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!

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 !
Can people actually hear the differences in power cords? isn't this getting out of hand?
Yes, quite easily. Go get one on trial from a local dealer and compare it to a stock wire. Of course, it won't really matter if your equipment is not very good, but it definately affects good gear. Go listen for yourself.
Art Dudley editor from Listener stated in the recent issue that he couldn't hear the difference in power cords and he certainly has good gear. I agree with the postings that state listen for yourself in your system and make up your own mind.
