Why do I need ESP power cords versus using a line conditioner?
ESP power cords solve two causes of audible distortions that no other power conditioning products address; 1) phase distortion, and 2) slow current delivery speed. Phase distortion is timing errors that occur between different frequencies. Current delivery speed is how quickly current can flow to your gear. Taken together, these issues cause audible distortions such as slow, bloated bass response, dynamic compression, harshness in the upper mid-range, loss of clarity and harmonic integrity, collapsed imaging (boxy sound), and frequency anomalies including over-emphasis or suck-outs. No ‘line conditioner’ or ‘power regenerator’ addresses these issues. Some of these devices actually make matters worse by adding transformers and capacitors in the circuit. ESP power components’ patented cordage geometry eliminates the cause of these audible distortions. You get extended, punchy yet articulate bass response. Midrange clarity is enhanced – you can hear into the music. Transients are cleaner
