Power cord results

Hi Paul, and yesterday I  met with a man who had a Matrix Reference power cable on test. I am not familiar with his system, I know that he has two loudspeakers, Magnepan and Herbeth.
He says that he made quite a few combinations and that he liked it best when he put the cable on the amplifier.
Also, he says that he likes the sound, that it is very light, soft, has a lot of details. And that somehow it surpasses all his cables, and that it is phenomenally balanced, says that it is an extraordinary cable. And he really loved the sound.
Since we had very little time due to his departure by train home, I hope to get his experience better described in a report and his system with photos that I can pass on to you. Regards Miha, Solvenia
 
Hi Paul, it has been a while, and hope you doing well and still enjoying success with Perkune Audiophile Cables and here are my latest Power cord results
I am still enjoying my newest Perkune Matrix Air reference cable for well over a month now. Sadly, my pre amp failed some weeks ago and is now in for service. And, hopefully it can be fixed. Buy, my DAC can also be used as a pre-amp, so still can listen to my music. But have listened to my Reference cable a good time before that and it’s on my DAC, so still in use! 
 
The Matrix reference is easily the best Power cord I have ever owned and listened to. And, this cable has the amazing ability to enlarge the sound in my system, so much so, that it sounds like you did have the whole orchestra in your living room!! 
Details are excellent defined though the pitch black background and the texture in the music gets a whole new meaning. And, it makes every little detail stand out and almost float in the air around you. 
 
The vocals are as real as it gets, and the feeling of real live performance is just stunning, to say the least. As for the timing and rhythm, it’s got a life of it own!! 
The toe tapping factor is all time high and it’s so mesmerising you just want to dance with the music. Also, the Bass has now new defined tones and tightness that is absolutely incredible. It really does make everything you listen to absolutely a great experience. And, the musical properties this cable is capable of is a new level. And It just goes to show that power cables really can elevate the listening experience to new dimensions. This power cord is an absolute joy listening to, Paul. And makes my system sound so alive – Best from, Eirik

Hello Paul,  and yesterday, I took the time to listen to the power cord, unfortunately I had very little time available approx 60 min for critical listening.
However, the presence of the Matrix Reference cable in the system is immediately noticeable.
The instruments have a nice space around them, the sound is open, the details are all present, even some nonsense that was not there before is now present.(WOW) Midrange is so pleasant and very nice, bass goes very deep, it is fast and very precise. Music just pulls you in, this is a great cable and above all very well balanced and musical.
An excellent performance worthy of praise, I can see, fell your magic in the sound.
Congratulations on such great cable.
Today Matrix Reference is already going to the demo test, because there is a lot of interest so people will soon be able to experience what this excellent cable has to offer and then comment and sales. Regards Miha – Slovenia

Dear Paul, I hope this message finds you well. I felt compelled to reach out and share my overwhelming satisfaction with the latest upgrade to my audio setup – the Matrix PRO Reference Cable. To put it simply, the difference it has made to my sound is nothing short of astonishing. Let me start by saying that I’m currently using the Matrix PRO, and when I discovered there was an upgrade available, I couldn’t resist. As someone who has gone through a total of ten different cables over the years, I can confidently say that this latest addition has elevated my audio experience to unprecedented heights.

The improvement in sound quality is nothing short of remarkable. I find myself in audiophile heaven, now able to discern nuances and details that were previously elusive. The transparency of the audio is mind-blowing, offering a level of clarity that I never thought possible. It’s as if a veil has been lifted, revealing a sonic landscape that was previously hidden. One of the most noticeable enhancements is the increased body and richness in the musical sound. The Matrix PRO Reference Cable has brought a newfound depth to my audio, delivering a fuller and more immersive musical experience. The upgrade has surpassed my expectations, and I find myself rediscovering my favorite tracks with a newfound appreciation for their intricacies. Power cord results

