Acoustic Revive RCI-3 vs RCI-3H


Compared to some hardcore fans, I may have only a few pieces of the AR cable insulator ... But that won't stop me from sharing with you guys what I think of their latest version made from hickory wood...

All because 1 single piece alone can help when placed under the most vulnerable cable ... If you can't afford multiple pieces dun fret, just buy 1 first ...

Due to the pressure of currency exchange rates, AR products have become more expensive by quite a big margin ... And the new cable insulator does not escape that fate as well...

It's not exactly a value for money product at all ..

To cut the test short, I compared the old and new under the Acrolink 6100 power cord from the wall to the distributor.....

So what's the difference ..??? What's the improvement ..???

Over 1 test track of familiar music, I heard a blacker and quieter background ..... Separation between voices and instruments are also better ...

So it's not a HUGE difference of day and night proportions ... So should you upgrade??

Well if you want the best, the hickory insulator is definitely better ... If not, you can mix the new and old pieces if you are already a converted user ...

Try it if you are one who is anal about lifting all your cables off the floor..... Just remember to add them in gradually to enjoy the incremental improvement ...

Cheers!
