Best component ever for the ...

I nominate the Absolute Power Cord from gttgroup.com as the best audio component ever for the money.

I have had this $40 power cord in my system for 48 hrs+ and am astounded by its performance and value.

I would appreciate if posters to this thread post only positive nominations or constructive commentary, positive or negative, regarding the nominations.

As noted on another thread regarding the Absolute Power Cord, I am not a shill for this company but an extremely satisfied customer. Also noted in the other thread, I would like to see the importer of this product prosper. If you would like to argue over any of the points mentioned in this paragraph please do so on the other post.

These power cords truly are amazing.

God bless.

Perhaps the timing of this thread is less than optimal, given the controversy these things seem to have stirred up, but I stand by my nomination of this product and the spirit in which it was given.

I am assuming many here at Audiogon over the years have had a similar experience to my own, in this case listening to an inexpensive product that does wonders in their system.

I am not aware of any other thread about the Absolute Power Cord other than the one previously mentioned. I truly apologize for any breach in etiquette I may have transgressed out of ignorance.

I am still hoping this thread will provide the information I was looking for, but if not, I will post it again at a later date and leave my nomination out.

God bless.

I made squares out of a self hardening clay. I made two sizes (that I stack) the larger are 1.5 X 1.5 X .5 inches and the smaller ones are .75 X .75 X .5 inches. between the squares I insert a piece of "foamtastic" for dampening purposes. The total cost: 66 cents for a 8 inch X 11 inch sheet of foamtastic and 8 bucks for 10 pounds of clay. So I gues the total is around a buck for everything. (10 pounds of clay will make at least 50 squares) I have compared these homemade items with other isolation devices nad find I prefer the sound of my homemade setup. I'm not sure this is what you wanted but I'm happy.

Vibrapods. $6 each. Enough said.

Emily, interesting. Where, in particular, do you use the DIY isloation squares? My contribution: take empty cigarillo (or flat cigarette) boxes, bore a hole, and thread cables through them. An effortless way of keeping power cords away from signal cables, etc.
