You can spend a lot more on a power cable than this one, (like, a whole LOT more) but you'll pay an exorbitant amount for only slightly better performance than this power cable. I've since learned that OCC grade copper is better than the OFC grade in this model, and very obvious when listening, but it's twice as expensive. Had I known this, I wouldn't have purchased this cable and would have gone with one of AudioQuests higher end cables for the additional money.

I have always doubted that a power cable would make a difference in what you hear coming from your speakers. I finally gave it a try and much to my surprise there is indeed a change in what I hear . A big improvement in bass response is what I hear and what another person noted, who knew not of the cord being installed. Maybe it's not "Snake oil".

If you are buying a home theater speaker set up make sure you carve out some money in your budget for quality cabling. Originally was going to buy def techs and get 5 of these for receiver, sub, towers, and center but ended up going with the nicest Klipsch had to offer on a sweet deal and just getting two, one for sub and one for receiver because the Klipsch don't use (or need) the built in bass radiators like the def techs have. My advice is to buy your system and get great audioquest cabling and average rocketfish or monster cabling and compare. Then if you don't notice a difference then return the expensive audioquest stuff and throw the rocketfish in the trash and get average audioquest cabling. Mostly because I believe that you are still wrong if you say you didn't notice a difference and the audioquest will perform better long-term anyway. Buy nice cables for a similar reason you buy quality tires for your car (it's the only part of your car that actually touches the road). Your audio spends more time and distance in the cables than anywhere else.

Birthday present to myself as I'm slowly rebuilding system lost in divorce. For now using it for my Marantz SR6014. Did notice a drop in the noise floor. Will know more as rest of system improves

The craftsmanship is stunning. The weight alone makes you wow...when your taking it out of the box. Huge Audioquest fan. Have entire setup is with vodka cables . Worth every penny

I was amazed at how much a power cord can improve the performance for a home theater setup. Hook this up to a high end AVR, subwoofer or blu ray player and you will hear the difference in the audio. I was skeptical, but after testing it out I highly recommend it for home theater enthusiasts.

I added one to my Panamax, Pioneer receiver and subwoofer. Can definitely hear a sound quality difference from my set up as a hole. These cables are giant in diameter compared to the tiny cables that are provided with equipment. Quality of the cable is everything you would expect from Audioquest.

Expesive however definitely noticed less noise hiss when no media was playing. Recommend if you have the money. Good cables mean less distortion period.

If you own good quality audio products, amplifiers, subwoofers, sound bars and you’re using the power cable that comes in the box then you’re doing it all wrong. Replace any power cables for those products with an audioquest cable its a massive upgrade for performance, also grab a powerquest power conditioner from them while you’re at it. Stellar products l, amazing performance upgrades at a reasonable price. Highly recommend if you like better audio quality from your products.
