Because the Double Helix Speaker Cable came out sounding so good, Ron and I decided to adapt the design to an AC power cord. It worked like gangbusters! If anything, the power cord is even more impressive in improving the sound of
amplifiers and power conditioners
than the speaker cable. We’ve also noticed that digital components, CDs, DVDs, and D/As, are particularly helped by our power cord. We’ve further enhanced our power cord’s sonics with an audibly better-than-standard IEC plug, and by far the best-sounding AC plug in audio, both produced to our spec. 30-day money back.

The MKII version of our AC Cord adds a pair of “outrigger” ground wires that run parallel to the Double Helix power conductors (about 6" to the left and right of the power wires). The MK II has noticeably better dynamics, more bass weight, more warmth and even cleaner treble than the standard Clearview AC Cord. We think the MKII’s modest extra cost is an excellent sonic investment. 30-day money back.
Any good-sounding CD player, amp, turntable, or recorder could be great-sounding with a first-rate AC cord. No dice if the piece doesn’t have a removable cord. Since this comes up so often, we’ve developed a kit to change your cord easily—without diving into the bowels of your gear wielding a soldering iron. Couldn’t be simpler: just get a Clearview Double Helix Power Cord Kit. It comes with prepared and marked bare wire ends plus insulated copper butt splices that you simply squeeze on with pliers—no soldering. Just cut your component’s captive cord 3" from the box and scrape bare the conductors at the cut end, slip on the butt splices and squeeze. By the way, it’ll sound better than if you’d paid somebody $100 to cut a hole in the back of your chassis and to hard-wire in an IEC jack. The add-on IEC jack and mating plug just add a lot of unnecessary, bad-sounding dielectric.
NO EXTRA COST—just ask for the Kit Version when you order your AC Cord.
All Clearview wires are available in a Plus version. Plus uses conductors with our new stress-relived metallurgy. I hear the Plus making the most difference in quiet passages: held guitar or piano chords sustain longer and resonate more clearly as they fade into silence. The breathiness of singers and flutes, the metallic ring of cymbals is better articulated and less abrasive. For fans of acoustic music, small group jazz or chamber music, I recommend Plus without hesitation.
