Omega Mikro powercord users help:

Hello,
About a month ago I purchased an Omega Mikro pc and for those who own this, know that you get two and keep the one that works in your system. Well, it's been a month now and I can't tell which one sounds better. I notice on the red cord the sound is fuller, and the blue it's a little more focused.
On some day I'm sure it's the blue, on others it's the red. I'm currently using it on the BAT vk-d5 cdp or Bat vk-5i preamp. Anyone with pointers on what to look for exactly would be much appreciated.
THanks,
mhu

i've heard that 75% of equipment sounds better on the lcx red, that's the one i kept. It was easy to tell with most things i tried it on ,except my audio logic dac. Eventually the red worked best on my levinson transport,and,in my cd system,i always crave that fuller sound. It is a great cord,enjoy

Sometimes it will be the case in a given system that there is no clear cut better choice between the red and the blue. Don't try to listen for a difference that may not be there. If there were a meaningful difference for your system, it would be clearly audible. If you think the blue is consistently a little more focused, that might be the better choice. An improved focus and clarity of the sound is typically the type of difference one would expect to hear.

I was surprised that I could tell a difference, but it certainly wasn't night and day, and BOTH the red and blue PCs sounded so good that I would have been happy with either.

Well in my case, with an OM plugged into my cdp, the difference was obvious. The red was definitely superior. On my preamp the difference was not as great, but still audible. Again the red won the day. I agree with Rushton that if the blue focuses better, that's probably what you should go with. Take your time and relax about it and your choice will probably become clearer to you.
