Only $2,000 to improve your amp's performance

All that fancy "this wiring is superior to that old extension lead you're using"....

but you've not replaced any of the phases of incoming mains to the building... all you've changed is the 9ft before your amp... just think how much better it would sound if you replaced the whole national grid! and it'd only cost you penies, for the awesome difference in tone you'd get!
 
You are looking at the wrong one; the Pro version is a lot cheaper, $150. They are even endorsed by Victor Wooten. "ESSENTIAL SOUND PRODUCTS' CORDS ARE INCREDIBLE. I'VE NEVER SEEN MORE CARE AND ATTENTION PUT INTO A POWER CORD. AND YOU CAN DEFINITELY HEAR THE DIFFERENCE." Victor Wooten
My guess is the difference will be more apparent with SMPS amps.

I am very impressed with your MusicCord Pro Power Cord. Upon opening the box I was immediately taken with the stout, professional construction of the Cord, and the handy carry bag. I work in a music store and first tested it with an Ampeg B4R Pro Head & Mesa 4x10 Cab. I compared it with the stock cord and there was a profound difference in tone: fuller, punchier lows, cleaner top-end, and a general volume boost. My co-worker agreed there was no mistaking the improvement. I then took the Cord home to try in my Epifani UL-500 2x10 combo and the results were the same. A week later I took this combo out to a gig, playing my Ken Lawrence Associate 5 and Roscoe SKB-3006 fretless, and was even more thrilled with the results! I was even stuck to the right side of my rig, almost beside it (as gig spaces frequently offer), and noticed that the the improved response allowed me to hear every note for the entire night.

Thanks for manufacturing a quality product that delivers the goods for a tone fanatic like myself!

Hey! Mike!

I just wanted to tell you that I am very pleased with my power cable(C-19 type) my amp (Fender 800 PRO) bass amp sounds better than ever with tighter lows and a more focused sound.

Thanks! for a great high quality product. I'll be ordering a (C-13 type) soon! ....Peace!

Update October 18, 2009

It (C-19) is SUPER ! I wish every product was as well made as yours! My Fender 800 PRO is sounding better and better each week! EQ is no longer needed! just minor tweaks (+or- 2 db) GREAT PRODUCT.

Are you sure it's not VOODOO!

Michael,

I got to try out my new power cable yesterday - All I can say is WOW!!! I'd been thinking for quite sometime that something was wrong with my David Eden WT800C 1000 watt hybrid amp head for several months now. It tended to sound different in different locations (and I'm not referring to the acoustics of the room); I had never stopped to think that my power supply may have had anything to do with it. I thought perhaps it was due to the wear and tear of gigging/touring, the fact that it's been knocked over at least once in the past 2 years since I got it, the fact that I think my fan stopped working, maybe the tube in the preamp needed replacing, etc, etc.

In a nutshell - it was my power cable.... when I hooked yours up to my head - I could hear IMMEDIATELY the difference in the quality of my tone and presence. It virtually sounded as though I had turned my gain from 3 to 5 "just like that"!!! I was pushing significantly more db's and the SPL was considerably improved. Everyone noticed the change - not right away, but by the end of two sets - everyone knew there was a change (and one person had even said to me when I first showed it to them "are you sure that will make any difference?"

From here on out I am a proud owner of your MusicCord-PRO Power Cord, 2-meters. I will gladly let anyone know what a fantastic product you have and that it merits the investment.

Maybe Victor should endorse these too.

we have some pretty impressive kettle leads selling for £1200 over here for true audiophiles, that offer aastonishing improvements in response and clarity, yet still the real issue of dirty electricity and corroded wires spanning miles of damp countryside have never been really addressed.
A fool and their money.....
