BMI Whale Elite - Construction?


Hello all! I just had a quick question. I've heard great things about BMI cables - especially the Whale Elite. While I've read the postings from BMI regarding the cord, and it looks incredible, I was wondering if anyone has any details on the construction of the cable. I'm not really looking for trade secrets, but I'm curious about what I'm buying.

Thanks!

Dmrothfu: Give Brian @ BMI a call or an email. He is a nice guy and a pleasure to talk to. The only thing that I can make out on my units are that the male plugs are Leviton NEMA 5-15's (the female plugs are covered with shrink wrap and are not branded with anything that I recognize on the exposed ends).
Yes, they make solid contact and are easy to manipulate, considering their size (they twist so that aligning the plugs is a simple task).
Asa: I used the Whale on my Audion Silver Night 300B (when the DAC was away for upgrades) though it was not a very good test as this particular amp is fairly cavalier about which cord powers it. The Whale however is one of only two PC's that I have tried that made a noticeable difference on this amp (though less pronounced than on the other gear). The difference was tighter bass and increased dynamics. I believe that Lak at this site may be using the Whale on his 2A3 amp, but am not certain. The other PC (that made a difference) was a new silver PC from Vantage audio, which I will be giving a thorough audition later next month (I just tried it for a few days before).
