Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords


Is it just me or has anyone else ever felt amazed after hearing a low-priced power cord breathe new life into their formerly congested sounding over-priced cosmetically corded system? WAIT!! I know the answer because the question has been asked before......but probably not about the Absolute
Power Cord. I wondered if anyone else has tried this particular cord and what their impressions were. Thanks

I'm going to take my Monster HTS2000 out of the system and run these straight into the outlet as the salesman recommended. I can't wait to see how it sounds. I hope for a big improvement. I'm using an Audio Refinement Complete amp and Magnepan MMG speakers.
Hi Pete: I ordered two of them to upgrade the power cords "on" my Monster HTS2000's and a spare to play around with. I am looking into retrofitting male IEC plugs to the Monsters and will upgrade one to start so that I can do an A/B. I can't handle the sound with my power situation without the Monsters in the system during the day/evening (even playing "I Love LA" doesn't make a dammed bit of difference:-) and require the surge protection as well. You are always a little speedier than I am and I will look forward to your post. I also have a pair of BMI Whales cooking in right now that will be used on the player and DAC, so will be able to give an opinion (one anyway) on how these stack up.
After spending too much time researching power cords. I ordered the Absolute Cord figuring $40 wasted wouldn't be too bad. The cord came in 2 days! Hospital grade end looks fine, IEC end kind of cheap. Cord says made in China, well I'm Chinese what can I say....The sound is improved by about 5-10%. I used it on an Audio Analogue Puccini Integrated. $900 bought used for $400. No way am I going to spend $200 on any power cord. Improved drive, more open high end, more detail on female vocals, a bit more midbass impact. I appreciate all the meaningful responses. Bottom line, it will improve a decent system, but no way will 'transform' your system. I have Sonus Faber Speakers. Rotel HDCD CDP.
Gjeong: If your Rotel has an IEC outlet, give the cord a try on it instead of the amp. I get a lot more duck for the buck on my front end components and less impact on the amps in regard to power cords.
I can check it out. He doesn't own Lamms or any of the equipment mentioned, nor do these cords cost more than $10 retail in catalog. Bet anyone out there can find these in about 1 hr. They are molded plastic cables.
GTT is hardly a top retailer