What truly impresses me is the evolution in your cable technology over the years. Having initially experienced your cables five years ago, I can confidently say that the advancements are tangible. The Matrix PRO Reference Cable is a testament to your commitment to excellence and innovation in the audio realm. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude, Paul, for providing me with this exceptional audio experience. Your cables have significantly contributed to my enjoyment of music, and I am sincerely thankful for the dedication you put into crafting such outstanding products. Best regards, Eirgil, Bergen, Norway

Hello Paul, And I am still in shock at the difference this new Matrix PRO PC has made to my sound. I was running the Matrix black, and though was the best my system could be. But when I saw you had an upgrade I just had to try. And my god, I am so glad that I did. Now I am in another league and hearing things I never heard before. Everything about the sound is better and the transparency is mind blowing, And such clarity I never thought possible. Also, there is much more body, and a richer fuller musical sound. Your cables are great but now, even better than a year ago. Thank you so much Paul for this wonderful experience, Antanas, Vilnius, Lithuania.

Hi Paul, I have listened to your Matrix PRO cable now for some time in different settings. And my conclusion thus far –
Tonality on par with other cables. Clarity above par or on par with its equals from TQ and AN. And It depends on the position. Rhythm and pace is on par. 3D / depth is good, but AN ISIS wins. 
TQ and Audio Note are different cables with different presentations. The expensive TQ cables it can’t beat. When i put it against the TQ statement it cant deliver on thickness. But when put against TQ Silver Diamond, Silver or Ultra Black power cords it out performs.. On some spots i like your cable on on others the TQ or AN.
I have it now running on a Merason DAC1. There the TQ silver Diamond was not performing its best. And your cable brought it more to life. 
I think overall its a great sounding cable that is good price. Now I have to check the two cables from you on the source. For now enough testing. And I can say that i am overall very satisfied with your cable. Regards Richard, Den Haag, Holland

Hello paul, and my Power cord results and just amazing. And want to say thanks for this Matrix PRO power cord. Now been running for a week but getting better every day. I thought the Matrix was brilliant but this is another league in the world of audio. The sound stage is larger and does give me more with and depth. And I also am more aware of the 3D and vocals are so so big. I love Diana Krall but now she is with me in my room! And thanks for your wonderful work – regards Gary USA

Hi Paul, and just finished installing the Matrix Power cord. This is really cool stuff. Sound wise it’s all a bunch of candies. Holographic presentation is there – instruments and voices are now 3D and have way more condensed energy, meaning they are more tangible. Presentation is more lifelike. Resolution has improved quite a lot. I had no difficulty bending the cord to plug it into my amp, as I have a very small space, but was easy. And now I have the Matrix amplifier cable running. I Will say instantly that my system sounds really much better than before. The resolution has enhanced significantly with more details and more natural rendering of sound. The soundstage is better defined with better depth. Instruments and voices are more focused and have additional energy. A really great sounding cable, and thank you – Tom Lasota Poland

Hello Paul, I have to tell you that I am very satisfied with the new power cable. The improvement in the sound of my music system is noticeable and obviously that’s why I enjoy listening to it. Greetings Primož, Slovenia

HI Paul, and as promised I can report on the test on my friends system with four power cables.
Test equipment
-preamplifier VTL 2.5 power amplifier Trafomatic Expiriance Elegance 6550 valve 
-Phono Modwright Instruments. Speakers WLM Diva, Turntable with SME 3009 tonearm with mc cartridge
All system is some mix of cables- Acoustic zen power and speaker cables, other is Stealth audio and one Furutech power cable.
 
