Absolute Sound Review of PowerChord, November 2002


“Whatever is going on here, the thing works. I experimented with my Balanced Audio Technology VK-D5 CD player, VK-3i preamp, and VK-6200 multi-channel amplifier, and in each case heard improvements to the noise floor (less garble and grunge), dynamic range (in both low-level nuance and high-level impact), and overall clarity and detail. Music’s sense of time improved, too. The thing doesn’t cost a fortune, either.”

Stereo Times Reviews of PowerChord, August 2002, December 2000


“The essential set of enhancements to be discovered from the Audience “powerChord” can all be grouped within that elusive notion of MUSICALITY. I’ve not yet heard any power chord that accomplishes such an engaging reinforcement of genuinely musical values — the pace, relaxation, and tonal elements that define the heart of seductive musical experiences — at such a modest price.”
Jim Merod : Most Wanted Components – Aug’ 02  Print Version

“Designed as a high current, low impedance cable, it compares with or surpasses the top of the heap.”

Audio Musings Reviews for PowerChord, 2001


“I was shocked… Backgrounds are blacker. Highs are sweeter. Bass lines are better defined. Vocals have great tone without heavy colorations. Most importantly, my system was more musical.”
Carlos Flores – Issue #14 – ’01 Read Full Review

“I heard a sweetness and open musical flow that I did not hear with my other power cords. If you are in the market for a good power cord, this is a place to start.”
Francisco Duran -Issue #14 – ’01 Read Full Review

“Immediately, the pace was more musical. The rough edge was gone and voices were sweeter and smoother. While richer, the sound was more natural with more body. The bass took on a seemingly more powerful sound with more energy. It was also more defined and controlled. The music in general seemed to blend into a deliberately molded whole with a delicate laying of the sound. Where it was chaotic before, images and instruments become rock solid in their space and overall coherency was restored. Dynamics improved especially micro dynamics.”
