Big Red SC     












AWARDS/REVIEW

"First up were the Big Red SC Power Chords... the svelte and flexible Ecosse cords were a breath of fresh air. How did they sound? In a word, amazing.

Inserting them into my system excised a layer of grunge, grit, and haze from the sonic picture. I heard greater dynamic contrast, a larger and more cohesive soundstage, and a clearer, more realistic rendering of tonality.

At less than half the price of my reference power cords, the Ecosse Big Red SC cords blew me away. I can truly say that I couldn't hear anything wrong with the Ecosse Big Reds.

For the price, I give the Ecosse Big Red SC Power Chords my highest recommendation.

"…more clarity and detail in the bass and on occasion more treble detail too."

HI-FI CHOICE MAGAZINE,UK

"…A very high grade of solder being used - Big Red's performance is great with passion, depth & warmth. Big Purple is slimmer but has excellent coherence & positioning..."

If you want to hear every nuance of the music as the artist who performed it intended it to be heard-then you gotta have one of 'The Big Red Powerchords™.

Here our unique rope-lay Monocrystal™ conductor weave is combined with a double screen of aluminium foil and tinned copper which along with the acoustic damping cotton filler makes this one of the quietest power cables in existence. The advantages of using a rope-lay weave are the considerable reduction of RFI/EMI/ESI noise ingress-a major player in mains connection.

HI-Fi CHOICE MAGAZINE raved about (the UC version) it in its first ever review, they awarded it a RECOMMENDED CERTIFICATION and said: "the gain in low frequency precision was a quite marked and apparent in any programme…making this cable a recommendable upgrade to any high-quality IEC-inlet component."

In May 2006, USA's highly influential POSITIVE FEEDBACK ONLINE (PFO) MAGAZINE confirmed this when they noted of the SC version "How did they sound? In a word, amazing. Inserting them into my system excised a layer of grunge, grit, and haze from the sonic picture. I heard greater dynamic contrast, a larger and more cohesive soundstage, and a clearer, more realistic rendering of tonality.For the price, I give the Ecosse Big Red SC Power Chords my highest recommendation.

The Big Red comes in three pre-terminated versions: High Current, Super Current and Ultra Current-each one a genuine upgrade on its predecessor.

For the HC version we use the world-renowned Schurter™ 320iec; in the SC a superb Monocrystal™ Cu contact-pin IEC; (see explosion) and, at best, in the UC, we have installed the world-beating Audiophile- Reference grade Furutech™ FI 20-G (trust me we've tested ALL the competitors) 24Karat gold -plated, anti-magnetic, unique 'earth-jumper' IEC connection (for total rejection of deleterious inter-screw magnetism and EMI) -certainly the very best IEC available today on mains cable round this price.

Generally speaking, one of the achievements of a well-balanced and installed system is the sensation of the speakers 'disappearing' into the soundstage. With Ecosse Big Red Powerchords™ installed, width beyond the speakers and depth behind the wall is apparent in spades. Seriously extended and detailed bass is also well apparent while the mid and treble ranges benefit by palpable more imagery, speed and clarity, and a greater sense of the recorded acoustic.
