Russ Andrews introduces SuperKord Reference and Signature mains cables
Here's one to get our Forumites hot under the collar: a pair of new SuperKord mains cables from Russ Andrews, selling for £950 and £1250 a piece.
The SuperKord Reference-SD II and SuperKord Signature-SD II both use improved Sawyers Disc technology to enhance the RFI (radio frequency interference) reducing properties of the woven cable. Less RFI means the user benefits from more information being revealed on CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, claims the company.
Sawyers Discs were invented by Dr Craig Sawyers and Ben Duncan and first introduced on Russ Andrews' SuperKord Classic-SD mains cable (now upgraded to Classic-SD II status).
It's a new method of terminating each conductor at the plugs, using a series of perforated discs, said to give "smoother and more even [interference] rejection across a wider range of frequencies, which is also many times deeper and clearly measurable'.
Russ Andrews says the Reference-SD II and Signature-SD II use Kimber Kable's woven cable technology, with 16 hyper-pure copper conductors in the Reference model and 24 conductors in the Signature product.
They also benefit from a new proprietary earth enhancement, helping to attenuate earth wire RFI.
You can buy the SuperKord Reference-SD II for £950 (1m) and the SuperKord Sgnature-SD II for £1250 (1m).

Proffski, have you listened to one? If you haven't listened to one, then you don't know what difference it makes, so thank you for your opinion which is worth exactly nothing.
I've just auditioned the Reference SuperkordII and it made a stunning improvement in my system over the previous Classic Superkord I've been running nearly a year.
The turntable responded really well to the cleaner power supply, and even my streamer perked up significantly.Bass better controlled and top-end a little less harsh. Yes, it seems expensive, but not with regard to improving a system costing 25 times more
Are WHF going to test one of these and let us know the outcome?
Ah, perforated discs as filters, more pseudo science, voodoo, and Ju-Ju-Flop!
He should joinn forces with Peter Belt!
