Hifial,
Thank you for the kind words. Indeed, these power cords started their development intended for Class D amps, specifically Merrill's lovely Veritas monoblocs. Merrill provided me a pair of the monoblocks and I endeavored to make an cord specifically for this product. Upon settling upon a topology, I made multiple cords, optimized for their specific lengths, as well as the derived the resultant formulas for optimizing for any reasonable, arbitrary length. (Yes, a Whitepaper will inevitably follow.)
Merrill (the Man) retrieved his amps, which was unfortunate, as I was really enjoying their visit. But he only took 2 of the development cords, 6 footers, which he ultimately sent on to you. I had 7 cords left over, in 3 different lengths that sounded the same, leastwise with Merrill's amps. So I slotted them into my own system, alternating between my own Ncore 400 based amp and Hugh Dean's AKSA Lifeforce 140 wpc, a 'blameless' class AB amp with a linear supply. In addition, they fed my own Alchemist power conditioner, C.A.T. SL-1 mkIII preamp, and EAR Acute III CD player/DAC. Long story short, what was an OEM cord for Merrill Audio, is now my Waveform Fidelity HE mk3 power cord. This wasn't surprising as the topology is the same as my HE mkII, but used a newer, better set of plugs and IECs, and re-optimized. These are not specifically digital power cords, but simply the best cords I can currently build at this price point, regardless.
I can only suggest you try them on other components.
Warm regards,
