I've extensively used their powercord from the PowerDrive to the Clairvoyant.

As you proceed up the line, there is a consistent improvement on the previous model. The Sorcerer is very good, being 6ga copper with silver coating. The sound is very direct, dynamic and punchy. It allows the equipment to breath.

The first place to start with the powercords is from the wall to the conditioner. That forms the foundation for the entire system.

If you haven't heard your system completely wired with AudioMagic cables, you should try it. There is a synergy which adds up to more than the sum of its parts. Even with the entry pure silver Excalibur range, these sound excellent and represent extremely good value.

Dealer disclosure.
Recounting a recent incident:

I loaned a XXX a some interconnects/speaker cables to a potential customer. The system comprised an Ayre CX7, Blue Circle BC3 pre, Sanders power, and a Harbeth SHL5. Initially I thought that putting in the XXX should open up the soundstage and bring the music into better focus. When I heard it, the dynamics did appear to be restricted. This customer was using some exotic python thick powercords. So we switched those to AM powercords - Sorcerer, Illusion and PowerDrive on the amp. Immediately the music began to flow much better, coming from outside the Harbeths (which I had always thought exhibited a boxy coloration). The transformation was amazing.

So consider this when you try to change one component in your system: what you are hearing is the combination of the sum of everything there, not just the last piece that you changed. It is possible that this last piece just shows a shortcoming somewhere else - yes YMMV.
