DCT Treatment of powerkords review, AlienRik, Idc etc

[Anonymous]

Hi Jase

Dont want to dwell too much on this but is there any reason why you do not use a Powercord on your amp?

Do you use them on your Subs and Plasma?

I recently bought one of these powercords for my sub. I know its a bit cheesy, but it really is like a new sub, tighter bass, more tuneful. Its lost its occasional boominess so yes, it seems to work on subs. Definately recommended.

Sitting at home today waiting for my new Tannoy Revolution Signature DC6s to turn up. Christmas is a couple of weeks late for me this year, twitcing with excitement lol.

Jase,

What sort of powerhub/extension are you using? After reading your comments I'm thinking about buying the powercords. I currently have a cleareraudio copperline alpha powerhub and am wondering if I need to upgrade it to benefit from the improvements that the powercord will provide.

Sorry lesmor, i should of mentioned that yes i still use a powerkord on my amp but i use The Reference powerkord with that (the next one up from the classic) with 350i wattgate & DCT treated ! And the difference that kord makes to an amp is night & day.

Mr Fox, you said louder, but was the quality of sound any better? I ask becoz if it was just louder, I will save 76.50 and just turn my volume knob up.

Hi Pittodriered, im currently using an OLSON sound fantastic 8 way mains block which recieved very high praised reviews and rightly so. I believe your powerhub should be fine as the mains cable is the most important, ive tried over the years different types of mains extensions and i must say i found them very difficult to tell them apart, its much easier and more noticable with powerkords.

Garland Genoho:Mr Fox, you said louder, but was the quality of sound any better? I ask becoz if it was just louder, I will save 76.50 and just turn my volume knob up.

This is a very good point what your saying here Garland, like ive said previously the loudness is very noticable from the start & i thought to myself the way around that is to just maybe turn the volume up myself, so yes id already thought of that one.

But whilst watching Braveheart on bluray (which ive demod and watched many times) the scene were wallaces father & brother go into the barn with which they discover theyve all been hanged, you can hear the creeking of the ropes all around, now even though ive been used to that i noticed that the creeking was more highly enhanced in the surround speakers to the point were i thought that my speakers were playing up, static of some kind then i realised it was the ropes creeking in the movie, i was well pleased that improvements seem to be happening on audio quality to.

Id give it a go, what you got to lose? If you dont notice anything you can send it back for a refund.

Cheers Jase, Thanks for the reply. I'm seriously thinking of buying these after your review and comments. Looks like the bank account's away to take another hammering this month!!

Yes i agree True Blue, RA staff are very polite, some of the best i know.

Well the powerkord-8 im very pleased with, as its adding so much more depth to the picture, colours seem richer & more detail so overall impressed so far, i hope you get the same result mate?

And as for the DCT classic? Its working wanders on my bluray player, ive been doing lots of demos with various discs & the sharpness is brilliant, its so noticable u dont even have to look for it and the sound quality is so much more louder & punchier, great stuff !!!

I await your verdict True Blue...

i have a question , if powerkords enhance the performance of tvs , why are they not sold with them ?? given that competition is so fierce , im not being argumentative , it seems common sense..

Ive thought this for a long time maxflinn, but for some reason they dont. Ive even read in manuals for bluray players etc were they say "u may want to consider getting a more higher grade HDMI cable for better picture quality? Strange as youd think theyd supply a much better cable, interconnect etc especially when they work & do produce better quality in both vision & sound.