Cables on test 
– Perkune Matrix Black 2m
– Stealth audio Swift silver plugs 2m
– Kubala Sosna Emotion 2m
– Furutech FP-S55N 2m gold plated plugs fi38
 
Kubala Sosna Emotion is superb cable full transparent, open, producing nice sound picture.
Furutech FP-S55N 2m with gold plated plugs 38 the sound is somehow a little boosted, warm and is not real recording sound. 
Stealth Audio Swift it is also very accurate with many details, fast generally nice sounding.
Matrix Black was somehow the best it has all the best of all cables, neutrality it is transparent, has speed, bass is strong tight and very pleasant, treble and mids are very nice with a lot of detail and great accuracy, sound stage is huge open and 3D, details are all there, you can hear all the nonsense present in the recording itself. 
And we decided the Matrix Black was the best cable of we all tested. Sound is the most pleasant of all and somehow you don’t have to get tired of it, you just listen and listen and enjoy it. The Matrix black cable is very good and very special adds some magic to the music and system really sings. It is very difficult to evaluate the cables, because the system is very mixed with components and also different cables, but we tested all of them and got a picture of different cables and how they sounded with the same system  Regards Miha Grebenc, Slovenia

Hi Paul and just got the latest matrix Intro power cable running and cannot believe how it has changed the sound of my system to the good. I have such a good bass and everything is tighter if that the right word. Also I can hear more details and have a bigger listen area. I am amazed how a simple cable can do this. You helped me improve my sound just by moving around my speaker. And this is then icing on the cake! I am waiting fo your new speaker cables and drooling at the thought so will be a great Christmas present I know. Thank you so much for your great work – Christoph, Austria

My My My Paul….you continue to create magic in your cable masterpieces! I received the Perkune 3M Reference Pro Power Cable that replaced my 3M Perkune Reference Power Cable, and what a monster! First  connected the Pro and played it at lower volumes and slowly worked it up to higher listening levels to help set it into my system. I didn’t do any critical listening right away as I wanted it to be burned in a little more before sitting down and concentrated on albums I know well and the Power cord results are stunning!

And, so far it has exceeded my expectations…..I had a listen to The Highway Men album, a fantastic pressing with 4 very distinct voices, OMG the detail in each voice and instrument had me melt back into my chair like I have never heard before.  The detailed separation of the soundstage was presented in a much more broad and  transparent image greater than I have ever heard from my system before.  I know I have made similar statements in the past each time I upgrade to higher end cable but WOW!

Next on the listening list is a classic Sade album, Diamond Life, great pressing!  Now this album came to life like never before, my goodness, once again I sank back in my chair and what little hair I have left on the back of my neck stood up on end. With so much sax, bass and vocals, this jazz infusion goddess from the 80’s was front and centre with placement of the sax, guitars, percussion and drums surrounding her with unbelievable transparency!  Dam…..this cable has upped the game once again! Bill Long Procter, B.C. Canada

Hey Paul, These are the Best power cord results online for you. And I have been listening to my sweet new “reference 2” power cord. It’s so very satisfying, listening to this Best power cord! I Don’t know what magic you are using, but is it indeed working! The Sound now is sublime!! The Clarity is phenomenal and with just a hint of softness right on edge. Making it the most pleasingly sound I have gotten out of my system. The tempo is silky-smooth, and with the richness of details, you cannot, other than being amazed about what you hear. And the way you listen to it! It’s easy for me to say this is now my favourite power cord, but to truly understand it, you must experience it.

The deep bass tones are so beautiful defined, as much as the highest tones! They bring the wholeness in the “sound”, where there is just a suitable balance between everything in the soundtrack. Truly impressive! The vocals feel free to sparkle when they need to and comes through with Clarity and playfulness. It’s lovely how the rhythms can now complement and flow along with music in such an organic way!! Like you never get tired of listening because it is offered to you so effortlessly. I intake my music with giant strides, Paul! Now with this level of audio bliss! The music has achieved elegance, and emotional warmth on a whole new level never experienced before. Best from Eirik, Norway

Hi Paul, I have connected the Perkune pc’s to the power amps & my system does sound measurably better.  Thanks for the tip. I will demo the Matrix next week. If improved sound I will likely order a pair through Wayne. It has been great getting to know a little about you & your fine products. I don’t think the inter-connects are the issue but down the road I will try out some of yours for sure. One step at a time, and thanks for your expertise. Best regards Larry

