I picked up the Obsession power cable at the New York Audio Show and from the moment I placed it in my system from my Constellation Integrated Amp to my AudioQuest Niagara 1000 my Magico speakers came ALIVE with incredible wide and deep soundstage, detail, air, and musicality. I was using a very high quality reference power cable and it paled in comparison. I had been thinking about changing some components and the power cable made all the difference. It was like placing a new component in my system. The Obsession is beautifully made with great connectors and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I have been buying and listening to stereo system for many years, and I never had one cable bring such a smile to my face. My wife noticed the improved sound right away and asked what I had changed. Thank you to Triode Wire for increasing my audio enjoyment ten fold!!!

In all honesty folks, if you want a SOTA power cord, this is it! No need to spend $3,000 or $4,000 on a power cord. This will satisfy the pickiest of you, regardless of the total value of your system. And trust me on this, I have tried many power cords. Pete: this is truly the pinnacle of your designs. You should be proud of your work

Thank you, Skerdi! The “Obsession NCF” is a reference power cord for several reviewers, audio manufacturers and great audiophiles, like you! I appreciate your kind comments! Cheers – Pete

As my predecessor indicated allready, when you hear this powercable you don’t have to look further in future, this cable is it. It is very balanced, rich and analog sound with excellent dynamics. I also tried several powercables from other brands, compared to this powercable there was no one as stable as this one. It is a very well combination with my Devialet 440 pro/B&W 804 D3 speakers. Highly recommended!

After installing the American Speaker Wires and the Spirit II XLR interconnects, I installed two Obsession NCF cords and two American Digital cords for the Tube Preamp, SS Amplifier, Digital Streamer Transport and DAC respectively. This review is for both type of cords. I am comparing to the generic OEM cords that came with my components. I plugged the cords into my Shunyata Hydra 6 power distributor.
After about two weeks, my impression is that the soundstage is a bit deeper, laid back and the amount of details in familiar recordings is higher. As with other Triode cables, I also noticed increased lower frequency performance.
I definitely recommend these power cords and I believe that my components are providing their maximum performance. Overall very nice sound!
Highly recommended and these will be your last power cords!
Thanks Pete!

After a year of happily living with a pair of “Seven Plus” power cords, I decided to purchase the “Obsession” PC and it has become a mainstay in my system and I will never sell it. At the time it was the most expensive cable I had ever owned. Three years later and I now have many high quality power cords in my system, some far more expensive than this cable. The “Obsession” has gained permanent residence on my Rogue RP-7 preamp as a holographic soundstage emerges, blooming in all directions, and is extremely dynamic yet subtlety nuanced with natural harmonic texture and timbre. And wait until you hear what it does for vocals! – What a great cable!

Thanks so much Scott for your kind words and sentiments!

Adding the Obsession is like opening the floodgates. Added one each to my PS Audio Power Plant 12 (which immediately benefited every component connected to it) and Pass Labs INT-250 and everything opened up effortlessly. Wider, deeper soundstage and blacker backgrounds. My GF, a classically trained musician with perfect pitch, heard the difference without knowing I added these to the system – she remarked on how much clearer the system sounded upon entering the room for the first time after I made the switch. Highly recommended.
