AQ power cords for Martin Logan

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Martin Logan speakers are deceiving when it comes to power consumption. A subwoofer in the bottom would seem to be the main benefactor of an improved power cord with the main panel only requiring a small charge. After several days with the AQs replacing the stock cords, something changed nicely with my new Ethos speakers. Hard to put a real finger or description on it, but I won't put those stock cords back in place because something snapped into better focus and warmer sound. Not cheap at a $100 each if I remember, but the Martin Logans are worthy. I always have a lot of faith in AUDIOQUEST cables.

You can't go wrong with anything Audioquest. All their cables are designed to help your music or home theater system perform at its best. Their power cables aren't any different. They're made to lessen the amount of 'noise' and impurities that are in your homes electricity. I used this to replace my Panasonic Plasma power cord. I've always believed that your HT devices are only as good as how they're connected and this is a very inexpensive way to help your products perform better.

Bought a Audio Quest power cord to replace the cheap power cord provided by Sony for the PS4 pro. All PS4 Pros have this issue and has been posted on YouTube. I noticed that the factory power cords detaches itself from the console easly with just a tap to the cord. With this issue, it can and will cause damage to the PS4 pro or TV, which I have seen first hand and already replaced both. After buying the Audio Quest power cord and replacing the original one, I noticed a major difference in quality, less distortion on the TV and console due to the lack of power being provided. I have been using this for several months with no damage to TV
or the PS4. I Highly recommend this cord to replace the stock one that Sony gives you.

I have been using Audioquest cables for many years. EVERY new electronic piece gets the Audioquest treatment. This includes HDMI, xlr, digital and power chords (none of our electronics use unbalanced rca interconnects). I use different models for different situations. I still find it amazing that even very high end equipment manufacturers use fairly base power chords or cheap rca cables. We use Audioquest on our live sound, studio sound, provideo and home audio equipment. The "blackness" of the background makes the actual production pop out. Clarity and itelligibility on vocals is critical to us and it is super with the all Audioquest set up. We don't use the highest end for most situations. That is price prohibitive, but for the money their middle priced cables produce outstanding and noticeable results everytime. HIGHLY recommended!

Brand response from AudioQuest Customer Service

Hello, thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed review. Many of the points you made are the same way I feel about the differences in my own home system using AQ cables. And you are right on about power cables, even on very expensive equipment the in the box power cords are usually not of particularly high quality. One of the easiest things you can do to improve performance is replacing the stock power cord. It really does help with the background noise and noise floor as you mentioned. Whether you get our NRG-X series cables or one of the higher models, they make a significant improvement over the stock power cords.

These power cables eliminate any detectable hum or noise. They are so great that I also installed them on the subwoofer. I was very pleased with the results. Highly recommended for any sub or receiver.