Hi Paul, everything arrived in four days which, was great, but, As the Sigma 170i integrated is not here until tomorrow, I plugged into my VAC Avatar Super (also a KT88). I dialled up the Talon Hawks with the Talon Thunderbird sub and immediately noticed a striking improvement in bass and vocals. I am impressed. My more prominent Talon speakers now bring out a flaw you are working on removing from my system for me, the set of bi-wire cables. Now, time to call the friends over to hear the difference and start making your cables familiar here in the U.S, Chris – Hollywood Amps, Florida.
 

It’s Late here at 11:10 pm and hooked up my system with the new power cord for the Preamp. Yes, it does sound better. The background music a little cleaner, and the soundstage is better too. The most significant difference was when you set up my speaker system. I love the Sound!! And dynamics better also!! Clarity was after that; you tweaked my design. Yes, it sounds like Melody Gardot (singer) is performing in my House!! Thank you!! Your Interconnects and power cable are very good!! Also, I want to thank you for how my system is sounding, and by simple movement has brought new details and Imaging. I think there is a market for setting up a sound system like you did for me to arrange to get the maximum performance, so thanks for the speaker’s placements tips –THX Lan – Hawaii

Hi Paul, and my impressions of the Reference 2 power cable I recently purchased from you. The cable is so well made and just looks powerful.  And is very rugged and great to the touch. I have the Reference 2 power cable plugged into my integrated amp. And feeds a pair of Harbeth P3esr speakers. It replaced a good quality $500 power cord. Right from the word go, I noticed a substantial improvement. The Sound of the system became more dynamic and organic at the same time, which is hard to achieve, and there was a better tonal balance from top to bottom. And felt so much more of everything and was a new field of sound. I then hooked the Airdream 2 digital cable between my Audiolab 6000 CDT transport and the built-in DAC of the Parasound

I usually have difficulty hearing the difference in digital cables. But in this case, the Sound of the Perkune digital cable was an improvement in transparency & dynamics. As, compared to digital cables from Virtual Dynamics & Wireworld I had been previously using. And with the addition of these two cables in my system in conjunction with your Airdream speaker cables, my modest system has been transformed. And transformed from a sound system to an existing music system with a very high level of goosebumps and emotional involvement , if you understand where I am coming from! Wayne, BC, Canada

Good afternoon Paul, and I finally have had a bit of time to run the Reference power cords. I immediately noticed some significant differences in my music compared to the high-end power cables I was using. The Noticeable differences were Clarity, instrument separation, and the exceptional detail that came from my music. I have been listening to the same theme for years with my audio group. The bass was more profound, not more massive, but digs much more in-depth than before. A very well made cable indeed. And, of course, my friends will want to listen; I have every confidence in bringing these power cords to other reference systems – Graham, Edmonton, Canada.

Right from go, I noticed a substantial improvement. The Sound of the system became both more dynamic and organic at the same time, which is hard to achieve, and there was a better tonal balance from top to bottom.

Hi Paul, the Air Dreams Power Cables finally arrived today!! I sorted out the polarity as per your great instructions for the European adapters and left them connected for an hour. NOW I am spinning a Sade album, Stronger than Pride, which I know well, and getting ready to write the Power cord results. My recording is a spectacular original analogue recording with lots of warm tube-like warmth, and now the sound stage just became so much more luxurious with such a sense of space! I was sceptical, but every cable I have purchased keeps taking it to the next level, making my system sound its best and BEYOND! But, I am astounded at this early stage how these cables outperform my Nordost Red Dawns! Once again, Paul, you have done it and come through with genuinely unique lines – Bill, BC

Hi Paul, The two albums I played that night were perils from the sea-Mark Kozelek & Skeleton tree- Nick Cave. I had two more listening sessions this morning & afternoon listening to both albums twice. And, I was drawn into the music a whole lot more than ever before. On nick Caves skeleton tree, the lyrics were so much more pronounced. Some passages are hard to understand what he’s saying. But with your power cable, it seemed so much clearer. 

