Silver-plated Copper Mains cable MK4 (1m)
This latest version of our silver-plated copper mains cable offers a specification unmatched anywhere near the price, and is ideally suited to any type of hifi or home cinema component, regardless of power requirements.
Specifications:
- 7 x 16 AWG (7 x 1.3mm²) silver-plated copper solid-core conductors - equivalent to 11 AWG signal conductors
- PTFE Teflon air-spaced insulation with spiralled cable geometry
- Silver-plated SCHURTER IEC plug - cryo treated
- Silver-plated 13a mains plug
- Large diameter ferrite noise filter
- All plugs contacts treated with Cardas contact conditioner
- Custom lengths available at £5 per extra 0.25m (minimum length 1m)
Despite its modest price, we benchmarked the cable against far costlier competitors, with favourable results. It sounds cleaner and better defined than the Russ Andrews 'Classic PowerKord' (£60/1m) and similar in overall performance to the TCI 'Constrictor' (£100/1m) & Russ Andrews 'Reference PowerKord' (£125/1m). The cable will take around 100 hours+ to burn-in fully.
All of our cables are designed and built totally from the ground up - we don't partake in the practice of dressing up generic 'off-the-reel' cabling from companies such as Belden, which can be sourced at little expense. Please also be aware that many sellers include the keywords 'Pure Silver' or 'Silver' in their auction listings for effect (then provide silver-plated or standard copper conductors - always check this to be certain); all of our cables use genuine silver-plated copper or pure silver conductors. Whilst we are happy to give our opinion on the sound of our cables and how they perform, the best recommendation are our many customer testimonials (this avoids us having to make silly claims like 'Best XYZ on eBay'), and below are a selection specifically for this silver-plated copper range (eBay ID in red):
- 'TYL777' - "THE POWER LEAD IS BRILLIANT. PUTS MY YELLO CABLE TO SHAME."
- 'SURFINGSHARITY' - "I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE SOUND (DYNAMIC AND POWERFUL, YET VERY OPEN); EXCELLENT JOB!"
- 'SUENNIO' - “THE CABLE IS NOW PLUGGED INTO THE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER AND...IT'S FANTASTIC! I HEAR A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY DIY CORD IN ALL AREAS! THE SOUNDSTAGE IS LARGER AND MORE DETAILED AND ALSO THERE IS MORE DEPTH, BUT THE TWO THINGS THAT HAVE REALLY HIT ME ARE THE DEEP (BUT CONTROLLED) BASS AND THE NATURE OF THE REPRODUCTION (VOICE, DRUM, GUITAR...).”
- 'PHLPPIP' - "IT WAS INDEED BETTER THAN THE CAD BLOCK IN MY OPINION"...."I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE BUILD QUALITY"
- 'JOHNCRAIGBROWN' - "I DEFINITELY FEEL THAT THE MUSIC HAS A LOT MORE ROOM TO BREATHE SO THAT YOU CAN HEAR MORE OF THE SUBTLE VARIATIONS."
- 'FARTYPOPS' - "BASS SEEMS TO BE EVEN CLEANER AND BETTER DEFINED, NOISE FLOOR IS LOWER, TREBLE IS STILL SWEET, NO SPITCHINESS. BASICALLY IT'S MAKING MUSIC!"
- 'LIMEY213' - "EXCELLENT CABLE, DEFINITE IMPROVEMENT STRAIGHT OFF. 'KIMBER CRUSHER!'. AAA++++"..."THE FIRST THING THAT STRUCK ME WAS THE IMPRESSIVE BUILD QUALITY FOR THE PRICE. SONICALLY, THE NOISE FLOOR SEEMS TO HAVE LOWERED AND THE SOUND IS SMOOTHER WITHOUT CHANGING THE TONAL BALANCE"
- 'MITSIBOSHER' - "GREAT CABLE, BETTER THAN YELLO. FAST DELIVERY A++ EBAYER."
- 'AIW747' - "REGARDING THE CABLE, THE ONE BEFORE THIS ONE (MK2) I USED ON MY SONY LCD TV MADE AN INSTANT IMPROVEMENT TO THE SOUND AND PICTURE QUALITY BUT WHEN THIS NEW ONE ARRIVED (MK3) I CHANGED THEM OVER AND IT WAS AN EVEN BETTER IMPROVEMENT; THE SOUND WAS EVEN MORE DEFINED."…."GREAT SELLER, LATEST REVISION SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT. FAST DELIVERY 5++++++++++"...."WONDERFULLY PACKAGED AND A BEAUTIFULLY MADE CABLE"
- 'JOHNV230341' - "VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE MAINS BLOCK. JUST AS I HAD HOPED - VERY OPEN SOUND AND VERY FAST - SUITS THE CYRUS AMP DOWN TO THE GROUND!"
