RE: So, how does the powercord in your picture sound?



Rick B,

I've to once again add..., in all my years at this, since 1978 | having been an audio hardware buyer between 1984-1991, having traveled the globe as a means of finding nice sounding electronics, that not only complimented the lines we already carried on behalf of our rather upscaled ( at the time ) clients whom were spoiled by the Linn | Naim | Snell | NYAL | PS Audio | Micromega | Metronome | Marantz | Martin-Logan | Rega | Ariston items, yet our choice of cabling was limited to brands like Chord Company | DNM Design | Straight Wire, those were extremely satisfying times.

Yet looking at the average cost of what was viewed by many as entry level cables | power cords | isolation footers and so on, which cost around $398, and seeing what is possible for less than $200, let's just say from my point of view, is amazing. And having spent as well as personally heard in home cabling approaching $4.900, I know that what I'm currently hearing is enough for me to call it a lifetime..., as those that have known me since said period, know that I only stand behind things ( items ) I truthfully believe in. No measurements needed, this is based purely upon how I react to listening to music as weighed by what my ears | senses | heart tells me sounds | feels right.

I'd at least offer my set of references as it relates to the cables in which I've heard | consider amongst the most moving brands, said cabling brands are Audio Note UK | Audio Note-Kondo Japan | Shindo Labs Japan | Tekne Japan | Argento Audio Spain | Siltech the Netherlands | Albedo Silver Cables Poland | the original Harmonic Technologies | yes..., even StraightWire Maestro still moves me, there's something in which I've personally come to simply put..., adore about the signature | nature of music playback being rendered by pure silver, and currently as is the case sterling silver cabling.

In my world if the sense of music isn't rendered in an emotional manner, it serves me not. But when I look up and see that on average my listening sessions range between 9-13 per day at least 5 times per week, as well as find myself moved to tears or even wishing to shake my groove thang, color me impressed.

My dollars stop here | a no-brainer at its absolute best..., a bargain of all times as it resides in my world.
