How's your mother?

Hi Tim,in my home theatre system consisting of Rotel electronics, I found the Mother to work best on my pre/pro.I also had it sounding good on my amp, but in my system, there was too much of a good thing and the combination sounded a little "bleached" out. I experimented with other cords and found the Shunyata Taipan to work best on the amp. This combination sounds the most natural and musical to me( in my system).I have tried a lot of ic's and power cords and they are definitely system dependent. Experimentation is the best policy with cables to get that synergism-effect for your ears.Have some fun.

I love mine, I have it on my Odyssey Stratos. There is a Zu forum at www.harmonicdiscord.com there is a topic dedicated to the mother.

My mom is a saint, thanks for asking.

Thanks for the help so far guys.

Tireguy,

The Elrod powercord that is recommended for all lower current components such as digital front ends, preamps and even small single ended amps is either the standard EPS #2 or the EPS #2 Signature. Both are now available.

Regards,
Tony

The Zu Mother has some remarkable qualities: it's tight, fast, clear, with razor sharp transients-- all the best attributes of silver construction. In my audio system (largely solid state), I liked its clarity but ultimately found I prefered Shunyatas. I suspect it blends best with somewhat darker systems and/or tube systems, not so well with my Audio Research equipment. I love the Shunyata cords, and currently use a Black Mamba on my cd player, a Sidewinder Gold on my preamp, and a BMI WHale ELite MK II on my amp. The Mother does a splendid job running the PS Audio Ultimate Outlet into which I plug my video equipment: it provides a stunningly sharp picture.
