Question for Acrolink / Mexcell power cord owners ; especially the 7N PC 9900 model

Hello Audiogoners - a quick question on the above mentioned power cord. I am looking into this power cord for my Esoteric Grandioso K1x CD player and would like to know your thoughts on the sonic characteristics of this power cord. If you have listened to it please let me know and if you did not buy one and possibly went with something I would also appreciate that information. Thank you in advance.

Just to add. Apart from the power cord, the quality of wall outlet will also matter. In my system, the Furutech GTX-D NCF combined with the Acrolink cords truly elevated my system to a higher level of performance.

I just saw this thread. I rarely visit the Cable thread these days and mostly hang out on the Amp and Speaker threads. I don’t have experience with the 7N PC9900 which I believe is the top of the line Acrolink cord. However, I do have the older PC9700 and PC8100.

I just love what the Acrolink cords do in my system. I would recommend to try at least one of the Acrolinks in the system. They surely do not sound strident or analytical. Their house sound is rather warm, smooth and full-bodied with a nice airy tube-like glow in the treble. The Acrolink cords made all my cheaper cords sound grainy and harsh in comparison (Supra Lorad, Wireworld Elektra 7 etc.)

The latest PC9900 should be an improvement over the PC8100 and 9700. Based on my positive experiences with the 9700 and 8100, I suspect the 9900 would have a higher chance of bringing satisfaction rather than disappointment.

A note is these Acrolink cords are rather stiff and cannot be bent into a small radius.


Good luck.
