Summary:
After burn in, I sat down to listen to this cable for a few hours. I could not believe that what I was hearing was actually coming from my speakers! The lifelike timing and pace that the AC-2 MK II brings to music was startling. This AC cord dramatically improves the immediacy of transients. The noise floor dropped, revealing more retrieval of complex harmonic structure as the quiet, minute details of the background came through. The bass was revealing, detailed, solid, tight and linear, while still maintaining impressive separation in the lower frequencies. Although I knew that a good power cord can have some improvement in sound, I had my doubts as to how much. Well, there is absolutely nothing subtle about the positive impact this AC cord makes over other more expensive cords; let alone a stock cord. Anyone who believes as I did should listen with the AC-2 MK II. I have auditioned a few of the highly touted ones with my local dealer; such as the Kimber Paladian 10 priced at $1060.00 and the Nordost Brahama priced at $1499.00 and the Acrolink 6N-PC100 priced at about 1600.00. I won’t go into all of the details of my opinions of them; I will simply say I prefer the AC-MK II by a wide margin.

Strengths:
Strengths: Dead quiet noise floor, large expanse of harmonic information, engaging, energetic.

Weaknesses:
Absent of any weaknesses

Price Paid:  $249.00 from LAT Int'l Website

Summary:
I own two of the prior model (AC-2). They are great cables. But this new AC-2 MK II is actually better. Compared to some other cords like the JPS Labs Kaptovator that is priced at 1,500.00, the L AT AC-2 MK II has more detail, more air, more musicality and better focus. The background is deep, dark and absolutely dead quiet. I borrowed the JPS to make the comparison and to decide which one to buy. Well it was a “no brainer” Not only because of the far superior performance of the LA T, but also because of the tremendous price difference.



Strengths:
Great clarity, tighy firm bass, harmonically, dead quiet background

Weaknesses:
None
