Are you sure it will fit?

Have ordered one but they are 'back ordered'..
I am going to replace my home brew cords that feed my Acoustat servos. Currently using CyroMax III cable with Oyaide C/P-004 connectors.
Since I found my Cryomax III with Furutech ends was pretty much blown away by the original Pangea AC-14 -- even better terminated with the Furutechs -- I think you're in for a treat. Time for me to try these white fellas too.
would the black mamba be better than the oyaide tunami for a dac (w4s dac2 dsdse)?
thanks,

IME, the Black Mamba V2 presents a more neutral sonic signature than the Tunami.
If you mean will the power cord fit through the hole in the aluminum stand and into the IEC inlet of the iMac, yes it does.
WoW ...that is great. i would definitely be very interested in your results. If possible...could you email me your thoughts....I actually asked one of the Apple 'Genius' employees saturday about switching pcs and he said that an aftermarket cord 'would not fit the opening'.....so much for the 'Genius' title..thanks..dave
To be clear, the thickness of the power cord does not allow the iMac screen to be pointed downwards, but one can use two different heights of rubber feet that are slightly taller at the back than at the front if needed.The Oyaide Black Mamba-Sigma V2 power cord when placed on my iMac computer performs equally as well (but not the same) from a subjective POV as any other audiophile power cord I've tried with my iMac, regardless of price, and substantially better than any other power cord at and below its moderate price point. In fact, I think the outstanding benefit of the Oyaide Black Mamba-Sigma V2 is its absolute neutrality and lack of tonal coloration, which makes it a very transparent sounding option for my particular computer audio application, to my ear.
The sonic signature of the Oyaide Black Mamba-Sigma V2 power cord falls smack-dab in the middle of wet vs. dry presentation, which makes it easier to successfully combine with various other power cords placed within a system signal chain. I think of it as an audio-purist option that should appeal to audiophiles who seek a power cord that imparts as little as possible to the signal source. I have not evaluated the Oyaide Black Mamba-Sigma V2 when placed on a high-current power amplifier, but since it only features a very thin copper foil shield with drain wire, the power cord should not affect dynamics as much as braided copper shields and/or perhaps thicker aluminum shields that tend to be detrimental when used for high-current power amplifier applications, IME.
BTW, I enjoy the Oyaide Black Mamba-Sigma V2 so much that I ordered 3 more meters of the bulk cable product from Japan to build two 1.5 meter DIY power cords with.
