from Audiogon Summary:
I initially bought the power link super for my Pass Aleph P preamp, which is partnered to an Aleph 5 amp. The difference in sound was huge over the stock cord - warm, powerful, natural and engaging. I bought two more (used). However, like all things in life there is no one panacea, in this instance I believe the highs in absolute terms are rolled off, or is that b/c there is none of the sibilance I have grown so used to through 20 odd CD players - the current model a Naim CDX. I plugged the super into the power amp and again, the sound provided was more of the same - rich, powerful with a natural sonic presentation. Welcome, as it gave the sound through my watt starved Maggies (3's) needed body. In all these older 'three network box' powerlink super power cords are excellent value on the used market and in my estimation a worthwhile investment. Strengths:
Warmth, body and a welcoming presentation that is easy to get into - no sibiliance. Weaknesses:
I suspect the highs are marginally rolled off. Similar Products Used:
Nordost Shiva - 'deliver plenty of detail, but will shriek and rip one's ears off if system remotely bright.
