The Vessel Power Cable

The name is honest. The Vessel is the container for the QSA process: a medical-grade, 14-gauge power cord that we send to QSA for its proprietary treatment. It comes back looking exactly the same, and what has changed is invisible.

A plain cord, transformed by treatment.

The Design

QSA's treatments on fuses, receptacles, and breakers have given us a consistent set of benefits: greater naturalness, better pace and timing, a more dimensional soundstage, and better low-level resolution. We wanted to know whether the same treatment on a power cord would deliver comparable results. In our experience it does, which is why The Vessel exists. QSA keeps its process to itself, so we judge it by listening, and we built an audition program so you can do the same.

The Levels

• The Vessel I: adds top-end sparkle and air over standard Violet QSA processing, with more low-level detail, and works particularly well on the Vessel platform.
• The Vessel II: our personal favorite at this level. Natural, rich, and dimensional, with fast, articulate bass, a textured midrange, and sweet highs. For many systems it's the most musically satisfying level.
• The Vessel B/R (Black/Red): more focused on detail and image density than the Vessel II. The center image becomes more solid and three-dimensional, and the space behind and beyond the speakers more convincing. Special order.
• The Vessel G (Gold): as far as 99% of our customers will ever go. In our experience it digs deep into the music and reproduces it with an almost physical presence, with information retrieval, smoothness, and naturalness beyond any other cord we sell. Special order.

The Audition Program

Our audition package holds one Vessel at each level plus three Sonic Tonic power cords, physically identical and untreated. Hear one, two, or all three Vessel levels in your system and compare them directly against the untreated cord. We want your curiosity and your skepticism both engaged, and the comparison speaks for itself.

Press Recognition

The Vessel is a Tweek Geek original, and the audition program is our press. Customers who've tried it that way and purchased have been consistent in their responses, and we're happy to share those privately.
