New BMI Whale Elite Power Cord

Thanks for the response. I have read some great reviews on SOME of these cords- but wouldn't it be great to find a review where they where ALL the big boys were included- i.e. Shunyata KC; FIM Gold; Fat Boy Electraglide; NBS; BMI Whale, etc. Oh well- guess I can hold on to THAT dream!

The biggest problem with comparing is that every piece of equipment reacts differently to every cord. My NBS Statement is not a good fit for my amp, but it's amazing on the SACD. The Whale has the same detail and smoothness as the NBS on the SACD but it does lack slightly in the depth and three dimension imaging of the NBS. But that's a $3000 cord vs. a $400 cord. The Whale is a steal. On my pre-amp the Fatboy sounds better than either NBS or Whale. You must try cords, and THEY MUST BE BROKEN IN!!!! This type of cord will require 200+ hours min.

Hey Sutts, how ya been? Your still looking for a PC I see. Have you had a chance to hear the FIM yet? Of all the PC you have mentioned, I still think the FIM is going to be very hard to beat. It works everywhere I have tried and in every component unlike some others. I have not had a chance to hear the Whale but was impressed with the Eel. Like Jadem6, I found the KC, Fatboy and some other PC work well in one component and not as well in another. Not so with the FIM. At least not yet. Wish I could give you some info on the Whale. I did spend 2 weeks with the Eel and from what I heard, the Whale would be worth investigating. Good luck in your search. Let me know what you end up with.

Let me start out by saying I have little experience with this cable. I've owned it for about 3 weeks and have been running it in for about 150-200 hours, but my system has been changing recently. What I can tell you is its the best PC I've tried(MIT z cord I & II, Tara RSC, Delta Labs power pro, BMI Eel & Majik). Huge soundstage, lots of depth, black background, big bottom end, refined but detailed. Not as laid back as Eel, and more transparent. It's frustrating having it on only one component at a time; I can hear the other cables "messing" things up. I'll try the Whale in two other systems and let you know.

Thanks guys- appreciate the responses. Hey Bruce- great to hear from you! Long time no speak. Glad ot hear the FIM is working out well. Haven't been able to audition it- as I may have told you, up here in Canada, we don't have such luxuries, and often have to committ to a cord from the U.S. WITHOUT EVEN HEARING IT FIRST (like I did with current Black Mamba). That is why I am still trying to gather as much info as I can from Audiogon posts, etc. Yah- it kinda sucks, esoecially when you;re putting out the kinda payola $$ these things cost. What do you think, for $400 U.S. (3 ft model), should I take a chance on the BMI Whale??
