A few weeks ago, I received a new Decware power cable. All of my components are plugged in to my ZLC power conditioner, so my plan was to use the new power cable from the ZLC to the wall. Of course, I hoped for an improvement, but what I got was a very nice surprise.

Of all of the other power cords and interconnects I’ve put in the chain, this new cable made the most significant improvement. I spent the first few evenings listening to recordings that I know well, and was shocked to hear lots of detail I had never heard before, hearing further into the music than ever before.

I am really looking forward to seeing what happens as the cable breaks in fully. This one is a winner, and highly recommended!

I don’t consider myself a cable guy either, and certainly wasn’t expecting that kind of improvement. I have several ZU power cables that I’ve used for several years that I thought were good. Could be that they were not that good and that the Decware cable is just significantly better than they are. But, since it is a Decware product, I will choose to believe that it is simply an exceptional cable.

I've become a cable guy, reluctantly, screaming and kicking all the way.  Especially when it came time to pay.  My recent experience validates Lon's comments.

I purchased a couple of DHC3 power cables.  Did they make a difference?  Yes and it is a positive difference. How much of a difference I cannot say because I also put in a new source in a new room at the same time.  But something happened that took this cable to the next level.  I decided to cut one in half to accommodate the set up.  If you're going to attempt modifying the length of this cable be careful when cutting into the jacket, it's double walled and you only want to cut into the first "layer".

One area that I didn't like was the highs.  Didn't seem quite right, splashy and somewhat compressed.  I thought, I need to be patient and give it time to burn in, until my patience evaporated.  I pulled the run to the UFO25 from the Puritan conditioner and noticed that I did not change the plugs as I normally do.  I had one Furutech F1-11 CU plug left and decided to replace the stock plug.  The Furutech connectors fit perfectly in the stock housing and I would suggest that only connectors that fit the stock housing are used.

Anyway, I put the cable back, inserted the Verve Stan Getz Bossa Nova CD and pushed play.  The difference that one plug made was HUGE!  If you do not think that a power cable can make that much of a difference you certainly will not believe that a single plug can make that much of a difference, and I get it, it's OK.  But it DID!

The mids and highs opened up, became very real.  The sax had a tone and texture that would make one think it was in the room and the voices, WOW!

Will you get this result in every system?  NO WAY!  The system has to be of the type that is very revealing.  The Chord TT2/M Scaler and UFO25 are incredibly revealing, and as Lon points out' will reveal, positive or negative, the slightest change that is made.

What's next?  Usually I mix a CU plug with a gold plated IEC.  I just ordered another Furutech F1-11 G IEC, kicking and screaming all the way!  The DHC3 deserves better connectors.
