STREAM Mains Power Cable is optimised for the best sound quality by its length. During the design period, Black Rhodium tested one of its power cables in 15 different lengths. Listening tests showed consistently that the best sound quality was obtain from cable of 1.65 m to 1.7 m. For a review that compares 1.7m and 2.0m cables please read HERE
Having determined the optimum length, Stream has been carefully designed to minimise the distortions that are most noticeable when listening to music. Individual cores are mechanically damped to minimise micro-vibrations within the cable and a closely woven screen braid was applied to minimise the effects of radio frequency interference.
Stream offers UK and European customers the choice between our standard high quality connectors or, for premium sound quality, silver or rhodium plated connectors. For a comparison, please read the review in Hi-Fi Plus HERE.
The lasting benefit of the Stream design is that Stream is highly effective in high end systems as well as those closer to the middle of the market at which its price is aimed. High end systems owners can progressively upgrade by applying Stream to each individual part one by one experiencing highly beneficial improvements in sound quality at each stage.
