from Theo Pruijs Amsterdam Summary: I musr admit that the first time I saw Nordost advertising for their ECO 3 treatment spray, I was more than intrigued. And even though I am normally quite skeptical towards the newest and hottest snake-oil product which is supposed to be the greatest miracle ever for every true-blue audiophile, I decided to give this baby a fair chance.
And here I am now, more than a year later writing this review for all of you to read. Truth be told that I am still a bit skeptical to the various claims different manufacturers make regarding their products but I can tell you one thing for sure and that is that ECO 3 works. I have only tried it on my speaker cables, powercords and interconnects and not on my CD's so far but seeing how well it does its job on cables I might as well give my CD's the ECO-treatment soon. What ECO-3 does to your cables is actually two-fold: first it achieves that your cables really look as new and squirky clean after you have treated them. That to me was already a big bonus to start with.
But even better was what it did to the sound. After treating my cables it seemed as if it suddenly was easier for the music to flow through the cables. It was as if my hifi-system suddenly did not have to work as hard any more to deliver a satisfying performance. It may sound funny but my impression was and still is that ECO-3 simply makes it easier for your cables to really start delivering; the sound becomes more relaxed, easier to follow and more natural.
Please don't expect HUGE differences though. A Thirteen-A-Dozen cable treated with ECO-3 will not outperform an untreated, more expensive and better quality cable. ECO-3 will not turn a mediocre system into a ninth wonder of the world.
But what it can do and really does is to give your cables and this your entire system a little but significant lift in performance. It will make your system sound better and it will make the music sound more natural. And when looking at the price paid for this little gem I can therefore truly and heartily recommend it to all of you.
Strengths: Makes the music flow better; the sound becomes more relaxed Weaknesses: None really; but you should not expect HUGE differences Similar Products Used: None
