Mains Lead Demo

[admin_exported]

Hi folks. I've been busy testing a Clearer Audio Silver Line Power lead today and thought I'd share my findings. Quite an impressive cable out of the box and looks good (like that's really important but anyways). Plug end reminds me of a shower head adding to that wow factor. So I tested it on my power amp and CDP so far and this is what I thought. Power Amp - Played one track over and over switching between the original lead and the Clearer Audio Silver Line (CASL) lead after each track. Couldn't hear much if any difference initially but after a while began to notice a slight compression to the music. Very disappointed. Did this with other tracks and found the same thing. Although not drastically different I was kinda looking for an improvement ( shock, horror!) so definitely unimpressed so far. CDP - Again played the same track blah blah switching over leads blah blah and hallelujah!!! There's something very noticeably different here. Firstly noticed an immediate openess to the sound using the C.A.S.L vs the normal lead. (less compressed, more analogue sounding). I've done this more times than is healthy and am satisfied that it seems to allow more space between instruments/notes. Secondly i seemed to notice more detail probably as a result of the first finding (openess). You know- when the singer takes a breath etc etc, definitely more noticeable. Thirdly the bass was much stronger. Only noticed this when I switched discs to something with err lots of bass. Found this a bit off-putting at first but I like it. Its not overbearing, the bass extension is significantly improved and the bass weight / and punchiness is markedly improved too. Overall with the CDP it's spectacular. I miss it when its not there. I'll test it on my pre-amp tomorrow ( my back is killing me) and post my findings To be frank the improvement I get when plugged into the CDP is impressive. Promised myself not to make a definitive decision until i've had it a week but its looking good. Seems to be component specific.

Hello Jaxon5, Your experience of the Silver-line Power Cable on your amplifier is known to us. Usually the Silver-line Power Cable works exceptionally well on any type of component in most systems. We have however had some customers report that performance on power amplifiers specifically has been less successful; this is rare however with approximately 5% of customers reporting this issue. Some customers have found that performance improves significantly after a few weeks of use (approximately 200 hours of use). The Silver-line Power Cable does excel on CD players and pre-amplifiers and as you point out the issue you have found seems to be component specific - albeit only in some systems - but there other variables at play including to name but a few; listening preferences, speaker placement and room dynamics. In most circumstances using a Copper-line Power Cable on the power amplifier will usually provide improvements that you have found on your CD player. Please do not hesitate to contact me on 01702 543981 and I will be more than pleased to discuss the matter further with you and offer any assistance possible. Customer feedback is extremely useful and we value it tremendously. Kind regards, Darren

Hello Darren. Thanks for your reply. I tried the Silver-line Power Cable on the pre amp and posted it in the Hifi forum. In short it was sensational. Biggest improvement was the noise-floor reduction that TBH I didn't know was there. Different from the CDP benefits I described but equally impressive.I'm planning to get hold of another one in the near future!!
