I have also been wondering about the Absolute Power Cords and had been thinking about starting a thread myself. Thanks, Kurt, for the reference to the previous threads. I just read through them for a second time--read them a couple weeks back as well. Helpful information. Do you or anyone else have any further reflections on these and how they compare with other cords? Thanks. --Scott

Yes, They are great You might want to try one

It depends on what you are going to use it for. I bought one thinking I would use it on my Wadia, didn't work. The base became very boomy, and I lost the sound stage (front to back and width), remember this cord has no shielding and on digital it is important to use a good shielded cable. I was going to send it back, but then tried it on my Cary amp and there was a slight improvment from the stock cord. I will keep it, good luck......Bob

I have found the Absolute PC's to be as good as any of the other PC's that I have used (which retailed in the $150-$200 price range). The cord requires approx. 200 hours of run in for the bass to extend and tighten up (just like any other PC that I have used). I on the other hand have experienced no soundstage problems when using the cords on my player's and DAC, though I did not really listen to the PC's very much when they were breaking in as they were either in a second system or running the computer. I have broken in and use three to date. In the main system I use the BMI Whale Elites (a much better PC than the Absolutes) on the digital player and DAC, but I do use an Absolute PC on an Audion 300B SET amp in this setup. I also use them in a second bedroom system and on a CDR as well. I find them to be very smooth and open sounding and again hear no problems with the sound stage which is/was very deep and wide in both systems. What they do not offer up is the full bass response of better PC's (but neither did my old $200 ones) and they are not quite as quiet or detailed. Regardless of all the hype, I think that they are a cheap cord that just got lucky and happens to sound very good.
