Remarkably Neutral ~ Musically Sublime ***New Review*** ***Dr. Bill Gaw from Enjoy the Music.com July 2009*** So how does it sound? In a word, superb. EnjoyTheMusic July 2009 The Tel Wire HC Cord features a custom 10awg Ultra Pure Ohno Continuous Cast conductor. It uses the excellent Oyaide 004 beryllium copper, platinum & palladium plated AC/IEC plugs. Benefiting from the same self-shielding geometry and special sleeving the standard Tel Wire Cord employs, both helping to keep the noise floor exceptionally low and reduce micro-vibrations. The HC Cord is amazingly dynamic with exceptional control at all points in the frequency spectrum. The cord's soundstage prowess is second to none offering excellent delineation of instruments and voices with an incredible depth and front to back layering. It will allow any amplifier it is paired with to perform at its highest level.