- 'FLYMETOTHEMOON00' - "THE BEST UPGRADE I'VE MADE SINCE PUTTING A NEW CLOCK AND ANALOGUE SECTION IN MY CD PLAYER, BUT AT THE FRACTION OF THE PRICE"
- 'ACMFROST' - "MAINS BLOCK SOUNDS CLEANER THAN ANDREWS' YELLO, GREAT PRICE, GREAT EBAYER+++
- 'ROGER138MUSIC' - "INITIAL IMPRESSIONS ARE VERY GOOD EVEN WITHOUT AMP AND CD WARMED UP - SO PROMISING START - PERHAPS A BIT MORE FOCUS AND CLARITY AND PRECISION BUT STILL NICE AND WARM. BEAUTIFULLY MADE TOO."…"THE CABLES ARE WELL BURNT IN NOW, AND I AM VERY IMPRESSED. THERE'S DEFINITELY MORE CLARITY AND DEFINITION, AND MORE FOCUS - LESS 'MUSHINESS' - NO DOUBT AS A RESULT OF BEING SUPERIOR TO THE YELLO CABLES, AND ALSO COUNTERBALANCING THE EFFECTS OF THE MINI SUB TO AN EXTENT. OVERALL THERE'S AN AIR OF PRESENCE AND SENSE OF DETAIL WHICH CAN BE AT TIMES QUITE REMARKABLE AND SURPRISING."
- 'AUSTINA30' - "SUPER PERSONALISED SERVICE. MADE EXACTLY TO MY REQUIREMENTS IN FAST TIME. A1"
- 'JARED_GREEN' - "THE SOUND IMPROVEMENT IS ON A PAR WITH THE IMPROVEMENT WHEN I BI-AMPED THE SPEAKERS, AND IT APPEARS TO BE GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME."
- 'ROLLEYE' - "THE IEC CABLE HAS BEEN FITTED TO MY VALVE POWERED HEADPHONE AMP (I USE SENNHEISER 650'S) AND THIS HAS MADE AN IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT OVER THE STANDARD 'KETTLE CONNECTOR'"
- 'JAMES4088' - "OVERALL THE SOUND WITH YOUR BLOCK IS MUCH CLEARER, PAINTING MUCH 'SHARPER' PICTURES WHEREBY EACH NOTE (SAY ON THE PIANO) IS CLEARLY DELINEATED AND EACH INSTRUMENT IS EASIER TO FOLLOW. THE DYNAMICS ARE NOTICEABLY BETTER, WITH THE QUIET SECTIONS MORE INKY BLACK THAN BEFORE AND GENERALLY THE SOUND IS MORE OPEN AND PUNCHIER. THE BASS GUITAR IS ALSO IMPROVED AND HAS MUCH BETTER DEFINITION AND DEPTH.
- 'BEEGRAIGS' - "THE POWER CABLES MAKE A REAL IMPROVEMENT WHEN THEY ARE USED WITH PRE-AMP AND CD PLAYER - MUCH CLEANER MID-BAND AND SURPRISINGLY IT LIFTS THE TOP END AS WELL. ALL THIS SEPARATION BODES WELL FOR THE SOUNDSTAGE AND ALLOWS OTHER SOUNDS THAT PREVIOUSLY WERE LOST IN THE BACKDROP TO BE HEARD WITH THE OVERALL SOLIDITY OF INSTRUMENTS TAKING A SIGNIFICANT STEP FORWARD."
- 'PLCOLLECT' - "WELL THE CABLE HAS BEEN COOKED AND I'VE BEEN TRYING IT ON THE LEXICON ALL DAY. IT SHINES HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE STOCK CABLE NOW. EVEN PRO-LOGIC SOURCES SOUND GREAT. HAVE YOU SEEN THE 'RETURN OF THE KING' PROMO FOR SKY £££ OFFICE? THE SINGING THERE IS HAUNTINGLY REAL THROUGH MY SYSTEM NOW. THANKS FOR A GREAT CABLE."
- 'UDON001' - "ALREADY AFTER INSTALLING IT I CAN HEAR A DIFFERENCE! THE SOUND HAS A MUCH SMOOTHER EDGE WITH GREATER DEFINITION BETWEEN THE SOUNDS. AFTER THE FULL BURN-IN I'M SURE THE SOUND WILL BE AMAZING! MONEY WELL SPENT."
- 'SCOTL6970' - "IT SEEMS GREAT IN BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO MY OLD AUDIOLAB 8000A, THINGS SOUND CRISPER AND MORE DETAILED"
