The Essence Reference-II Power Cord Features & Benefits

Satisfaction Guarantee Limited Lifetime Warranty
NEW! Premium Furutech Plugs, Connector Selection of plug and connector components and termiantion process is critically important to realizing all the performance the cable affords. By performing our own pre-processing and substitution of plug and connector parts, we were able to transform purchased plug and connector assemblies into high-performance components. However, the base metal was brass, an alloy that is only about 2/3 copper. This means 1/3 of the material is in electrical terms - a contaminant.

Specialty audiophile plug and connector manufacturers have made genuine performance advancements. After extensive evaluation of samples from several manufacturers, Essential Sound Products selected Furutech plugs and connectors with terminal blades and pins made from pure, unplated, high-purity copper. These components are the perfect compliment to the Reference cable line/neutral conductors, which are also high-purity copper. The result is improved performance in every dimension! With The Essence Reference-II throughout, your system will achieve an exciting new level of sonic realism!


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. Read more about ESP patented power cable technology.

Shielding To Prevent EMI and RFI Distortions

Our maximum 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 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 Treatment to -300oF

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-II Power Distributor

The design features of The Essence Power System extend to a matching power distribution strip. The Essence Reference-II Power Distributor includes a hard-wired Reference-II power cord. Simply put, The Essence Reference-II Power Distributor can be thought of as a Reference-II power cord with 8-outlets and surge suppression.
