Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement?


I'm a Power Cord FREAK!!! I heard lots of good things about BMI. I'm looking to put it in my CDP. Right now I'm using a AQ power cord the NRG-5 retail some where $600 dollars, I pay about $200 not bad for the money. Any way any experience with the Bmi Oceanic Statement would be appreciated. Thank You.

I have all BMI Oceanics and they are the best I have heard...and that is many. The street price is much below the list.....just take a look here on A-gon. That said, the Hammerhead 5 is a great cable too. I have turned several audiophiles onto them who have not only bought them themselves, but gotten their audio pals to do the same. FWIW
I have used mostly BMI for years now, but previously tried many others. the higher end stuff included Stealth Dreams, Elrod EPS's and Statements, NBS, Dream State, Siltech and Fusion. The list is very long otherwise, but suffice it to say I always came back to BMI. I didn't care much for the Whale Supreme, but the Orca series was really nice and the Hammerhead series amazing although I never heard the 4. The HH5 was so good, I bit the bullet and have 3 Oceanics, one of them Silver. Every BMI power cord I have sold has been met with incredible praise from the buyer....it's nice testimony. And, for me, they have represented surprisingly large system upgrades. The Oceanics are heads and shoulders above what I have ever had the pleasure of listening to in my system. BMI's cords make it so there is no guessing or wondering if there is an improvement in the sound of your system, it is in your face apparent that they show what a power cord can add. Try one of the earlier models out if you ever get a chance. Not many come around...more testimony!? Anyway, I hope you you get to check them out, it would be nice to hear what you think....or hear....
I am using all Oceanics as well, but without the Rhodium. All are Statements, one is silver, one gold. The differences are subtle, but I would still love to hear the rhodium version. The original is on my Klyne preamp, the Gold on my Plinius amp, and the Silver on my AMR CD. That seems to be where the fit best in my system.

I have a friend here who is very well informed and widely experience who had no luck using the BMI's. That is the exception to my knowledge, but there is always something to be said for synergy and aural taste. YMMV!

To my ear, the Oceanics are very neutral, extremely natural, quiet and very detailed without being etched or aggressive. They offer a pace and a presence that is very lifelike, open, and accurate. The Oceanics are the best I have heard and seem well suited for all my need and applications on my power, front end and source gear.

That said, I have never heard the Kraken, but have heard good things about it....I can't help but alway hear "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!" resonating in a Scottish brogue in the back of my mind.

As long as we're enjoying the tunes and finding it fun, the path is the right one!
Hi, yes, I have some notes at home regarding the sounds of differing Oceanics. I have a recent cord, a silver terminated one and one with the original metallurgy. they are all 3.4-4 ft. long. I have recently been trying other combinations of cables. It sounds like you like the Rhodium a lot. What Wattgates are you waiting on? Would you like to try one of mine? Where are you located?
