Re: Chord Superscreen vs Clearer Audio Alpha - Anyone compared?

Ok I have a choice now...........Chord superscreen (1m) brand new for £55 (and I know it sounds great on my cd player),


or Chord Powerchord, second hand (0.5m) for same price? (RRP £120 - next level up from superscreen) But obviously I've not tried it on my player!!


Which one?

True blue,


 


Why are some powerchord's orange and other's purple?


 



Last years design orange this years purple. AFAIKthis is correct.  Same cable



Thanks .......guess it's like the QED Profile 4x4 speaker cable....started out green, then it was changed to white but I was told by QED it was exactly the same cable.....


 Thanks for clarification though........

Pistol Pete1,


You've spoken about the difference the chord superscreen made to your music, did you try it on your tv?


Are you able to tell me (i might get in a kafuffle here) if the power cords in general can have different connector sockets on the end!! ie some of my products the power cable is like a triangular shape 3-pronged or some are 2-pronged. about as clear as mud!

The two pronged is the figure of eight / calculator connector usually rated @ up to 2.5A

The three pronged one is called a Euromain / IEC Cold Connector (sometimes wrongly called a Kettle lead) usually rated @ up to 10A

If 0.5M is enough I would go for the powerchord.  At the very least it should be as good as the superscreen.  But I have no experience of either tbh.

Errr actually no these cords don't come with either as an option.  However some companies do, do a figure 8 power cable and it is possible to buy an adaptor to connect the larger 10amp adaptor to the figure 8 adaptor.  But in short the vast majority of power cables come with the 10amp connector.

The Clearer Audio cable adds a little clarity and colour vibrancy to the tv screen (using DVD playback), but it is difficult to fit into the rear of the tv (plug too big!), and the Chord adds a little more to both (easy to fit into back of tv)......


Hope thats useful......

Re: Chord Superscreen vs Clearer Audio Alpha - Anyone compared?

Remind me, True Blue......Have you heard the superscreen to be able to compare....or are you assuming it's better cos it cost more?

Aghhhh flashback to another thread..................  Wink

Only joking, yes I auditioned the superscreen on my CDP was not blown away.  Personally Ithink you have absolutely nothing to lose.  If you can get a dem of the Powerchord and go from there only you can tell.

Re: Chord Superscreen vs Clearer Audio Alpha - Anyone compared?

I see the Rega Saturn is a serious cd player at Over £1200 brand new......it probably warrants a £120 mains cable....will my Marantz KI (£500) be up to the challenge?

Re: Chord Superscreen vs Clearer Audio Alpha - Anyone compared?

Well, if it works on a £1200 CDP it should also work very well on a £500 player.  Also remember that the used/dem Powerchords are only around £70.  Again if in any doubt yourself get a powerchord and demo.

Re: Chord Superscreen vs Clearer Audio Alpha - Anyone compared?

You got the purple or orange one? The one I have seen is orange, so is the older version....much between them...or just a colour change?

Re: Chord Superscreen vs Clearer Audio Alpha - Anyone compared?

Orange one fitted to my CDP, purple one fitted to my Panasonic TV.  Suppose that would be an interesting test............may swap them round at the weekend, before I send my IC back to chord for modification to 5pin din
