Getting one Friday night (hopefully)

Evan - it is burning in as I type this. In addition to the High Current burn-in, I procured a "FryCorder" from Jim Hagerman from Hagerman Labs. It's a burn-in signal generator for power cords sweeping 10 Hz to 200 Hz. Tom Mazz's cord got the first treatment. Yours will get some too...

BobM & I are Taking to Train to Brooklyn (sounds like a song?) on Friday afternoon. You'll get your cord on Friday as long as "the Lord is willing & the creek don't rise"  :lmc:   :pop

Cheers,
Pete

Pete,

I have put some serious hours on the cord since I got it and I haven't noticed much of a break in improvement as of yet. Not that this is a bad thing since it sounded great from the second I put it in. I think this means that the combination of your break-in plus the Hagerman treatment is really doing a good job.

First time poster here at AN but all the positive chatter I've read here about these NOS WE cables convinced me to try one too.  I've got a Majik Buss ordered from PI Audio and I just sent my payment off for an 8 awg from Pete to feed it. Looking forward to it like a kid at Christmas!  :-P

I got an 8g and 10g power cable from Pete last night and waiting for the sun to rise to give them a whirl. Thanks Pete :thumb:

I only have an hour or so of listening on my Triode Wire Labs' 8 ga.  To set the stage, I am using it for my Digital Amp Co Cherry Plus, a very high power Class D amp w/ massive linear transformer. (I think that's the term) to drive original Von Schweickert VR4 JRs. Previously I was using either a Pangea AC-9 or a Black Sands Silver Ref MK V.  No power conditioning at all, straight to wall.

I tended to keep putting the Pangea back in vs. the Black Sand as the bass with the Pangea seemed just that much deeper and tighter. And while I feel the Cherry is a fine amp across the spectrum, its bass and midbass performance (depth and articulation) is where it really shines.

So I put in the TWL (am I the first to use "TWL"?) cord and - no disappointment in the bass dept at all. Still verrrry deep with great definition.

Through the midrange there seems to be (relative to Pangea) a greater emphasis on the non-notes. What I mean is that harmonics, decay, ambience, small background details are more prominent relative to the "main event" - As though the Pangea got the big stuff right but not so much the little stuff like the TWL does. I like it - it is a more nuanced presentation.

I don't want to imply that the highs are not extended - they are - but this is not a WOW LOOK AT ME MOM powercord - something that the super-clean Cherry appreciates.

So far, so good.

Service and communication were excellent. Thanks Pete.

Mike exactly what I'm experiencing. Have been listening for about a 1/2 hr. Joe just stopped by and thought the same thing.
