Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Wow, what can i say. When i read the reviews for the IC interconnects, i knew i had to get this cable. When i opened the box it looked really good. after that i plugged it in and i was stunned and amazed. The previous power cord that i was using was the PSAudio xStream Plus SC. All i have to say was the AC-3 signature blew the psaudio cable out the water. The accuracy was amazing and it was very musical. The bass traveled far more out of the speaker and it was in the center of the woofer, The AC-3 delivered a full sound on my dynaudio BM12a's and I was so happy. Also it was very neutral, pretty much no emphasis on bass or highs, it was well balanced. I am definitely going to replace all of my power cords with Lat International.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $899.00 from Direct from LAT Inte

Summary:
I have purchased the LAT International AC-3 Signature to audition and possibly keep. It is their top of the line power cord and the price reflects it at 899.00. I already own another of their signature series cables: the IC-300 Signature interconnect. The IC-300 Signature is a superb cable which made me curious at to if the mate, the AC-3 Signature power cord would be just as impressive.

Well I must say it is just as impressive. The build, fit and finish is professional and plush looking. The connectors, I am told, are the most expensive and best available. As far as performance is concerned, if you go the IC-300 Signature interconnect reviews elsewhere on this audioreview site, every thing reviewers say about it you can transfer in total to the AC-3 Signature power cord. I have copied over a few of these comments here:

“Simply put, the IC-300 Signature is the Best Interconnect i ever had the Pleasure to listen to! Neutral, Transparent and Dynamic, everything that an Audio Cable should be... it is hard to phantom why would anyone would want to Spend anymore on the Likes of Nordost, JPS, Cardas, Kimber Select and all the other Over-Hyped, Over-Priced Snake Oil Brands that the AudioIdiots Community love so much! Real Music Lovers need not look Elsewhere; the LAT IC-300 Signature is all they will ever Need. A truly Outstanding audio Product. STRENGTHS: Awsome detail, Transparency, Dynamics”

“Tonality is excellent with the 300 Signature as well as is the overall impression. I found it to be the most relaxing, most musical cable I have listened to. STRENGTHS: Very neutral, adds no coloration to the music, the background is black when there is no music. Lots of separation and sound staging.”
“tonally neutral and reveals more micro-dynamics than any other cable I've heard. Over the first hours of listening I repeatedly had to lower the volume. Not because things got louder but that they got clearer. Incredible dynamics and musicality. Effortless.”
“STRENGTHS: Tonal accuracy, spacious sound stage and depth. Phenomenal transparency and phase coherence. Superb bass, tight and controlled”.
“Their web site description of the Signature IC-300 impressed to me enough to try it. Try it I did and wow! Was I impressed. I had not heard such realism, speed, and transparency, with my JPS Aluminata or any other cables I have heard ”superb image accuracy, and neutrality; fluid and liquid smooth. STRENGTHS: Pin point image accuracy. Expansive and deep sound stage “
“STRENGTHS: Neutral, clean, fast and transparent with effortless command of the full range of music from top to bottom. Cable is dead quiet, all comes thru with no stress it is as neutral as could be, this could be detrimental in describing all other components in chain. absolutely no colorations. Enthusiastically recommended”
“STRENGTHS: Absolutely neutral as if no cable were inserted at all Beautiful burgundy finish. No sonic character thats the real deal.”
I Say, try one you won’t be disappointed; you may be amazed. I am certainly keeping it.

Strengths:
Exceeds performance of a number competing power cords I have tried; some of which were significantly more expensive.

Weaknesses:
None
