Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Benjamin ★★★★★

The IEC connector seats firmly on my power amp with no wobble at all, which was my main gripe with the cheap cord it replaced. Bass feels tighter and the noise floor dropped noticeably.

Henry X. ★★★★★

Swapped the stock cord on my subwoofer for this and the low end tightened up noticeably, less flub on kick drums. The IEC female end seats firmly with no wiggle, which was my worry with cheaper cables.

Penelope G. ★★★★★

The IEC female connector on this cable fits my subwoofer's power inlet way tighter than the stock cord ever did. Bass response through my Bravus feels noticeably more controlled now, especially on heavy low-end tracks. Didn't expect a power cable to make this much of a difference.
