PowerSnake Owners Unite!


OK PowerSnake owners, I think it's high time that we combine our efforts to completely familiarize our fellow Audiogon members with the power cords that we love more than any other on the planet. I'm asking owners of the Sidewinder, Black Mamba, Cobra and King Cobra to tell everyone honestly what these cords have done to improve the sound of their system. Believe me, you haven't really heard what your components sound like until you've heard them through a PowerSnake.

Will keep my Electraglide references and Fat boy!! They do magic and took the world by surprise in 1997 as Shunyata is in 2000.Electraglide is a bargain in the used market. You can purchase a used FatBoy for the price of a Black Mamba.Many reviews still prefer the FatBoy over the King Cobra. It is all system dependent and based on how much in debt you want to go. You do the Math.
I agree word for word the posting by Samuel. There is also a new kid on the block. FIM PCs. Better than the king at half the price (FIM PCs retail for $1200)??
Hi Brulee, I also have been hearing great things about the FIM power cords from the good people at Avalon. I'm wondering how big of an improvement I'll get using them on my mono VK60s. I'm still in the dark ages with my power cords. They're from Discrete Technolgy who went under quite some time ago. I think they were one of the first companies to come out with hi-end power cords and were considered top notch in their day. Well I sure do have a lot of tweaking to do to realize my systems full potential and I'm loving the journey. I just wish I had more time and money. Don't we all. Good luck everyone and ENJOY, Tom
Brulee, who sells these FIM cords? Only Avalon dealers? I simply must try whatever the latest new cord thingie happens to be...Have you compared this $1200 model to the Synergisitc Reference Coupler on a power amplifier (either tube or ss), per chance??
