Russ Andrews KimberPK14 and PK10 mains cables

What is a "new 'SWR enhancement', which is included in the Palladian Models. This new technology dampens electrical standing wave reflections, letting you hear even more ambience in your recording."?

It adds £600 to the price of a mains cable, so it must be good!

I recon the “SWR Enhancement” is one of these http://www.power-wrap.co.uk/ or a bunch of different sized ferrites, but I suspect it’s actually like the Power Wrap (but surrounded by expensive foam).

Anyone cut one of these £600 lumps open to have a look?

Probably a huge ferrite core. That power wrap thing looks like nonsense! what's it made out of?

I'll tell you a little secret - the silencer is little more than a film capacitor costing pennies (the one on the right in this photo) and the superclamp is a metal oxide varistor (MOV/VDR) (the one on the left in this photo) as found in surge protected socket strips also costing pennies.

Just sounds like it's been impedence matched to me.

I think the powerwrap is a ferrite core, but long and in spiral.

But haven't seen one, except on the web; so pure speculation on my part.

cybersoga: that's why Russ Andrews is a millionaire! Fair play to the bloke.
