Ecosse Big Red Ultra Current Powerchord
If you want to hear every nuance of the music as the artist who performed it intended it to be heard, then you gotta have one of The Big Red Powerchords.
Here Ecosse's unique rope-lay Monocrystal™ conductor weave is combined with a double screen of aluminium foil and tinned copper which along with the acoustic damping cotton filler makes this one of the quietest power cables in existence. The advantages of using a rope-lay weave are the considerable reduction of RFI/EMI/ESI noise ingress, a major player in mains connection.
Available in the following :
The Big Red comes in three pre-terminated versions : High Current, Ultra Current and Max Current - each one a genuine upgrade on its predecessor.
For the HC version Ecosse use the world-renowned Schurter™ 320iec.
In the UC they have installed the Audiophile Reference grade Furutech™ FI 20-Rodium 24Karat gold plated, anti-magnetic and unique 'earth-jumper' IEC connection. (for total rejection of deleterious inter-screw magnetism and EMI) Certainly the very best IEC available today on mains cable around this price.
Outstanding width and detailed bass
Generally speaking, one of the achievements of a well-balanced and installed system is the sensation of the speakers 'disappearing' into the soundstage. With Ecosse Big Red Powerchords™ installed, width beyond the speakers and depth behind the wall is apparent in spades.
Seriously extended and detailed bass is also well apparent while the mid and treble ranges benefit by palpable more imagery, speed and clarity, and a greater sense of the recorded acoustic.
Contact Enhancer Option
To ensure the best possible connection between your system, Future Shop recommends the DeoxIT Gold G-Series contact enhancer.
DeoxIT Gold is carefully applied to the plug contacts of your cable and is a unique conditioning solution designed to improve conductivity and provide long-lasting protection on gold, base metals and other precious metal contacts and connections. DeoxIT Gold penetrates plated surfaces, molecularly bonding to the base metals to seal and protect both surfaces.
The benefits of applying DeoxIT gold are:
- Improved Conductivity
- Maintained optimum signal quality
- Reduced wear & abrasion
- Prevents fretting/dendrite corrosion
- Forms a protective anti-tarnishing coating
- Stabilises connections between similar and dissimilar metals
- Reduces arcing, RFI and intermittent connections
Please select this option from the above ‘Contact Enhancer’ drop-down menu and our engineers will apply the contact solution to your cable connectors prior to shipping.

"Fitting the Big Red UC to my valve preamp, I’m immediately aware of an improvement in sound quality. Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol performed by the National Symphony Orchestra has significantly greater impact. I have a sense that more players have joined the orchestra and there is a huge improvement in the imaging and clarity of each instrument." (Read More) Hi-Fi Choice Recommended - January 2020 |
