#POWER BLOCKS FULL#

I was most impressed, on this track, by how wide the soundstage stretched via the Eros, and how the musical space itself was maximised. Those effects were transferred to vinyl and The King’s Singers. Electric guitars rung with electricity and the bass guitar provided a strong foundation to the track as a whole.

Vocals were texturised and full of emotional information from the Eros while percussion was clean and crisp with real emphasis shown after each hit of the drum. Nevertheless, I was very impressed with the midrange and bass via the Eros which competed well with the QB6 in both parts of the frequency spectrum. The QB6 exhibited enhanced precision and focus which again, considering the difference in price, wasn’t a great surprise. This time, the Eros came head to head with the QB6 via Nordost (£1,580).Īlthough the Eros performed well around the treble and upper mids for its price point, it didn’t quite have the control around those areas as the QB6. I then tried the Eros in the source position, connecting my turntable, DAC and CD transport. Music via this track was quite effortless yet was full of nuance and detail. Moving away from that approach and, instead building the block this way means that each socket receives the same current level.Įach of those sockets receives current from the same type of copper cabling you’ll find in the company’s audiophile cables like the Nyx and Helios while earthing has apparently been improved from earlier models. Busbars are power blocks fitted/connected with solid bars. Apparently the normal busbar approach to power blocks can result in variable current delivery. There is a techie reason for this, though.

It looks like a recording console in a studio, doesn’t it? A form factor I like very much. A Power Distribution Unit, I’ll have you know. Well, that’s now rectified with the appearance of the Eros. It’s been even longer since I last reviewed a power block from the company.

It’s been a while since I last reviewed any cabling from the specialist outfit, Titan. A new power block or, as Titan has it ‘Power Distribution Unit’, Paul Rigby plugs in, turns on and sits down
