Review:
Titan Audio, a relatively young company from Northern Ireland, has quickly established itself in the world of high-fidelity power products. Specializing in power cords, distribution blocks, and related accessories, Titan offers a range of five power cables—each with a ‘Signature’ version—alongside three distribution blocks, with the Eros model sitting at the premium end of the lineup.
A Power Cord Sweet Spot
Priced at $899, the Eros Signature power cable occupies a strategic position in the market. It caters to two key audiences:
- Audiophiles with well-rounded systems under $15,000 looking for a meaningful power upgrade.
- High-end users who appreciate the benefits of a quality power cord but aren’t ready to invest in ultra-premium options costing thousands of dollars.
Technical Highlights
The Titan Eros Signature boasts a carefully engineered design aimed at maximizing power delivery and minimizing interference:
- Four 6mm OCC multi-strand conductors with an external multi-core dual drain.
- PTFE dielectric and braided steel shielding for improved electrical isolation.
- Cryo-treated custom red copper connectors for both IEC and Shuko/US plugs.
- 1.5m minimum length, scientifically determined by research from Queen’s University Belfast as optimal for balancing resistance, capacitance, and inductance.
Innovative ForceField Technology
One standout feature of the Eros Signature is its ForceField Module, an active RFI and EMI shielding system. Connected via a flying lead from the IEC connector, it:
- Uses a dedicated plug-top power supply compatible with UK, EU, and US sockets.
- Wraps the mains cable in an electromagnetic shield, reducing interference and ensuring cleaner power delivery.
- Attaches easily via Velcro straps for seamless integration.
Titan Audio plans to expand the ForceField Technology (FFT) to more cables, alongside a multi-way power supply for enhanced system flexibility.
Performance: Clarity, Depth, and Balance
Listening impressions of the Eros Signature reveal a cable that delivers immediate sonic improvements:
- Bass: Deep, articulate, and controlled, without overpowering the rest of the frequency range.
- Midrange: Open and expansive, allowing vocals and instruments to shine with clarity.
- High Frequencies: Smooth and refined, avoiding the harsh edges found in some competing cables.
- Overall Presentation: Dynamic yet balanced, making it an excellent match for electronics in the Hegel or Primare class.
Unlike some power cables that impose their own sonic character, the Eros Signature acts as a neutral conduit, letting the rest of the system shine without introducing artificial coloration.
Final Verdict
Titan Audio has created a well-engineered, high-performance power cable that balances performance, value, and neutrality. Whether you’re fine-tuning a mid-range system or supplementing a high-end setup, the Eros Signature is a worthy consideration.
