To h*ll with the laws of physics. I'm buying one!
In the spirit of James Dean*+ -- The laws of physics are made to be broken.

On topic: Is it shaped like that? Might make system integration a trifle tricky.

+ OK, I guess I was thinking of Marlon Brando -- but I like the James Dean physics thing, so it's stayin' in the post. ;):facepalm:

Up to now I thought of iFi as a not high class, but still reasonable brand with a lot of ok performing products. Now I need to revise this.

IIRC a co-founder of iFi is a member here but only defends the nonsense up to a point?

"Geometrically balanced endgame active power cable"


I quite honestly had to read this a few times and I have actively come to the decsion that I hate whoever came up with this and the company who makes this.

Don't buy that one unless you want thin and shrill sounding music.

The plot thickens.
As that is certainly a shill negative review.

And the key. If everyone purchased and then returned this. How long could ifi sustain the loses? This is something to consider, though with these likely enormous profit margins they can likely still win the battle.

This is me, laying down the power cable for my new amp.

And the finished result. Almost. Waiting for the agitator truck to pour the concrete.. Just crossing my fingers no new and more resolving cables will come out for the next many years.

A 10 foot clothes dryer cable is ~$100 for the really good'n expensive ones.
Doodski, you beat me to it again! I was going to post that they had reinvented Belden's basic cable that costs around $1 a foot. You are too fast more my old typing fingers! LOL

It’s a bargain at $500. Most end-game power cables are at least 10x that!
But is it end game? Once you hear all the uhm, stuff this one can do, you'll just want an even more expensive one!

Such a weird company with an inexplicable mix of decently engineered and pure snake oil products.
Maybe the snake oil profits support the engineering NRE.

You won't need to replace the cable but audiophile concrete cannot be far away so resign yourself to digging up the floor at some point.

Exactly. Everyone knows that regular concrete has ferromagnetism, which ruins the soundstage. Or something.

Just needs a bit of blue-sky thinking.

I can write the review now:


'I was initially sceptical that the 'Supa-Concrete' could improve the sound of my system but once it had dried out and I'd moved the equipment back in, from the first few bars of Diana Krall's ' The Girl In The Other Room' I knew this was a game-changer... etc (cont page 93)
