Michael D. Griffin of Essential sound Products (ESP) presented "After-Market Power cords: "Snake Oil" or Legitimate Audio Accessory?" followed by Schuyler Quackenbush of Audio Research Labs and Thomas Sporer of Fraunhofer with "MP3 Can Sound Good". Griffin began his tutorial by stating after-market IEC cables do comprise a category of "controversial products" in the audio industry, but went on to present audio examples to support the use of his own ESP MusicCord in audio production environments. Two versionsof the same stereo mix - via na Allen & Heath MixWizard with and without an ESP IEC cord--prompted some attendees to acknowledge that an audio improvement was apparent in the ESP-assisted mix. Newt, Griffin offered Samplitude Pro X spectrograms of material recorded with and without an ESP IEC. Though slight, there were obvious visual differences between the two spectrograms. Note: Audio samples used for this demonstration can be downloaded and listened to here. |

2007 CES - DAY 3 | |||||

Then it was over to the beautiful business suites of the Venetian Hotel for the audiophile equipment companies I'd never visited before, because they were far away at the Alexis Park Hotel at previous CES shows... A highlight was Essential Sound Products Inc. of Rochester, started in 1995 by music lover Michael Griffin, a 25-year General Motors employee. Griffin took a buyout from GM in 2005 to devote full time to the business, which is now ready for mass production of its high end power supply cords that minimize distortion in audio equipment |
