Krjr: So tell us more about it, we are all ears. Do they have a website? |
Krjr: Never heard of Absolute (cords that is). Do you have any info on them yourself to share? Are they as effective as let's say the Walker HDL's? What type of system did you just purge with them? |
Carlos: Who doesn't own Lamm, etc.? There have been three claims to this. |
Krjr: I had looked at the add (any true American potlicker couldn't miss it), but the name did not hit home. The price is what scared me away (and I use Mapleshade and Homegrown Adio IC's). If it's that dammed good then they are going to have to charge a lot more than forty bucks before I will give it a try. Wait a minute, I think that it is my thinking that's conjested - what I just said doesn't make any sense. |

Who knows his shit and who is Lammless? I'm confused. |
Yes, it would have been nice to hear about the sonic characteristics of the PC. Other PC's having too much bass or not enough this or that did not really nail it down for me. I now know of a few regular's that have the PC's in hand as I type and soon we will know. |
Gregm: Where do you live? We ship packages to the UK, Italy and Australia on a pretty regular basis (family and friends) and the postage is not that much and some of these are fairly substantial packages. Tip: Don't ship chocolate to Italy for Easter unless the receiving party is intending to use it for fondue. Our average cost is $20-$35. |
Hi Pete: I ordered two of them to upgrade the power cords "on" my Monster HTS2000's and a spare to play around with. I am looking into retrofitting male IEC plugs to the Monsters and will upgrade one to start so that I can do an A/B. I can't handle the sound with my power situation without the Monsters in the system during the day/evening (even playing "I Love LA" doesn't make a dammed bit of difference:-) and require the surge protection as well. You are always a little speedier than I am and I will look forward to your post. I also have a pair of BMI Whales cooking in right now that will be used on the player and DAC, so will be able to give an opinion (one anyway) on how these stack up. |
Gjeong: If your Rotel has an IEC outlet, give the cord a try on it instead of the amp. I get a lot more duck for the buck on my front end components and less impact on the amps in regard to power cords. |
Thanks Pete: I really don't care about the Lammbaste anyway. |
Petern: Search under "Absolute" on Audiogon's first page and the ad will come up. |
Psychic: Ever heard of over sell? Listen closely. |

Dkarmeli: It's defamation, not deformation, even Under Dog knows that. |
JD: I do not have the energy (though I do have the time) to audition a dozen or so dirt cheap power cords. I believe that what has happened with this product is that one particular cord has been found that has superior sound. I would not expect any company that is not a nonprofit one to sell an item at cost, so do not see a problem with the selling price. I also do not feel that the cords will replace the BMI cords that I am breaking in, but am just looking for something more than decent (at a very low cost) to try on the other weak links in my system as I cannot afford to purchase three additional BMI cords at this time. I will of course give them a try on the other components, but will be happy to just use them to upgrade the PC's on my power conditioners and maybe the amp in our second system (these are the areas that I consider to be the weak links). If you would like to try the various under $5 cords (out of curiosity) email me and we can arrange to have you borrow one of my Absolute cords (not yet received) to do the comparisons. I am sure that you realize that most of them will probably suck, but you never know there could be a winner in the bunch (just like the Aiwa CD changer that has been discussed recently these things do come up now and then). I do find some discrepancies between the first and second press releases regarding the history of the cord, but I also find such discrepancies in many of the novels and other material that I read (including newspapers and magazines), and they could just be mistakes and/or a poor choice of wording. The true test to me will be how the cords perform in my setup and I have PC's from four different manufacturers on hand to compare then to. |
I just want to try the cords (still waiting for delivery). I thought of another application for one yesterday (on the new Pioneer CD burner). I just have to order the HT IEC converter plug mentioned in another thread and wonder if an upgraded PC will somehow improve the burned copies. |
