Less glare on midrange/now almost now artifacts/fatigue on even poor recording; noticeable increase in dynamic range, amp seems to produce more power, instruments performing the same lines in harmony now can be more easily discerned as separate. You can follow any particular instrument through the whole track without instruments getting lost in the mix. This is the biggest single cable upgrade I ever done. I absolutely believe the Gen5 Reference and above power products is spectacular and dollar for dollar provides more improvement than speaker cords and interconnect. Slam dunk.

My new philosophy is power system to Reference level first, then pick components and other cables. You can’t get enough Gen 5 power conditioning.

I agree
The Transparent Gen. 5 power cables make everything sound better that they are connected to. Soon I am ordering two more of them.
Another surprise for me was how much positive change the Transparent ethernet cable made when connected to my streaming DAC.
