Le Power Chord!Sometimes the best things in life are the simplest. And often almost free. In my quest for designing a power chord I started with designing the plug and entire power chord assembly from the ground up. A long and laborious exercise. But recently while experimenting with some excellent components and different cables I was able to arrive at a configuration of power chord made from off the shelf components whose performance defied all logic with respect to price-point and aesthetics.
Utilising industrial grade power plugs and a slight modification to a commercially available cable it knocked the socks off power chords costing many many hundreds and thousands of dollars. The physics of why it works well is also surprisingly simple. Using heavy duty triple cores of 6 mm2 each, this cable is now available from Bocchino Technologies for the death defying price of $AUD 285.00 for any length of from 0.5 - 2 meters. For each meter >2 meters add $AUD 39.25.
What we heard amazed our ears when this power chord was placed in the system. When all components were linked with the power chord the results were staggering. Deep detailed bass, clear distinctive and well controlled highs and a mid range to die for! Other improvements were across the entire audio spectrum; quieter noise floor, greater dynamic range, better focus of instruments in the listeners acoustic space and vocals that have an "I am there with you" air and distinctiveness.
The power chord is supplied with high quality industrial grade Australian made connectors ( as we used for our evaluation and listening tests ).
