This thing is the real deal. I made a power strip with it to have my dedicated power line from the wall. I used a Panasonic no-cable power strip and a Legrand plug. I was using a Bachmann power strip before. Improvements across the board, but especially the bass is phenomenal. Even if it's a bit stiff, copper is not a hard metal and you can easily shape the cable and it will stay in place without issues. Highly recommended!
