Has there ever been one? Recently? For those of use not lucky enough to qualify for The Cable Co.'s library demo program, how do you decide on what works for you?
In your opinion is there a short list for me to start looking for used? Names that come to mind are, lossless, Kimber, Harmonic Tech, MIT, JPS and Audio Magic...have a I left any out for the journey?
the solution to the burn-in issue is obtain "couplers" which enable you to connect as many power cords together as you want.
within a 30 day period the break-in process should be completed. if necessary, purchase a break-in device or use a break-in cd. either one will shorten the break-in time and permit a comparsion of say 5 power cords, within the 30 day alloted time limit.
been there last year - a tedious tedious process. my top picks were the RSAD alethias sig, shunyata anaconda helix alpha and the lessloss PC. if it is in your price range the RSAD PCs I believe are very hard to beat for the money. they are very neutral and natural. their alethias sig to me was second to none by a very wide margin.
Voodoo cables LLC.... and Bruce does have a trial period built in... and/or an upgrade option last time I checked.
Voodoo Power cords which have both performance and value. The Gold Dragon was named power cord of the year recently, in an offshore magazine as I recall. I have two Golds, one Black, and a Tesla II as well.
The new Tesla series power cords from Synergistic Research have been getting a lot of positive accolades too since their release, the T2 & T3 respectively... and from one other member who has tried both Lessloss and the SR Tesla cords, prefered the Teslas.
Your mileage may vary though.
David Elrod makes a very special array of power cables too. I've one of his Signature series and I really enjoy what it brings to the table.
