RE: Termination Clamping

There is something about the Oyaide Black Mamba V2 that tends to not provide the type of synergy for high-current applications as the Acoustic Revive 8800 does. Other than being a 12 AWG power cord instead of a 10 AWG power cord which is more advisable for use with a power amplifier, there is nothing I can surmise about the design that would account for such a thing. The Acoustic Revive 8800 is also a 12 AWG power cord, with only a very thin pure copper foil shield, just like the Black Mamba V2 but without a drain wire (the 8800 features a floating shield design), so the gauge of the two power cords can't account for the difference in performance, in this case.

That said, I can only hope others find the Acoustic Revive 8800 to sound as good as I do for a high-current application, since the sonic signature of the power cord is very satisfying for the purpose, IME. The price is also very reasonable for such a high-quality product, and could be considered a great mate to use with the Oyaide Black Mamba V2 placed on source components and a preamplifier, with the Acoustic Revive 8800 placed on a power amplifier, and to connect a power distributor/conditioner to an AC outlet installed at the wall.
