Omega Mikro powercord users help:


Hello,
About a month ago I purchased an Omega Mikro pc and for those who own this, know that you get two and keep the one that works in your system. Well, it's been a month now and I can't tell which one sounds better. I notice on the red cord the sound is fuller, and the blue it's a little more focused.
On some day I'm sure it's the blue, on others it's the red. I'm currently using it on the BAT vk-d5 cdp or Bat vk-5i preamp. Anyone with pointers on what to look for exactly would be much appreciated.
THanks,
mhu

Sometimes it will be the case in a given system that there is no clear cut better choice between the red and the blue. Don't try to listen for a difference that may not be there. If there were a meaningful difference for your system, it would be clearly audible. If you think the blue is consistently a little more focused, that might be the better choice. An improved focus and clarity of the sound is typically the type of difference one would expect to hear.
The Silent Source power cables certainly are a reasonable alternative, as Tok2000 suggests. You don't give up too much by comparison to the Omega Mikros. My amplifiers require 4 power cords, so Silent Source was the route I took there as a cost saving alternative. But my source equipment, turntable and preamp, both have Omega Mikro cables because they do indeed sound better. As suggested, you must be prepared to treat the OM's with greater care.
