This is the recently released C.E.C-brand power cable, CEC PWC-4N3.5. As its appearance suggests, the manufacturing has apparently been outsourced to Zonotone. The conductor here is 4N-grade OFC (oxygen-free copper) with no silver plating whatsoever. If you dislike the sonic character of silver-plated conductors, or if you want to rein in high-frequency lustre while seeking more body in the bass, the CEC PWC-4N3.5 may well be a better choice than the Ortofon and Zonotone cables introduced in earlier entries.
I am personally very fond of the sonic character of silver-plated and silver-conductor cables, so hybrid conductors and silver-coated wire suit me perfectly well — but having listened to the PWC-4N3.5 in a shop, connected to a CEC amplifier driving Vienna Acoustics Beethoven T-3 and compared against the supplied power cable, my impression was this: the leading edges are slightly rounded, but the presentation has a generous sense of scale, the high frequencies are entirely free of any sense of distortion, and the tone is warm and natural throughout. Bass volume, it seems, surpasses that of a silver-plated cable of the same construction. It looks likely to push the analogue-like character that CEC’s CD players and integrated amplifiers already possess a step further, while also clearing away any sense of muddiness — so even with other manufacturers’ equipment, this could make for an interesting option if you find yourself troubled by insufficient bass.

最近発売のケーブルはどれも高解像度・写実系のものばかりで、各誌もそのようなものばかりを評価しているようです。私はその逆で、音場・芸術系のケーブルを求めて果てしない迷宮を彷徨っています。今回はC.E.Cをご紹介いただき読ませて戴きましたが、他社製品でこのような低域も出て流れるような芸術性を併せ持つ持つ製品をお知りでしたら採り上げて下さい。
