The tonal palette was also refined\u2014I heard a wider contrast of instrumental timbre and increased micro-dynamic resolution. The impression of extended reverberation times, of longer sustains and decays, was also quite apparent. The overall effect was akin to the way your eyes seem to perceive a more vivid array of colors and contrasts on the sunny day following a cleansing rainstorm.

\nI observed, for example, during Dave Brubeck\u2019s\u00a0Take Five<\/em>\u00a0the sheer naturalism of Desmond\u2019s saxophone\u2014a near-ideal balance of reedy attack and trailing harmonic sweetness. Peter Gabriel\u2019s and Kate Bush\u2019s vocals during \u201cDon\u2019t Give Up\u201d from the Tidal MQA stream sounded less constrained, and there was more air between the duo. Massed voices, whether in a large chorus or in groupings of backup singers, were also enhanced in specificity and individuality.<\/p>\n
\nSuffice it to say that there is no guarantee that your results will mirror mine. You may even be of the belief that your system doesn\u2019t need any help in the first place. I hear you. I\u2019ve been there. As I said at the outset, with power products I\u2019ve always been reluctant, but persuadable. So if you\u2019re new to this segment, ask for an in-home audition of Hydra Delta D6 and Venom NR and see if you too are persuaded. If you already own original Venom HC power cords, my advice is to stick with them\u2014they remain one of the best deals in audio. However, if you\u2019re want a fairly major upgrade for a relatively modest expenditure, you may find Shunyata\u2019s latest effort is among its best yet. <\/span><\/p>\n
