Don't get ripped off? If GTT wanted to "get rich quick" by designing high end power cords then selling them for $40, they'd have to be the stupidest con-artists in the world. How much can you make selling PCs at $40 each? If he charged $300, or better yet, $3000, he'd be way ahead of this PC game.
Have you tried this cord yourself? I have. In my system it sounded very good out of the box, and even better after 100+ hours of burn-in. Smooth, relaxed, quiet. Better than my (also high value) Whale Elite at $450? Not to me, but several steps in the same (musical) direction from stock cords, or even $100-200 cords I've heard.
Will it work the same for you? I don't know. If I wanted a power cord that emphasized speed, detail, etc. I'd probably look elsewhere. But warmth, smoothness, tonal integrity? Yes, this cord is very nice.
It's great that there are those out there who truly want to spend many hundreds, or thousands for a high end power cord. That brings the issue of proper audio power cords to the public, and pushes the envelope of attainable performance. Without those consumers looking for the ultimate and willing to pay for it, a product like the Absolute PC would not exist. For me, I'd rather spend less and still reap the rewards. JT
