Features and Performance Benefits

The features outlined below are what give The Essence REFERENCE Power Cord and POWER DISTRIBUTOR their unique performance benefits when connected to your audio/video equipment:

PATENTED* MULTI-CONDUCTOR GEOMETRY Conductors spacing has been optimized in our patented cordage geometry design to improve fundamental electrical properties. Our Essential Lay construction has no air gaps or soft filler materials. This stabilizes the cordage cross section through its length, and helps maintain the cord’s geometric integrity and electrical performance even when it is bent. The results are enhanced image clarity and focus in the soundstage through resonance control.

SHIELDING TO PREVENT RFI INTERFERENCE DISTORTION Our 95% coverage, braided copper shield effectively blocks radio frequency interference (RFI) from being picked up by the cord. This shield is also effective at containing the electro-magnetic field generated by the current flow within the cord. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) can cause distortions in nearby interconnects and speaker cables.

PROPRIETARY CONNECTOR COMPONENTS AND TERMINATION PROCESS provides the lowest possible contact resistance. The purchased plugs and connectors used for The Essence literally undergo a transformation to enhance their performance prior to assembly. After termination, each connector is epoxy filled to hermetically seal the internal components, preventing oxidation, and providing maximum mechanical integrity for years of trouble-free performance.

DEEP CRYOGENIC PROCESSING to –300 degrees Fahrenheit of each completed cord and power strip assembly. Cryogenic processing alters materials at the molecular level. This permanent, irreversible process releases residual stresses, and alleviates the negative effects of crystalline grain boundaries in copper and brass. This process effects a measurable reduction in the cord’s resistively for improved current flow. The result is an utterly “transparent” soundstage background.

The Essence REFERENCE is a cord that retains the characteristic performance qualities of its lineage; “true-to-live” dynamics, natural harmonics, precise soundstaging, and resolution. The REFERENCE"raises the bar" to a previously unattained performance level. Those familiar with previous versions will appreciate the wholesale performance improvements afforded by the REFERENCE. These improvements include greater soundstage realism with noticeable enhancements in depth, width, and height dimensions. The REFERENCE affords more bass extension and control, particularly in the mid-bass frequency range. Improvements in overall resolution provide more space or "air" around individual voices and instruments, and a palpable dimensionality of images within the soundstage.

EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE...

ENHANCED VIDEO More “pop” - improved sharpness, contrast, and color saturation for more realistic images!

EXPLOSIVE DYNAMICS & TRANSIENT SPEED From percussion, to brass, to strings, to vocals, macro-dynamics have “true-to-live” energy without compromising timbral accuracy and control!

EXTENDED RANGE AT BOTH FREQUENCY EXTREMES Deeper bass and more extended treble!

GREATER RESOLUTION Room acoustics are more apparent and micro-dynamics more delicate and natural.

Experience The Essence REFERENCE but be warned:

One listen, and nothing else will do.
