Sell King Cobra s and buy F I M Gold ?


After reading "all" past debates of which is best, I have accquired a FIM gold power cord through a mutual trade with a audiophile and found that FIM's gold power cable is a stunning upgrade and runs to the top of the heap in power cords. I thought the King Cobra was it.As a matter of fact, I own 5 of them.For what they once accomplished the FIM has surpassed my expectations.For those who agree (without the flames) speak up.should I sell the balance of my King Cobra's and purchase the FIM golds? Any help would be gladly appreciated.Thanks.

Hello Siddh,Lak,and Brulee
I have never tried Electraglide Fatboys or the BMI Whale Elite but have had the Synergistic Reference and JPS cables in my system.I might try the BMI Whale before I make my decision on selling the Powersnakes.The King Cobra is no step child.It does not sound dark compared to the FIM in my system.The FIM excels in a wider range of dynamics and a better resolution of inner detail in my system.I also agree with Brulee,compared to the FIM the King Cobra has some graininess.I guess to some people these differences are minor but for me once heard it becomes a revelation of what the FIM can do to help bring my system beyond being "just" hifi.Diminishing return on your money for power cords I say....NOT ! I believe some aftermarket power cords can enhance what a system can do and it ain't no voodoo.Thanks, for your response.
Hello
Thanks,guys/gals for all the interesting insights.Ejlif let me know when your friend compares the Acoustic Zens to the FIM power cords.Jcbtubes,I do plan to keep maybe two of the King Cobras to power my Soundlabs and change the other cords.The FIM cord is currently on my CD processor which is where it has had the greatest effect.Hey,The3dman,you are the first to mention Ensemble power cords.Do you sell those?Agreed the stiffness of the FIM golds can be the determining factor for some .They are extremely hard to work with and planning the position of your components is a must.For me,FIM has the all characteristics that I seek for my system.Thanks,to all that responded.
Okay Avnut
Since I begin this thread I "will" begin and it could be possible that you may not believe me but here goes;

Preamp: Audio Research SP-6a
Amp: Audio Research D-150
Processor:Audio Research Dac 3mkII
Transport:Audio Research CDT-1
Speakers :Soundlab Ultimate II's with torid option
Speaker cable:Magnan Signature
Interconnect: Magnan Signature
2 Richard Gray power companies

That's the gist of it and it's glorious.Serves me very well!
That's okay Gregm.I am guilty of the same thing myself sometimes.The FIM does currently reside on DAC3mkII.
Thanks
