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

Thingis the "new"one (purple) came in exactly the same box as the "old" (orange) one.  The product data sheet in the new one showed the oldone on it.  Doubt there is any difference except for the colour, as said earlier.

I think that is what someone recently told me, anyway...... so a 0.5m second hand one for £55 delivered is a bit of a bargain then? Wink

Great news Pete you wont regret it, let me know your findings.  Yes I found them and clicked the "buy it now bit" but didnt know my wifes paypal number, so had to ask her.  Was not too impressed as have bought two already this month and am sending my Chord Chameleon back to Chord to modify to 5 pin din.  So hopefully they will have at least one left as of Monday!!! when I have been paid.

True Blue:
No these are not conditioners ie contain no smoothing circuits.  These are upgraded cables with increased shielding and better quality conductors and plugs, hand crafted.


 


Smoothing circuits? You mean like electronic? No no, a quote...


"From the start, what piqued my interest in Wireworld’s 52 line of power cables was what seemed to be the scientifically sound reasoning behind their design. Wireworld makes no wild assertions that cables must be bathed in the light from a crystal of kryptonite, or other such nonsense. Instead, they designed their cables’ geometry and construction to drive the cables’ inductance and capacitance values as high as possible, to create a cable that is also a passive filter. The basic idea is that every 52 cable naturally rejects frequencies above the 60Hz electrical carrier, effectively making it the equivalent of a power conditioner. This may sound strange, but it makes a lot of sense. All cables have properties of inductance, capacitance, and resistance, which are all that’s required to create a filter. The idea of tweaking a cable design to generate a filter effect is not only far from crazy, it borders on genius."


Some other intresting quotes...


"It stood to reason, at least in my mind, that a few feet of high-quality wire at the end of the chain weren’t going to fix the ills the current had gathered from its travel through the several miles of low-grade wire it passes through before it gets to the outlet. The design of the 52 cables threw a wrench into that line of thinking."


"The truth is that the difference between the stock cords and any of the Wireworld cords was immediate and obvious. The soundstage opened up, the clarity improved, and the entire fabric of the music was set against a dead-silent backdrop. "

If I know there is a demand for them, I might buy them all and then re sell for more money!! Wink


I read on a website that after using the first mains cable on a source component (say the cd player, for example), the next cable on the receiver will not show that much improvement, due to the first one 'clearing all the interference' at the source of the music reproduction.....


Any thoughts on this?


I tried the superscreen on the cd player last night (Alpha on the receiver still), with the best results. Then tried my alpha on the cd player and superscreen on the receiver...improvement was better than when two alphas are being used.


Clearly, the source component is the one to fit the best cable onto.........

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

I was pondering the same question -- Chord vs. Clearer Audio -- but now the cheapo Chord has gone off Ebay, and I think I'll stick with Clearer Audio for the time being in order to save some money. Still interested in hearing more from people who have compared the two though.
