Assuming this power cord is a fraud or scam is irresponsible and ignorant. Considering none of the naysayers have heard this PC implemented in a top level Aavik/Borresen system. Why so difficult to give Ansuz the benefit of doubt? The critizing of ultra HEA has less relevance regarding the product but one's own personal issues.
Okay, so Ansuz, Aavik and Børrensen are the same company, suggesting some kind of synergy between their various product lines. From your post we infer that those products are held in high esteem, at least in certain circles.
We can safely surmise Børrensen's entry-level made-in-China home theater speakers aren't included in that elevated praise. But Aavik's $70,000 I-880 integrated amp ought to be.
Let's see! Here is a quote from Aavik I-880 webpage:
Aavik have designed a circuitry that constantly keeps the bias spread 0,63 V above the required current, no matter where it is in the cycle.
Expressing current in volts is of course absurd, but looking past that we see that the architecture being described looks suspiciously, at least in concept, like Bob Carver's M-series amps' from the early 80s.
Aavik I-880 also boasts a digital-domain encoder volume control, like your average Eversolo DAC, and switching-mode power supplies. All for $70,000. You get what you pay for!
But maybe it sounds great!
