Gentlemen. I saw the ad for absolute power cords and sent Bill Parish at GTT.gttgroup.com and e-mail last Monday,April 05/2001. I was curious and Bill immediatedly replied explaining he has found them neutral enought to use on lamm and burmester gear...Remember, everything is synergy. I'm not looking for the best, I'm looking for the parts that make the whole complete. The only separate power cord in my system is on the simaudio 4070SE which John Poulin, the designer, says should be run directly into the wall..So, I figured, at $39US, it would be a small gamble. I ordered it and received it on Friday...Caanada customs, you know....I played some cassandra wilson and then put on the absolute and from the the first notes of the first song realized I had never heard the amp just disappear like this before...actually the power cord fitted in with the acoustic zen cables perfectly. Now I know a lot of people will be upset that a cable only costs 39US and can do this...All I say is to each his own....if it works and makes you happy, go fo it....I must say Bill Parish is a fine chap to talk to and deal with....everytime you find a good dealer, like Jody, at brooklyn audio, here in Nova Scotia, it helps make audio fun. And this should be fun and enjoyable....after all, it is the music, not the equipment....but the cords are good. How good? I have no way of finding out[nor at this time do I care]. I'm just enjoying the music....anyone need some snow? I can send it fedex.....Bluenose
