Well, I might as well pile on. I also use two BMI Whales on the digital stuff and since I ran out of money I use an Absolute PC on the SET amp. The Absolute replaced the $200 PC that I was using before and in comparison I do feel that the BMI PC's are worth the extra $400+. They both offer performance way beyond their price points.
Hi Ken: I use them on a Cal Icon MkII and a Bel Canto DAC. The PC's are very flexible and they twist, so lining up the IEC is a cinch. They require 4"-6" of room to make the bend behind a component. Setup was easy and they do not seem to be too heavy (the BC DAC only weighs 5 or 6 pounds). I will eventually suspend them with cotton ribbon, but have been using them "hanging on their own" for months now without a problem. I only needed 3' PC's but purchased 5' ones so that they will be long enough for any placement changes that may happen down the line. I learned this lesson with a pair of .5 meter IC's once (which soon became shorter than needed).
Ken: No, I never did try the EEL cords. My wife told me that "we ain't havin no EEl's in the house honey", and that was the end of the EEL's. Whales have a higher WAF, I think, and I would recommend that BMI's next triumph be called The Dolphin, so that more of us will have a chance of getting them into our systems. If my wife were into piercing, Goth and tattoos, then it may have gone the other way. I am also curious though as to how the two would combine synergy wise in a system as the combo would be much easier on the budget. ASA: I have only used the 5' version.
