Black Sand Cable Power Cords How Good?

How good are the Black Sand Cable power cords? I want to upgrade my stock power cords on my integrated amp and cd player. I have been reading some very positive comments on these cords. I would appreciate any comments from current and previous owners. Budget around three to five hundred for each cord. Thanks.

System:
Plinius 9200
CDP:Naim CD5I-2
DNM Speaker & IC cables
Speakers:Dynaudio Focus 140's on sound anchor 3 post stands

Also FWIW, there are several reviews, mostly positive, over at audio circle. I bought a violet zII at auction here to try out, but sold it recently as it was not as good in my system as other cords I tried (have a used audience and several kaplan cords, in similar price range). it may have been the oyaide 004 terminations, but black sand was a little bright in my system. others seem to like it quite well though

Own a variety of Black Sand cords from the old Black Gold on up. Very happy with all of them and never will sell them. You will not find a better company for outstanding customer service and support. One of the best A'Gon sellers with great pricing, high quality, value, etc.

I'll second what Waveman says about Black Sands's outstanding customer service, and high quality products. One thing I really like about Black Sand is that you can choose from different brands of high quality terminations... and their willingness to consult is very helpfull. Their MK V cabes are very good, and their Statement cables are over the top.

Here's a link to a shootout/review of various PC's that I did a while ago. The Black Sands cables are very nice indeed, but it also depends on where you use them, and the cleanliness of your power, and ...