I made out what he says for the first time through using your power cable. Also, bass much tauter. I would say it sounded like a different stereo if one was blindfolded & power cables exchanged. I love it & I had spoken to the wife. I’ve never had a system so good, thinking of the new Dac & momentarily forgetting about the power cable. It is a top product & I’m converted. I would never have believed that a power cable could change the whole picture into a recording like this and Oh & the bass! So solid & just there! An0ther thing I noticed that it’s like the music arrives from nowhere out of the blackness. I am enjoying this & look forward to other listening sessions with different albums. Up next is Agnes Obel-Aventine and talk later – Paul, Ireland

Hello Paul, I’m so pleased about your reference Sound you have made possible. I understand what you mean about the new and fresh Clarity in the Sound because of Rhodium connections. I  am listening to both the My previous Supreme power and the new Reference Power. And, Clarity on the Reference power phenomenal!! The most profound tone is intense! Also, details that before hidden now revealed. And I want to say the Sound is unique. It has some of the same traits as my previous one. BUT now it adds; lots more energy/speed, more clean and powerful deep bass. More details and absolute Clarity! Without a doubt, the best sound from a power cord I ever heard – Roland, Italy

Lapland

Hi Paul, Sitting and listening to your latest reference power cable and the Sound is delicious. And, I understand what you mean about the music is more luxurious and more relaxed! I’m in love with this Sound already! It has all the right ingredients to make you feel at ease when listening to your favourite music. It’s impressive how the rhythm is so smooth but so detailed at the same time! And It all flowed so naturally, it’s dreamlike. I would say I presented in a softer, more appealing way, and I can’t stop listening to this as it is Just so good. Thank you for this. And, Paul, you are the best – Shep

I am using the Matrix Source cable and the Matrix Black. And I just love the way my sound improved in my system. People say it is all rubbish and a power cable does nothing to improve sound. Buy I will say that with out a shadow of a sought it really does makes a difference. Having said that, i do know there is a difference in the male of the power cable you use and some are not as good as others, But the Matrix Amplifier from Perkune is the best cable I have used and worth every penny! regards Tony Eaton, Cheshire UK

Hello Paul, and I have to tell you about your latest Reference Power cord. I am amazed at how these different plugs can make such a difference to the Sound of my system. I can see the vast area the IEC plug has, and I know it is Rhodium, but get serious how can that make such a difference! Another layer of Insulation, what it Magics? Well, I do not know, but whatever it is, I LOVE it – thank you, Tommy, London, UK

Hello Paul, and thank you for this new Reference power cord. The three-meter length is perfect for what I need in my system, and I am using it to supply from the wall to my main power board. I have everything running from this, and I am mainly into a home cinema. I want to tell you that I have a much better picture quality on my screen, and the voice and music quality improve. Thank you for this lovely cable. Hans, Amsterdam, Holland

Hello Paul, And thanks for your Supreme power cord. I am amazed how much more this does than the last power cord I had from you last year. It is like my music and a Jack-in-the-box!! When I play my test CD, it is the same feeling everything has suddenly sprung to life! So how the heck is this possible? I ask. I hear so much more than I ever heard before, and all I can say is an immensely, very big thank you for this beautiful power cord. Regards – Lou, Perth

Hey Paul, I will start by saying that I’m enjoying the heck out of these new power cords. The Airdream S power cord is a special kind of power cord that gives you a sensation of something more. The emotional soundscape in the music becomes ever more prominent. By listening to the different genres in the music that I stream, my involvement with music astound me time and time again. The soundstage is enormous here and has a height to it now, that’s just impressive.Other aspects of listening to this cable are the laser-like focus and pinpoint accuracy. It helps you to draw up the performers and instruments alike with ease, to the extent that you can now clearly hear where they are in the soundstage – thanks, Edvin.

