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.
