which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....?

Dekay,

Are you using the BMI Whale PC with an EMC-1 CDP? I just bought one and am looking for a PC to go with it. I'm concerned though that the Whale might be a bit too heavy & stiff for my application.

Is the Whale flexible enough to make a right angle turn from the back of the CDP without putting undue pressure on it? It's sitting on a shelf 4 feet off the ground.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi Ken: I use them on a Cal Icon MkII and a Bel Canto DAC. The PC's are very flexible and they twist, so lining up the IEC is a cinch. They require 4"-6" of room to make the bend behind a component. Setup was easy and they do not seem to be too heavy (the BC DAC only weighs 5 or 6 pounds). I will eventually suspend them with cotton ribbon, but have been using them "hanging on their own" for months now without a problem. I only needed 3' PC's but purchased 5' ones so that they will be long enough for any placement changes that may happen down the line. I learned this lesson with a pair of .5 meter IC's once (which soon became shorter than needed).

Before you make a finial decision try the Ensemble PC's at JC Audio.

The sound will astound you!!!!!!!!! This is not an advertisement, just sharing a good product, from a Great Dealer!!!

Good Listening

I need to jump on the band wagon also. You can't go wrong with the BMI EEL or Whale Elite. Both are great cords at a good value.

Thanks, Dekay. It seems that the Whales are very popular here. Like you, I can get by with a shorter 6' cord, but 8' would look better. Have you compared the Whale to the Eel? I've been told they're also very good.

Thanks too to Lak and Stealth for their input.