Paul – thanks for the power cords and a big step up from the standards! Just listening to some jazz, and it all sounds so lovely and authentic! The orchestra comes alive, and the piano sounds just amazing! Sounds very intimate and has its rhythm and flow. Hard to believe how the new cord can make such a difference – you are the Man! – all the best, John UK.

Hi Paul, been listening to the further power cord Golds, and I have to say they are surprisingly good. Everything is so impressive. So much detail now, just a different story. Now the cables have opened up, so you are in the music and the room filled with Sound. The Vocals are only so bright and detailed, and I get caught up in the music. I think I will send my interconnects to you following Monday, and you can upgrade to the gold version; and after that, I will send the speaker for the upgrade because I love this new super Sound – David 

Germany

Dear Paul, For now, I’ve connected your Ultimate two-meter power cord to the Taga Harmony TTA-1000 amplifier with K.T. 88 tubes. The cable has excellent transparency and plasticity. It also shows the details well. It has energy inside. I plan to publish the test at the end of August – Ludwig. 

Hi Paul, Been listening to my system for about an hour and a half as I usually do when I test and then switch to your Ultimate power cords, and every difference becomes apparent! The Sound instantly became more profound and calm. The Vocals were excellent before, but now the extra layer of details made it even more real!! It’s like you hear everything!!! Instruments are present in a new way. More tangible and realistic!!! The black background is phenomenal on these power cords! The Sound is so pleasing and soft. I can be listening to this for hours on end. I love this power cord!! Thanks again, Paul! Making my system even better than it was before!! Best from – Stefan

Finland

Hi Paul – I have just received the new Ultimate power cord, and I am listening to the same album. There is better separation between the instruments. The soundstage is enormous, and like artists are floating in the room, More depth, more space. The rhythm is faster, so the Sound is fun and more energetic. On some tracks, there are several rhythms on top of each other. And, now I hear each one. The definition of the trumpet is very lifelike, and I can listen to the micro details around. Vocals more relaxed a great experience – Best regards as always from Rolf.

I’m the happy owner of three power cables purchased from Paul. It was fascinating to try speaker cable and RCA interconnection cable build using the same new technology. I should say that the new lines exceed my expectations. First, I connected speaker cables instead of Arkana Aequilibrium bass became tighter, overall Imaging more transparent and airy. Comparing with Audioquest K2, “white speaker cable” has a more evident high end and better soundstage while keeping full-bodied, not boomy low end. Next, to me of the Audioquest Sky – the effect was noticeable and not prominent – higher dynamic range, the cable is silent.” Regards, Dmitry Novikov 

Hi Paul and I am delighted to send you the power cord results. Your power cord is perfect, and I think it needs better promotion among audiophiles and says you should try to sell it through Audiogon? I have barely got to test it, but it makes a difference. SMOOTH SOUND and better detail/resolution. I Tried direct to my CD, but so far, I liked to have the cord this way. I will do more testing. As for the suggestions, thank you. I will look into some of them. Right now, I’m having trouble with rooms acoustics but will buy more power cords from you and will become a happy customer” Best regards – Augusta

I purchased a set of interconnects, power cable, and speaker cables. Paul had a money-back guarantee, and the price was right. He also helps me arrange my speakers in my music room to get the best possible Sound after sending Paul photos and measurements of my room. For three adjustments, I auditioned my system, and the Sound was so much better. I would say performance improved by about 20-25%! The soundstage, Clarity, and depth of the music progressed. I am delighted what Paul has done for me!!! I recommend him highly!! Lance. 

London

Hi Paul, These are the power cord results – The booming of the room is better, it seems. The positioning of instruments is better like this than when the speakers had more room. To be blunt, I am shocked by your ability to guide me this far. I may have finally found the sweet spot! I had not considered how directional these speakers could be – it is true, these are for the selfish audiophile as there is only a single high seat! WARMEST regards Pete
