Gmkowal- The engineer part of me would agree with your position. However, having compared power cords on equipment with massively filtered and overbuilt power supplies, has not proven this to be true. I still get quite dramatic sonic improvements with the "great" power cords. Briweve- I think the level of your equipment warrants a higher quality power cord to easily hear the difference over your existing Shunyata's. The Black Mamba is fine, but not really in a class above what you have. The discontinued Shunyata Cobra would be the entry into the next level. However, I'd suggest a Shunyata King Cobra (especially v1) or even better, FIM Gold, to take you into the highest performance level. Then let your ears be the judge. Just my .02. Goodluck.
Shed some light on this please
I have 2 systems, A B&K REF20 and AV2500(5 channel 60w) for my home theater system. And in the other room I have Pass Aleph P Pre-amp, Aleph 2 amps, and an EMC-1 CD player. I bought I Black Mamba Power Cord the other day and put it on my B&K amp and it made a nice and noticeable difference. But When I put it anywhere on my Pass 2 channel system it made no difference over the SideWinder or the Mamba Cords I have already on there. Could someone please try to sort this out. Is the High End Single Ended Pass and Electrocomponent CD player less effected by differences in Power Cords? I won't think so. But I had 3 other people with me, we could beleive it. Thanks Regards, Brian
