I don't have any experience with the ESP Essence, although I have considered giving one of those a try for my amplifier at some point. I do have a Tekline PC12 that I am currently using on my amplifier. It is a solid cord and fared very well in my comparisons with other cords; a great bargain by my estimation...one that I could personally recommend. I have not experimented with it on my digital equipment, but I actually have run across a reference or two specifically noting that they felt this was cord was excellent for digital components. Good luck.
Tekline PC12 or ESP Essence ppower cord?
Looking for a good PC to place on a Theta DB II. Of course would like to get one versitile enough to use w/ a sub or amp later if ned be or at least my DAC should I ever let go of my JPS Digital AC. Seems these ESP & Tekline cords can be had pretty cheap now on the used market. I found an ESP 3m for $190 & a Tekline PC-12 for $125 w/o Watt-A-Gate plug or $175 w/ the Gate. Also the Tekline PC-8 signature w/ gold plugs at both ends for $150 and Tekline Silver for $275. Silver is really a little out of my ballpark for the moment due to cost of transport and new digital cables. Any input on these PCs is greatly appreciated!
