One thing’s certain, having the Jorma Unity cables throughout my system also made it noticeably more quiet. This feature gave the music a much blacker backdrop that allows me to hear closer and more deeply into the heart of each performance.  With the Unity AC cords in place, the overall sonic characteristic is an extension of the cables: silky smooth, yet dynamic and transparent as one could ask. The more I listened, the more I discovered those small minute micro/macro details in the music that had been elusive. Of course, this excited me to no end and made it increasingly difficult for me to get off my listening seat, which also led to my listening sessions going into the wee hours of the morning.

With the Unity AC cords in the mix, the system created a holographic soundstage that was larger, wider and deeper than I can ever recall. For the first time, I felt the music stretching well outside of the physical plane of the  loudspeakers creating a very good disappearing act.  The added dimensionality was greatly aided by the Unity AC cord’s dexterity in the areas of image solidity, stability and focus. Subtle details in pitch variation and bowing techniques and texture became more apparent than when other AC cords were in place.

I was very fortunate to acquire a full collection of the complete Beethoven’s String Quartets by Quartetto Italiano (Philips 6703 081-082, 6706 031) on LP.  Practically every night (for weeks), I stayed up late and rewarded myself with the Beethoven String Quartets.  The Quartetto Italiano’s rendition of the Quartets is a magnificent recording. I put on one of my favorites, the String Quartet in F, Op. 18 N0.1, and it was compelling. The notes flowed out with remarkable speed and natural tonality with the Jorma Unity AC cord than with other AC cords, creating a denser, richer mix of harmonic nuances. The strings stood out with more sheen and complexity.  The individual instruments were also more finely drawn than I was used to hearing.  Similarly, solo performers were rendered flawlessly; Mstislav Rostropovich playing J.S. Bach’s Cello Suite N0.3, BWV 1009 (EMI 7243 5 55365 2) proved extraordinary in scope and range.  The added dimensionality was apparent from the first note while the solidity and focus gave new meaning to the term rock solid.  The subtle details of pitch variation and bowing textures were better illuminated than I was accustomed to hearing.  There was nothing artificial about its voicing of the musical tapestry.  String overtones shone with a natural sheen.  There was no grain, added flavor, or grunge whatsoever. Just music.

Now that I am using only Jorma Design Unity cables, listening to music is more alive, organic, and far more enjoyable. Again, in the final analysis, it’s about being transported right into the performance. Starting out with thee Jorma Unity Interconnects and speaker cables and then slowly ending up with the entire arsenal has been a journey that I am glad to have taken. I have heard other brands – some more expensive too – but they did not impact my system nearly as much as the Unity AC cords.

To kick off my experiences with the Unity Power Cable, I started with the CH Precision C1.2 DAC while the Marten Parker Trio speakers were still connected. Normally powered with a GigaWatt LC-2 EVO, the change to the Jorma Unity Power cable retained the level of resolution and transparency while adding a pleasant increase in air and refinement, a sweet and mellow, and particularly liquid and well-saturated midrange, and a warm, smooth bass. Powered with the Jorma, the DAC’s presentation was now pretty much the opposite of what it was with the LC-2 EVO. Nevertheless, the cable does not reduce transparency and while it adds a good dose of richness and saturation, it also does not color the sound. Hardness in recordings is reduced and dryness does not get a chance. Conversely, the GigaWatt can verge on the lean side and it can exacerbate dryness but it also encourages propulsion and expression. On the other hand, the Jorma has a gentler, more free-breathing, not quite as lively and dramatic but arguably more organic approach.

To my ears, the Unity cables are exceedingly natural. There is neither exaggeration nor beautifying, no polishing, and no added sparkle. But very importantly, nothing is taken away, either! There’s very little in the way of overlaid character and no feeling of any warmth or gravy being injected as some cables do. And yet, Unity provides timbres and textures in a well-saturated and very realistic manner. Well done, very well done indeed.
