Cabledyne - cable bargain of the century

I run a 2m Nordost Brahma AC cable from the wall to my power distributor. First cable from the wall is important as you all know.

On a whim I purchased a $200 AC power cable from an unknown company called Cabledyne.
www.cabledyne.com

It is better than the Brahma in every way. Not only for audio but for video (im a videophile as well, another expensive burden).

I really did not want to post this thread, as the whole 'X cable beats Nordost' thing is so cliche, but its true for me. For AC cables at least, Cabledyne is the bargain of all bargains and deserves some promotion.

A few proviso's - the Cabledyne is a 12 gauge cable. I'm fairly sure the Brahma is 13-14 gauge. So perhaps my system was AWG limited and the extra size is responsible for what im hearing/seeing? Possible but unlikely, as my wall wiring is not even 12 awg.

Cabledyne have a consistant design philosophy across their entire cable line - 6N monocrystal copper square wire as the conductor, MFA airtubes, and a passive chromium alloy sheath.

There are no higher/lower product lines, and very reasonable prices.

Yes Sonic Genius, that is what I am saying. But this is only in my system and only as a wall to distributor cord.

I have 2 more coming for a direct head to head against the Brahma and Vishu on components.

I got another couple of 1m Cabledyne power cords to try on components. This was direct against the Vishnu's and Brahma.

On my Oppo I preferred the Cabledyne by a leap. On the Dussun amplifier the Brahma and Cabledyne were not that far away from each other, with quite a different tonality and sonic perspective. I still preferred the CableDyne and my system has never sounded better in regards to all the power cables I have been through. There is just more detail but less harshness and 'digitalness'. At $140 for 1m these are a steal.

In fairness to Nordost, the Vishnu and the Brahma were released in 2003 and have been superceded, so I am open to trying a Frey 2 AC cable and see how it goes.
