Hello Duster,
I wanted to come out of my lurker's cave to thank you for the Acoustic Revive 8800 recommendation. For a long time, I've been unsatisfied with the power cables that have fed my power strip (which feeds the entire system), some of which have been very pricey. I ordered some 8800 using one of your links (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Acoustic-Revive-POWER-STANDARD-tripleC8800-2m-2meter-Cable-From-JP/172450823418). Great service from Japan, by the way!
I had a set of FI-50 (R) connectors handy - built the power cord, plugged it into the power strip, and VOILA! Better than anything I've heard, even without break-in.
I'm approaching 100 hours on the cable, and it is, as you say, slightly on the sweet side of neutral, but using it in this application is actually a plus to my ears. In addition, there are no unmusical artifacts during playback.
I'm thinking about getting another for my power amp, but everything sounds so good right now I'm hesitant to make any changes.
Again, many thanks for your recommendation, Duster!
Dave Allison
