PowerSnake Owners Unite!


OK PowerSnake owners, I think it's high time that we combine our efforts to completely familiarize our fellow Audiogon members with the power cords that we love more than any other on the planet. I'm asking owners of the Sidewinder, Black Mamba, Cobra and King Cobra to tell everyone honestly what these cords have done to improve the sound of their system. Believe me, you haven't really heard what your components sound like until you've heard them through a PowerSnake.

I say they suck!...just kidding. I'll be trying some soon, but apparently they need like 100 billion years to break in, or so. (That's the excuse those they are trying them ahead of me are offering). And another question to all of you guys: Is the stuff that rattles around in them RADIOACTIVE? Nobody seems to know just what it is, but if it came from outer space, it might be anti-matter, you never know. Measure one with a geiger counter some time...or else sleep with one tied around your crotch, and see if it lowers your sperm count...
The Sidewinder has been in my system for a while. I'll let everyone know how it compares to others.
Brulee, who sells these FIM cords? Only Avalon dealers? I simply must try whatever the latest new cord thingie happens to be...Have you compared this $1200 model to the Synergisitc Reference Coupler on a power amplifier (either tube or ss), per chance??
Tom, thanks, and yes, you could play your drums, no prob. My brother has dabbled in that too. I think I'll try aaudio.com, and then if that doesn't work, the FIM site (I thought it might be the same a First Impression Music, but wasn't sure...I guess it is, but their site says zero about power cords or cabling).
David, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you (or at least get you one of those alcohol "lower GI's" that you are so fond of)...they're $1200 for the Gold, and around $600 or $700 for the Silver. The Gold one is the one everybody is talking about. Ok, any last requests???.............As for these cords, apparently you become one with God after you put them in your system, or so I gather.
