Absolute Power Cord does the trick

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.

I have pump wire for sale ... $40 per 8' pair!! I say it's good, so it must be worth it!!!

Jeez guys, if the damned cord was $500 there would be no debate, and you'd likely happily line up to buy it. A genuine value product comes along too infrequently, enjoy it! Jeff

Thanks megasam for being more articulate than me. I have only one other after market power cord to compare this one to. After experimenting, I've kept the other cord on the CD player as its a bit... sweeter (is it the wattgate plugs)? I ended up using this absolute cord on the pre-amp for best use in my system. Going from stock cords to this was a big jump, cleaned up the hash, darkened the background -- what the heck else is a pc supposed to do? To the trigger happy posters, go listen to your van halen.

This was easily the best $40 I have ever spent on an audio product.

It has been implied on another thread that hospital grade power cords are all the same. Does anyone have any personal experience that can comment on this assertion? I would assume if this were true there would not be a very big market for more expensive cords.

I am really looking forward to my next listening session.

God bless.
