Power Cord Advice

I haven't tried any of the ones mentioned by other responders, but I still think you'd be well served by trying STEALTH HAC power cords. Remarkably affordable, and they've done a great job in my system. They come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. See www.interlinkhouse.com, or email stnemo@starpower.net. Recently some were Dutch auctioned, and went for under $80.

Hi Jla. The FIM gold PC would be my first choice at $1200. A used cobra for $600 to $700 or a FIM silver ($700 retail I think) would be my 2nd choice. The coincident PC is under $300 retail and is very good. Hope I was some help.

Hi Jla; The Syn. Res. Master Couplers are excellent at their price-- and well above it I think. I have them on all my major components, and had auditioned six other cords before deciding, including ESP, Electraglide, Shunyata Sidewinder, and some others, but none of those you mention above. I plan to audition the more expensive Syn. Res. Reference for my source components, and would also like to hear some of the mid-priced Shunyatas, but the Master Couplers are so good I'm in no hurry to replace them. Good Luck. Craig.

For what it is worth I have been very impressed with BMI customs I purchased on this site. I mention this because they certainly outperform the HT cords by a wide margin and in my system they were a better fit than a new Viper I had on loan for about a week, did not tempt me at all. They are reasonably priced.

Fooled around with about 10 different power cords ranging in retail price from $500- $1500. I have to agree with Petland, the winner for the best value and construction dollar for dollar in a power cord is the BMI virtue EEL reference custom. I have 4 in my system, and gives me the improvements I needed in my system. They are very detailed and dynamic sounding. Great service on BMI's end to answer questions and custom designed my eels to work in my system +$50K audio system.
