Absolute Power Cords Whose heard them

Dave puts it in good perspective, the original add by dealer was perhaps too "enthusiastic" in praise of this cable. I am even more impressed with Absolutes performance than Dekay, one reason perhaps is because I have
all solid state Musical Fidelity gear and Dekay has some tube gear. But I have used several of the top cables at the
$150-300 retail range (HT ProAC11, Shunyata Sidewinder, Silver Audio Powerburst etc) and the Absolutes were the best. The good news is for the price of one Sidewinder I could buy enough Absolute AC cords for booth systems!

Absolutes are tricky, kind of like Analysis plus products
they sound so smooth and relaxed you are first think they are dull and you are missing something. After further listening you realize what you are missing is the leaness and grain other AC cords can produce to make an exciting sound. In my system none of the above cords could match
the Absolutes which are smooth and musical. If you are looking for a cord to make a warm/lush system sound lean and exciting this is not for you.

As Dekay mentions if you want to spend $300 or more you can get even better sound. One other benefit is Absolutes are very light and extremely flexible, easy set-up and good for
use with bearing isolation systems. The monster size cords may sound good but can be hassle to install in a rack system. Because everyone has different system and musical tastes you will get different opinions, but I think these are great for nuetral SS systems!

I have several lower priced PCs, the best being a Coincident PC that I use on my CDP. In most applications I prefer the Absolute PC over my Transparent Powerlink Plus/Super, and LAT PCs. The Absolute PC is less colored, more dynamic, and smoother sounding then the Transparent and LAT cords (120$ - 240$ ea.). They're basically cheap looking 14 ga. SJT extension cords, however they provide a tight connection at both ends... possibly the key to their performance at the price.

I use two different systems, a solid state and tube. I agree with what Megasam stated, well put!

Thanks for the backup guys. I was waiting to get my butt kicked in this thread. By the way, the three PC's that Sam mention's in his post are all one's that I have previously used, so I guess that I need to raise the ceiling of my experience to $280 (I forgot about the Sidewinder). As synergy is always at play, there was one PC that I did like better on my Musical Fidelity X-amp, which was a Stealth HAC PC (which I just sold). It made cymbals sound better and we all know that this is always a major plus. I am no longer using this amp (and may sell it as well) so sold the HAC to help cover the expense of another recent purchase.

Well Dekay, here I come: Bill and his partner carefully designed the cord. It's not luck. It's OFC, of a carefully chosen gauge and strand pattern, soldered at both ends. It does have a thin foil shield, perhaps not enough for digital applications--I can't say that. It's also UL listed. Not bad for $40. BTW, I emailed you about burning CDs w/the Absolute cord feeding my tower. Yes, the bass improves. It is noticeable...
