Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords


Is it just me or has anyone else ever felt amazed after hearing a low-priced power cord breathe new life into their formerly congested sounding over-priced cosmetically corded system? WAIT!! I know the answer because the question has been asked before......but probably not about the Absolute
Power Cord. I wondered if anyone else has tried this particular cord and what their impressions were. Thanks

Interesting sales procedure boys. Always a bit odd when Krjr, Dino and Yourmama have one thread each, and this is that one. Chris you've been around what's your story?

WARNING< WARNING< WARNING< WARNING<<<< This is not a test...... Your audio site has been occupied by allians, please leave this thread now!!!!!!!!!!!

I advise all who are concrened to write Audiogon, let them sort it out.
Snooker14, I think a new product is great, and the idea of a hospital grade cord has great potential. My personal problem is rather than putting them up for sale and get legitimate feedback like most sellers here, they concocted some scheme of one guy talking to himself under three names. This not what this site should be about. Put them up for sale Krjr, Dino and Yourmama and lets see how your feedback from trusted members goes. Just don't try this crap here, it's just plane underhanded and tough for me to trust buying from this guy. J.D.
Your right Chris, and you did the back-up to help show that I was again jumping to conclusions. I again based it of of my inadiquate research seeing that all three are first time posters. Sorry Krjr if this was the case.
Skullduggery, I love that!
I did see yours Bluenose. In that I've read and enjoyed your imput in the past it was taken as a happy costumer and with yours and Krjr having real experiences it helps me to get past the damage the two others did to themselves. Thanks for sticking up for your beliefs guys, KEEP POSTING!
As stated above, at the price it could be worth a shot, even though I'm finally happy with the cords I've got. J.D.
Thanks for the great updates Wellfed.

Now how would you feel if I told you you could have gotten this same cord for less than $3.00. SORRY

That's right, it is avalible through a number of OEM electronics companies. If you simply type in "power cord" on your internet browser, netscape, internet explorer, yahoo, what ever you will be presented with a number of HOSPITAL GRADE POWER CORDS. They are supplied by a host of countries and come in a multitude of configurations, including the one for sale in this post.

The quanity cost is $2.50-$3.00. That's pushing a 1500% mark-up. O.K., maybe your fine with that type of sales game.

IF YOUR INTERESTED IN HOSPITAL POWER CORDS, BUY THEM OFF THE NET FOR THE REAL COST $3.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Psychicanimal you should be happy to know they sell outlets, plugs, and even extension cords.

Please don't get ripped off! J.D.
No question Megasam, my comment is not concerning if they do something. I'm just pointing out for $39 I could try 13 cords. Has anyone tried them? Have you tried the other hospital grade cords? How about the 10ga green dot Hospital cord with soldered connections for $4.00?
I had an Audiogon member write me today asking for help on this whole topic and I would like to share my responce to him for others benifit:

Hi xxxxx
I wish I could give you the "right" answer, but I don't know it. I'm a audio nut for thirty plus years, and have tried to keep my head about the latest new products. As you know, there are $1000 systems, $3000, $9000, $25,000-40,000 and +$100,000 systems. Those are levels I've found through my experience that make sizable improvements over the last. With-in each level there are some produces that are true bargains, and some that are names with big prices. Too bad for us audio lovers, there is not an audio cop who can give us the "right answer". We must make our own mistakes after reading reviews, listening in audio showrooms that are completely different from our homes, and listening to other audio lovers on sites like AudiogoN and Audio Asylum.
I'm clearly not the most informed or the best neutral resource on AudiogoN, my opinions get me in trouble often, but they are never unfounded. If you read my post "winter lessons" you will see I've bought my share of snake oil, and some products that have helped my system. Every system is different, every one of us have different taste and experiences. My answers are right for me, but might not be for you. Having said that, I believe power cords are a very volatile area for audio, and there are a lot of over priced products, maybe safe to say 90% are over priced. I own two of the most ridiculously price ones made, and no I'm not proud of that fact, they just happen to be the best I've heard of the fifteen or twenty I've tried. I can tell you that every cord I've tried did something, and it takes a while for me to know if that something was good or not.
As for the Absolutely Amazing power cord, I have no experience with it. I also have no experience with the Stealth you asked about. I've heard quite a bit regarding the Stealth and can only say from that input I've never bought one. This new cord, "The Absolutely Amazing Power Cord" is a product I believe to be the exact same cord available on the Internet through hospital supply houses. There are actually some that are even better built with thicker wire and better plugs that are available from the same places. If people want to try Hospital grade power cords for audio, great! I hope some true values come from it. My problem with this product is two fold, first the sales pitch used on our forums to fabricate interest by creating a number of posting members who never existed until this thread. Now Jadestick appears, gees that was original, to combat my warnings. The second problem I have is that these cords cost $2.50- $3.00! I am disgusted by the approach of creating excitement, hyping a product to sound like a bargain while the guy inflates the price to $39.95, now $49.95. That is a 2000% mark-up. Now I realize there are $500 cords made with $10 parts, but they are hand made and researched with audio being the only user. I would rather pay a guy $50.00 - $100 for an honest hour producing something than $46.95 for being underhanded in his approach.
I again encourage people to try the hospital grade cords, try $50 worth of $3 cords and let us know how they work. But if you chose to start a 2000% profit business from them then you will have to explain your self.
So in closing of this very opinionated reply, I can not recommend one cord or the other from the ones your looking at. I do think however that exploring some $3.00 cords may produce some good results. I also know for me that my equipment has never sounded better than it does right now, and that it took a long time to get to this point after trying a number of brands. The cords I use range from $400 to $3000 retail. Each cord has a piece of equipment it match up well with, and that was the determining factor. If my equipment sounded as good using the stock cords that were free with the equipment or the $100 cords I once had, or using all $400 cords, then those would have been my choices. Again please review my post for some specific results from my personal experiments, and good luck. I'm happy you found this great hobby, and hope I haven't completely confused you. J.D.
Dkarmeli, I have no experience with GTT audio, and unless you see my add for a Electr-glide Fatboy as competion I have no intrest in there bussiness. I'm an Audio lover, and I don't like games!
Thanks Dekay for keeping your wits about you, I have no doubt these cords make a difference. I will back off now that they have "disclosed" a story. Given the length of time it has taken to disclose the final version and add the mysterious green dot that has disappeared, I think people can made an informed decision.
Thank you GTT for telling the real story, you could have saved me a lot of time and maybe you some bussiness by telling it straight up front.
Dkarmeli you are correct that my approach was maybe too much. In that after the first 60 or so posts had done nothing to get the facts out, I think I was successful in achieving my goal. Finally we have fact on what the product is. The claims from the dealer have gone from besting $2000 power cords to a rather humble "we can not guarantee this will improve..." I feel no need to apologize for getting a dealer to speak honestly about his product and what it is. I would hope this dealer is capable of seeing my motives and recognize that not once have I said that his product is a farce or that it doesn't work. I have however help to identify the nature of the produce, and allow people to judge for themselves. Thank you for you concern for me and must close by saying that Kevint, you would have received a polite inquiry had the product been represented honestly in the first place. Again I have no apology to make for that either. J.D.
P.S. With this post I politely sign off of this thread.
