Why oh why, Peter?
I don't get it. You've designed some of the most wonderfully exquisite, miniature audio components I've ever seen. Who the hell's idea was it to make such a complete and utter mockery of such an otherwise beautiful aesthetic by shoving those donkey dick-sized power cords into them? Whomever it was, I'd do a deep background check on them and make sure they're not a 47 Labs mole. ![]() se |

Thanks for the laugh, Steve. That is truly horrendous!

Well, I wasn't there at the Show, but from what I hear the synergy between speakers, amps and CD player (and of course cables) was increadible and the whole system sounded great.
The cables are fron Dynamic Design (based in Chicago) and quite expensive. What you see there in a picture was $4k worth of cables. The speakers used were Reference 3A, Virtuoso. But looking at the pics, I wish I made AC connections on the other side |

Though I bet you could achieve the same or better with something that doesn't end up looking like some bizarre technophilic Tijuana peep show. Don't discount the power of first impressions. I know you generally don't or else you'd just be stuffing electronics into nondescript black boxes. I put the challenge to you to before the next show, come up with a power cord which will give equal or better performance than those... things, but which is more befitting the aesthetics of your designs.

![]() It's no wonder they're so expensive. The designer must have spent a considerable amount of time coming up silly acronyms for everything. To begin with, all cables use what Olu calls Remote Control Multi-Layer™ (RCML™) dual-purpose jackets. These jackets help to dampen and protect the cable assembly. He also uses Unitized Multi-Layer Shielding™ (UMLS™) for its low impedance transfer characteristics, high reflectivity, and absorption of unwanted wide bandwidth noise. The conductors he uses are called High Purity Bi-Metal™ (HPBM™) and Ultra-High Purity Bi-Metal™ (UHPBM™) for ultra-low resistance and uniform conductivity across all frequencies. His Multi-Layered Insulation System™ (MLIS™) offers high propagation velocity speeds as a result of extremely low dielectric constants and very low energy storage. ![]() Sorry. Haven't had much sunshine here lately and I'm a bit more cynical than usual. se |

FWIW, I didn't have any influence on cables choices there, but I'm glad they worked well

One thing for sure, the amps sounded extraordinary in my system that uses audio-quest reference cables on KEF custom-reference speakers. No word. The amps are absolute wonders.

forget about the power cables ... let's see some more close up pictures of the components ...
