No this is a complete redesign of the older pro model. And as i understand a level above the the other 2 new lines. Rick Schultz could tell you more. It does not have the carbon fiber wave guides. It's really great power cord on my Esoteric K 03x disc player. I have his Apparition speaker cables and matching XLR interconnects (2 pair). they are just outstanding in every way. I all so have some of his original High Fidelity power cord the Reference, Ultra Reference and original Pro power cord. Nice power cords but this is power cord is so much better. I have a very simple system amp, pre amp and disc player. At this time i do not stream or connect to the ethernet for any music. Happy with the way Ricks products have made my system so much better.
The New Shockwave must be something special, i see he is offering a 30 day return for a full refund. If he says it's good i would tend to believe him. He has never steered me wrong with his products and i own a lot of them. I would give it a try (nothing to lose). Maybe after hearing it in your system your need for new speakers would not be as strong. Let me know if you give it a try good luck
