This cable by Rick is very impressive. Compared to the original Pro power cord from HFC, it is much better and a step up. I own the original Pro power cord so i could compare them side by side. The original Pro is still a very nice power cord with great results. The newer re-design is better giving you more of what was great with the original.
The sound stage widen to outside the speakers, between the speakers there was a widening of space between musical instruments. Sound was much more clear sounding, sharp with great decay but not fatiguing. Just great clean sound. In the past with Ricks products the bass would take a little time to come around and it would just not be as fast as the Hi and Mids. It would improve with more time. This power cord came out swing with the bass being better than before, very fast ,deep and punchy. This power cord i feel work best at my source. I tried on the pre amp and on the power conditioner which it did very well at those spots. It was best on my SACD/CD player. Hearing very subtle improvement cross the board, enough to let you enjoy the sound even more. I feel it would really shine on a nice DAC. Very happy with this edition to my system.
Rick also has a new contact enhancement just for interconnects. Now just coming out.He sent me a small sample i have not tried it yet. Still enjoying the new power cable. It looks very different than his Q45t in color, it is very gold color with a chemical make up that is different from the Q45t and just for interconnects. Will post on it in the coming weeks.
