Power Cords


I am looking for a new power cord (two meters long is sufficient). I would use it on a Adcom GFP-750 now and possibly move it to a Classe CA-201 amp later on if I get a second cord. I have heard a lot about the MIT Z Cord 2, some of the Synergistic research cords and all of the Powersnakes. I would definately buy used and am willing to spend up to $700 (though I wouldn't mind getting something less expensive). Thanks for your thoughts!

Email stnemo@starpower.net and learn why his Stealth power cords are so good. (He's the designer, and all his cables can be seen at www.interlinkhouse.com.) I've found his a lot better than Classe and Cardas and some homemade ones of my own that were also better than Classe and Cardas. Don't pay a king's ransom for a power cord, not that they're unimportant. Stealths have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Audition the Coincident power cable - moderately priced and will surprice you, the way they perform, needs at least 100 hrs. to sound it's best - very black - email Hifilogic@hotmail.com to audition one.
You could get into the Powersnakes Black Mamba or the new Powersnakes Viper even for what you are willing to spend. I had some Harmonic Tech AC 11s for my Pass amps and I found that the stock cords sounded better, if you have a bright system the Harmonic Tech might help, but for me they sound dark and slow. If you can afford it, nothing that I've tried even comes close to the King Cobra, it is laughably better than anything I've ever tried. You might check with Anthony he is very knowledgable and has great prices.
The Coincident is a great buy for the money.You dont need to spend 700.00 on a power cord.You can put the money elsewhere.Do you have dedicated power to your system.Also a PS Audio 300 used will get you more benifit than a 700.00 power cord.
Read the feedback about the BMI EEL Reference power cords, right here at the power cable auctions.I have 2 less costly BMI Majik cords that bettered my Audioquest DIY cords with top connectors ! I also have 3 EEL cords and another on the way, that after burned in ,have opened up everything,deeper and tighter bass,smoother and more detailed mids and highs as well as an improved soundstage.I have more volume and have to turn down from my normal level,and this has all happened with my PS Audio PP-300 (which does an incredible job in its own right !) .Click on any BMI auction for feedback and company information.These modestly priced $650. cords out perform many more costly cords(there was a topic at Sound Advice with many posts that were all positive about BMI which included improvements over more costly cords,but a couple of clowns cased the topic to be removed) In auction they can usually be had at about 1/2 the price.Once the word gets out and some reviews are done ,the cords will sell at retail and auctions will be no more.Highly recommended !
