Essential Sound Products AVP-16 on guitar

So far, we've learned a lot about Essential Sound Products AC cords from Mike Griffin - now we get to hear what they can do to your guitar amp. Andreas Kapsalis joins Essential Sound Products' demonstration to show how these power cords really enhance the tonal qualities of acoustic guitar.

Watch a guy who can play three different parts of Pink Floyd's "Money" simultaneously on one acoustic guitar and hear the difference between stock cords and Essential Sound Products equipment on his amp.

Presenter: Mike Griffin, Essential Sound Products
Location: New York, New York

audiophile nonsense

By: jack
Good heavens. This nonsense knows no end. "A blurring of the frequencies within the wire?" Pardon me, but my EE degree says that's marketing horseshit. Any audible difference is due to bias of the performers. The mental illness which has taken over the "audiophile" hi-fi stereo world has infected the music-making industry. What's next? imported air for your recording studio? Field aligning pyramid crystals to channel spiritual energy from Mozart?

Jack, To be honest, I was on location, and I had ESP come in and do a studio demo recently. There is a significant audible difference between the standard cable and the ESP cable, as well as in their power cables. In the case of the power cables, the signal is much tighter and delivers more clarity.
