The Grand Illusion 1 power cord is the breakthrough that started everything. It is the cable that won Stereo Times product of the year award and Editors Choice. As the Grand Illusion designs evolved, we decided to keep Grand Illusion 1 and drop the price, so more people can enjoy the benefit Grand Illusion power cords will make in your system. A true Hi Fi value, and a must try if you're entering the Verastarr family of products..
The main differences between the GI1 and the GI2 are that the GI1 has no leather cuffs nor fabric on the headshell. Furthermore, there is no crystal treatment on the ends nor resonating discs, and the plug and IEC are generic audio grade gold plated brass. The Gi2 simply refines this design, but the maximum gains are going from a round wire cable to the GI1. Do not underestimate the change that will occur from this cable. It is profound.
