John.......The electrical contracting business can turn a sane man into a maniac in no time at all, as I am sure you know. Our training through the years has taught us to be skeptical of things unseen, and to be ever vigilant. I had a mind set about after market power cables that kept me convinced that there was no way the last six feet of ANY cable between the wall outlet and an amplifier could make an audible difference. You can always spot the skeptics. They're the ones with their arms crossed on their chest, leaning back slightly, with a facial expression that says, Yea, right! Until I had the opportunity to audition the Wireworld Silver Electra Power Cable I was your classic skeptic.
I swapped out the factory power cords on my pair of MC501 amps to the Silver Electra power cables, all the while telling myself this is all BS, and I wasn't going to hear a thing. Then the music began to play. My first reaction was, "Where the heck was that extra degree of bass timbre coming from?" The bottom two octaves tightened up in a manner that was immediately audiable, and extremely pleasant. I honestly could not believe it, so back on went the stock power cords. Guess what? The special texture of the bass tones, the woody timber of the acoustic bass was deminished. The bass was still good, but the improvements I had just experienced with the Wireworld Silver Electra power cords was absent. So, back on with the Silver Electra power cables, and back into my system came the texture and timbre that I had never heard before. Holly molly, these damn power cords actually work, and sound great. Damn it, now I was going to have to buy them. I went from complete skeptic, to enthusiastic believer in a matter of two hours. I now have the 2 meter Wireworld Silver Electra power cables on two MC501's and one MC352, the C1000C, MS750, two MCD500's, C2300, XLS112 sub, and a JBL LSR6312SP sub. I am going to add one more Silver Electra power cord to my new PS Audio Power Plant Premier.
I won't pretend that I completely understand the science, engineering or proprietary materials used to manufacture these power cables. What I can say is they improved my sound system enough to make the investment, and feel it is worthwhile. The amplifiers seemed to show the largest improvement in sound, and that improvement alone convinced me that every source component would also benefit from these power cords.
Do yourself a favor. Put the Wireworld Silver Electra power cord on your amp. It won't take long to decide if you like it or not. My guess is you will keep it.
