for the green dragon power cord

Lovely product. Ordered it with the Blue Dragon, the amp oriented cord. To say the least there is a major noticable and ever amazing improvement on my system.
I recently had bought an Arcam FMJ p25 with a set of Tara Labs RSC air2 cable, and, to my shegrin, the system wasn't doing all that I wanted, considering the price point. This was an upgrade from Canare/Bryston cable, and Anthem MCA 20 amp. The bass was fuller but muddier too. Soundstage wasnt' as focused but sound was smoother and more laid back in its backgound imaging.
HOWEVER, after hooking these two cords (Green Dragon, Blue Dragon) up immediatly made the system "shine", and perform to its fullest. Dark background, minute details in decay were much more present, delivering a 3D sensation. Detail and "air" around instruments is much cleaner and more discernable. Vocals are spooky real. I feel like I could touch Bjork if I reached out my hand. You can really feel the power coming into and out of the system. Very dynamic and clean, and musical. Very recommended considering the price. Who wants to pay hords more for a power cord? Not me, nor would I have bought into this idea of a power cord offering a very noticeable difference, had it not been for the nobility of moon-audio's price offerings, and prompt customer service.
Read the details in the makeup of these cords compared to other independant competitors. These are very well made and ALLOT cheaper than mass market, upscale (up-priced) brand names.
This review is only after about 3 hours of listening! Noticed spikes of distortion in some places...burn in. Two weeks to burn in though, and already its made my system do what it's supposed to do: immerse me into the music as though it were live!

Product Weakness: nada
Product Strengths: Clean power transfer, noticeable improvement on dynamics of soundstage, bass impact and control, vocals 3D. Awesome stuff.
