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!

Hi Dave, I'm so glad to know about your findings, since there is little talk about the performance of the Acoustic Revive 8800 online. I like it so much for use as a power line distributor array power cord (actually two: one for analog, one for digital) within my computer workstation system, I'm considering using the 8800 for use within the power line distributor array for my main system, as well. Enjoy!
Hi Duster,
I've just found this Acoustic Revive cable on eBay:
https://www.playstereo.com/en/cavi-di-alimentazione/3603-acoustic-revive-power-sensual-triplec-18000-power-cable-15m-cut-sales.html
It's the only site that has any specs on this cable. At first glance, it seems to be 10-gauge instead of 12-gauge - indeed, maybe the only difference.
Have you seen this cable before? The AR 8800 works so well on my power strip that I'm loathe to make any changes, but I can't help being curious!

I think you are correct, Dave.
From what I gather, the Acoustic Revive "Power Sensual" 18000 is the same design as the Acoustic Revive "Power Standard" 8800, but the 18000 is 10 AWG rather than 12 AWG.
If you can afford the 18000, I'm sure it would be considerably more effective (bolder sounding) than the 8800 for a high-current application, but not 'too different' if that's of concern.
The 8800 performs very well for use with a DAC, and more than likely a preamplifier, so the 8800 won't become an orphan if you have another component to try it with.
I would also think the 8800 would perform well when used with a computer for audio purposes.
