PowerSnake Owners Unite!

David, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you (or at least get you one of those alcohol "lower GI's" that you are so fond of)...they're $1200 for the Gold, and around $600 or $700 for the Silver. The Gold one is the one everybody is talking about. Ok, any last requests???.............As for these cords, apparently you become one with God after you put them in your system, or so I gather.

I could not have said it better.

I own one Black Mamba and 2 Sidewinders. They replace Harmonic Tech pc which was an improvement. I was in Hamilton, Canada last weekend (near Ontario) and heard the Foundation Research line conditioner/power cord in a friend's system. The improvement was obvious. The design concept uses "filters" in both directions so that your components do not pass any signal back into your ac. They are basically a shieled power cord with a box in the middle. I plan to replace all snakes at once then individually with these for evaluation. Will report on impressions. Has anyone heard of Foundation Research out of Canada?

Mikeg: Foundation Research is operated my a very smart Canadian engineer, Ed Wolkow, who designs product for Hewlett Packard. He has designed a wonderful phono stage and preamp (VR5 and VR6), not yet available in the USA. Here is a guy who quietly and unassumingly designs and builds stuff for the sheer love of music. He is fanatical about system synergy and how to go about trying to extract musicality from a system. I think we will be hearing much more of his products in the future. I believe that the only retailer of Foundation Research, currently, is Alternative Audio in Toronto.

Hyda is coming.......for sneak peak go to http://www.gcaudio.com/gcaarrivals.html looks to be completely novel product using "stardust" tech.......price is beyond my budget, Sam
