Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords

I am not bashing persons. The Voodoo cable community is a cult. Period. Its priests' main purpose in life is to make money creating an aura of 'magic'. As Deano said, audio is about creating the illusion of music in one's living quarters. The Voodoo has kept consumers from getting great products at reasonable prices. This is what I mean when I say that Bill has kicked the anthill. Once again, the free market economy has won and benefited the consumer...

I'm going to take my Monster HTS2000 out of the system and run these straight into the outlet as the salesman recommended. I can't wait to see how it sounds. I hope for a big improvement. I'm using an Audio Refinement Complete amp and Magnepan MMG speakers.

Hi Pete: I ordered two of them to upgrade the power cords "on" my Monster HTS2000's and a spare to play around with. I am looking into retrofitting male IEC plugs to the Monsters and will upgrade one to start so that I can do an A/B. I can't handle the sound with my power situation without the Monsters in the system during the day/evening (even playing "I Love LA" doesn't make a dammed bit of difference:-) and require the surge protection as well. You are always a little speedier than I am and I will look forward to your post. I also have a pair of BMI Whales cooking in right now that will be used on the player and DAC, so will be able to give an opinion (one anyway) on how these stack up.

After spending too much time researching power cords. I ordered the Absolute Cord figuring $40 wasted wouldn't be too bad. The cord came in 2 days! Hospital grade end looks fine, IEC end kind of cheap. Cord says made in China, well I'm Chinese what can I say....The sound is improved by about 5-10%. I used it on an Audio Analogue Puccini Integrated. $900 bought used for $400. No way am I going to spend $200 on any power cord. Improved drive, more open high end, more detail on female vocals, a bit more midbass impact. I appreciate all the meaningful responses. Bottom line, it will improve a decent system, but no way will 'transform' your system. I have Sonus Faber Speakers. Rotel HDCD CDP.

Gjeong: If your Rotel has an IEC outlet, give the cord a try on it instead of the amp. I get a lot more duck for the buck on my front end components and less impact on the amps in regard to power cords.
