That's the problem dude...

It 'has' to say 'Rega', 'British Fidelity', 'Voodoo Creations', 'Black Mamba'.

This is a cables thread; I'll just say that I got that Proton while working at an A/V store in my senior year in college. The store also sold McIntosh and I A/B'ed the 270W/ch beast ($2700 retail, year 1988) with some B&W 801s. Of course, the McIntosh sounded better. How much better? Go to the Voodoo Lounge and discuss that with your friends.

One Audiogon member, Aeneas9 was selling one of those Protons. Said in the classified that he had to replace it w/ an Audio Research in order to make the upgrade worthwhile.

The Voodoo is everywhere...and yesterday I bought an original U.S. Cavalry saddle (1942) in great shape for $75!

I am going to have a horse again, not an Audio Research.

¿Comprende?
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...
The Absolute Power Cord was DESIGNED & ENGINEERED to perform and to do so cost effectively. No Voodoo. No fancy sheathing. That's why Chesky Records is using so many of them. My Proton AA-1150 power amp is using one and it's performing beautifully. I thought the bass would be the main improvement but it was in high frequency smoothness.

Gregm, thanks for the feedback. I really have taken a lot of of heat for defending the Absolute P/C and the Technics 1200 TT. I stay put to my position regarding both. I know my power cords are awesome. So is my 1200.
