The electrical supply within our houses is becoming increasingly polluted. The typical household now has around 40 microprocessors and many of the electronic components we now use are fitted with switch mode power supplies. The Chord Co established some years ago that high frequency electrical interference was having a seriously detrimental effect on the performance of both hi-fi and home cinema systems and this discovery prompted the development of firstly the Signature interconnect and then the Signature speaker cable. The PowerChord will enhance the stereo image and improve the space around individual voices and instruments.
However, if PowerChords are not being used throughout the system, we would recommend that you experiment first by fitting the PowerChord to the source component and then swapping to the pre or integrated amplifier. In some cases, this may well bring about a bigger increase in performance. Prior to this we had experimented with several designs of mains cable, none of which produced consistent results from system to system. Having successfully developed the Signature cables and proved their effectiveness it was logical to apply the same shielding principles to a mains cable. The result is the Chord PowerChord. Unlike previous designs, the PowerChord's performance and the improvements it brings are remarkably consistent, regardless of the system it is fitted to. The PowerChord is also a simple and effective upgrade to both plasma and LCD televisions, improving clarity, contrast and colour.
