Absolute Power Cord does the trick

The previous thread was way to long and filled with flame mail. I want to thank the guy who started it as it finally got me interested in checking out his story... Where there's smoke..., some times there's fire. I took the risk and ordered one to try. Best $40 I ever spent on audio. The damn thing simply does the job: clean quiet power, everything sounds more detailed and natural against a dark background. Go figure.

The only other good deal in power cords I know of are on eBay. The MAS Power Master (+/- $50) and the Audio One Reference Power Cord (+/- $75) made by Stu Wein at AudioParts@aol.com --- They can also be purchase directly from Stu.

Stu's cables were reviewed favorably in Stereophile when he was still in busiess full time. He made the digital cable that came with the original Wadia DAC.

I too was curious about this inexpensive cable, I've
had mine for three days now hooked up to my resolution
cd-55 and I can honestly say it did make a difference,
which I am still trying to figure out and understand?

Mike Vansevers admits on his web site he does not use the best materials (ie, most expensive) available for his power cords. He uses the materials that sound the best after extensive listening. Maybe the reason these Absolute cords are so good and so cheap is one of those accidents of history. Giant killers and near giant killers are not made, they are born.
