In Reply to: I've gone pretty much the same direction... so we must be right! nt posted by clarkjohnsen on October 18, 2006 at 08:42:01:
- "Anyone who has ever compared the sound of the red OM power cords with the opposite direction wire pulled blue OM power cords will have to accept that they sound quite different."I do accept this brother. But, I prefer the non-directional black OM myself. The red OM has an edgy, angry sound to it, the blue OM is sort of laid back and cool, but the black...well, it just has no coloration whatsoever.
cheers,
AJ
