Tested. Yeah like it.

Hard to explain, but thought sound was better than with standard powercord.

Would i buy another one, yeah id buy more for my two amps. Sound i thought was a bit more controlled, clear on some notes. This cable is a 2.5mm core, massively screened and insulated cable, bigger the better i reckon.

The difference although small i think was worth it. I paid £23 for it delivered from E-bay.

I would look into big, 2.5mm powercords, screened, for my amps, but i think it look at them upto £50 each, rather than £100 each.

The biggest dissapointment was when i put my russ andrews supercube on the end of the supra powercord, didnt seem to do much...

Good upgrade, but dont go mad moneywise unless your flush. Id recommend the supra.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. Did you find you needed to burn yours in (dont laugh) if so did you notice any changes to the sound?.

I just bought one, only just plugged it in - more detail and clarity but a bit harsh - hopefully it will change with burn in. I noticed there is the 1.5 and 2.5 version. I read the 2.5 is better for amps - more current carrying ability.

Cheers,

Steve.

Im burning it in now. Only been plugged in since yesterday, see how it fares after a bit of playing time. I got the 2.5 one for my cdplayer? what size did you get?, and to what player?

I just plugged in my new tacima six way mains block, the one in the reveiws section, think im going to be very impressed with it, even more with a burn in...

more punch and bass from speakers, initial impression.

 

[stephennic]

Hi,

I got the 2.5 too. I have a consonance cd-120 linear. I also have a furutech power cord FP- 314ag and a eichmann powerboard (plug 6 punits into it) which you can plug a decent power chord into it.

Cheers,

Steve.

nice looking player, never even seen one of them before. 2010 seems to be the year for powercords.

 

[stephennic]

Hi,

Yes the year of the power cord

.

I have also a valve pre and 2 rotel reworked power amps and nad power amp, reworked B&W 330i fronts and B&W 110i rears. Kimber 8tc speaker cable, nordost BH interconnect, siltech and eichamm express 6 and chord chameleon silver plus. A 12inch sub and marantz surround sound unit too.

Cheers

Steve.

Hi,

What cable did you have? I havent heard of soniclink - cant really say? It was once reviewed in hif world mag - and gave it a nice write up - I say its been around for a few years. Its about 4 pounds a meter, for that price I like the chord speaker cable. It has a nice open treble and nice mids, tight bass. With that quality gear you need good speaker leads.

Have you compared the supra power cords to any other power cords - how does it compare with the tacima.

Cheers,

Steve.

Dave,

Just out of interest, I would not plug power amps or receivers into the Tacima, I found it robs them of a little dynamic scale. Try plugging your CDP or BRP into the socket (on the tacima) closest to the conditioning end (wall end).

Also I would suggest that the Powerchords be placed on your source equipment as that is where I have found the most difference.

With the extra current draw of the amps I would possible suggest a heavier gauge or a greater CSA cable. 🙂

Enjoy.

Hi Dave,

Sorry to go off the topic - how do you find your chord chameleon cable - just got mine. Did you find yours took awhile to burn in - ( mine is a little harsh at the moment) what change did you experience? Did you compare them to other interconnects?

Cheers,

Steve

Hi its early days yet, ill experement with the tacima and different powercords over the next week or so. Early impressions with the tacima were good.

Like ive said system's stripped down for decorating, so kit all over the place...

 

[Anonymous]

chords should come in a couple of days...

QED Silver AnniversaryXT BiWire is the cable imm using at the moment. GOT A LOAD OF IT A WHILE AGO, BUT DIDNT NEED TO BIWIRE IN THE END, SO LOADS SPARE!!!

Should E-bay rest of it really, used a bit for home cinema speakers.

Just experimenting a bit.

Thanks Dave missed that.

Steve, I have only ever bought used Chameleons so unfortunately I cannot comment upon how they sound "out of the box". However I am assuming mine are fully run in and the sound is very mature and powerful, full of detail. Excellent interconnect. Demoed a few others around the same price, but ended up sticking with what I have 🙂

Hi reggaedave,

I bought mine from a local hifi shop in Melbourne. I heard the 2.5 they dont sell as a complete unit (plugs and leads) in UK due to it not having the CE approval but I think you can buy the 2.5 off the roll though. Its cheaper in the uk, its $200 (RRP) AUS for 1.5m Supra lorad 2.5.

I just bought a Jaycar hybrid valve amp see stereonet website I did a review of it and see audioenz website too. It was a bargain at $99 AUS. If you want valve sound at a cheap price for a small system. Thanks for following up on the question for me too.

Cheers,

Steve.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback on the chords chameleons. Which interconnects did you compare them too?

Yes I think chord make good cables.

Cheers,

The Supra is quite good, I have 3 in my system, chop and change a lot as I sell power cables and keep changing to see which is better, the lo-rad 2.5mm is quite a good performer, I use furutech schuko plugs as no fuse to degrade the sound! Got 3 off e-bay a while ago and still using them in my home cinema system till I flog them and use my old and trusty nordost again!
