Titan Audio Eros Signature power cord/ForceField Module RFI control

I was very taken by the immediacy of the performance of Eros Signature. It has excellent bass, with depth and clarity shining through immediately. This was also not at the expense of anything further up the signal chain. The midrange is open and expansive, with excellent clarity and vocal projection and the high-frequencies are admirably lithe and free from any kind of edge. The overall sound is dynamic and energetic, but without the zingy leading-edge of some similarly priced contenders. I’d suggest that it’s the perfect partner for decent performing electronics (in the Hegel or Primare class) rather than an entry-level cord for the highest of high-enders, but even when used in more lofty systems, the Eros Signature’s sense of overall balance, coupled with that good, deep bass, shines through.

Some cables impose their sonic signature on the music and it is why power cords are often so important in creating a good foundation for the sound. While that has often ended with companies creating whole families of cables for a ‘nose-to-tail’ cable approach. That doesn’t seem to be so important with Titan Audio; the absence of character (in a good way) means the Eros Signature is a neutral canvas upon which the rest of the system makes its mark. The bass depth, the impact-free sound on the mid and top, an absence of background noise, edge, or zing all make for a very honest presentation overall.

I’m in two minds about the FFT, however. When it works well, it seems to make the power cord deliver even more clarity with less ‘spikiness’ or harshness (not that there is much harshness to hear from the Eros Signature without FFT). When it doesn’t, it over-smooths the sound. In part, the difference is situational; use a system with a lot of wal-wart power supplies, have a house filled with phone chargers and the like, or live somewhere where the AC ‘juice’ is never less than ‘awful’ and ‘using the Force(Field)’ makes the sound significantly improved over the base Eros Signature. If you live in the rolling hills of the South Downs, where your nearest neighbour’s Wi-Fi router is a mile or more away and everything has its own dedicated linear PSU, then there’s no need to raise the forcefield. However, the overall balance was positive with or without FFT and even if it acts a little too strongly for your setting, such things are relative. I guess in an ideal world, you might want to dial the FFT’s impact up or down according to the environment. But no biggie either way.

Titan Audio is clearly confident about its products in that they come with a lifetime warranty. I am always wary about such things with power products (it’s like the old joke about the lifetime warranty on a watch… when it breaks, the mainspring springs out of the watch and kills you), but for once I think this is genuine. The Eros Signature is a fine power cord and more than has a place even in this most contended of markets. That it can be enhanced by the ForceField Module makes a lot of sense in some systems, too, but where the Eros Signature is an easy recommendation, the FFT is more qualified and system-dependent, so if you can try it first… all the better.
