The most holographic Power Cord

Nordost Odin.

In started to test powercords in 2002, and mannn they make a hige difference. But......they all create a different kind of stage. A powercable can create a wide and deep stage, but you still need a sharp individual focus within this stage.

For example; during a show the distributor used Shunyata powercables. Jacintha her head was over 3 metres wide. So I asked ( those F. idiots) if Jacintha has a big water head?

When you are not aware of the properties of a powercable and you are not aware how big instruments and voices are in real. You don't know which cable will fitt the best in your set.

It doens't mean you cannot use Shunyata powercables in your set. But you need other tools to create the right proportion of instruments and voices. So you will get the intimate individual focus you need for the right balance in your set.

I love Purist Audio powercables because they not only can create a wide and deep stage. But withing this stage instruments and voices are very sharp focussed and have the right proportion. In this part they are superior compared to Shunyata. Which powercables I don't find good enough to sell to my clients.

The level of black is also superior to many other powercables when you compare Purist powercables to others.

What I do is letting people hear what a realistic and sharp individual focus does with your emotion. You can see it on the faces of people. They get a big smile on theeir face because they are aware of what it does to your emotion.

I hate every system when instruments and voices are too big in proportion. I advice these people to start auditioning intimate acoustic concerts. It did change my perspective about audio and music dramaticly!

Every single powercord has his own properties. But it also
depends of the properties of your speakers, amp, source,
conditioner etc.

You will never get a deep and wide stage if you use spakers
which do not have crossovers who can build it. Most speakers
in audio shops cannot create a lot of depth. A powercable
will not change this.

When an amp, source and speaker is owning a deep and wide
stage a powercable who also can give this can make it deeper
and wider.

I always ask a very simple question to clients and also to
distributors. Do you know all different properties of each
individual tool you use in your set. In almost all situations
I get the same answer: I don't!

Then it is a lot more complicated to understand how your stage
is buing build. They change one tool for another and hope it
will bring them what they are looking for.

When you are aware of the properties of each individual tool
audio will become a lot better to control and understand. This
way you always get a better endresult.

The endresult says it all. That is why the best and most
convincing sound always will win in audio. That is what I love
most in audio.....period!!

Craig Hampel of CH Acoustic makes the X-20 power cord which is very good. I also agree that the Stealth or PAD or Elrod brand and Stage 111 Triton and Kraken are also winners. A lot depends on your budget. If you need to spend less look at the Mad Scientist "Neo" power cord as Ozzy mentioned or the top of the line Triode Wire labs as Bander mentioned.
