and Amp?
Speakers?
What Interconnects?

I found that all things matter.

Don't waste your money on a power cord.Try a spare computer power cord and you shouldn't hear any difference.Maybe a different preamp may match up better if that could be a problem.Especially if your old CD player had that warm characteristic,a preamp with the same warm sound may fit your needs.Stereophile says that CD/SACD player was on the cool side.So a warm preamp or amp may help.Link>>>[http://www.stereophile.com/thefifthelement/205fifth/index3.html]

A bigger gauge might help, but I think the plated plugs are the culprit. For a "fuller" presentation I'd suggest you take a listen to a copper Kaplan cable. The pure copper wire and unplated pure copper plugs render a full bass with a rich midrange. The highs are clean and extended, though perhaps not as "sparkly" as some plated plugs or cords may render.

I've found, in general, that cords that focus on "sparkly", up-front highs can tend to sound lean.

And unlike some here, PCs have a big impact on sonics in my system, and my equipment has no design flaws. As you are aware, with a hi-rez system it’s easy to discern PC differences.

Could it be the placebo effect?It cost more so it must sound better.
