Ching Cheng Power Cords

A’phile friend of mine brought over some of the inexpensive Ching Cheng pc’s tonight. We listened to them against a number of other pc’s --from Zen Wave, Black Cat, Synergistic, Cardas, Nordost and Audience. Interestingly...the Ching Chengs were basically junk in my system. Resolution dropped like a stone, frequency extension was non-existent, imaging diffuse, plus it was quite obvious that these inexpensive cables were no different than the stock ones supplied by all manufacturers’ to at least give you the ability to hook up power!
My friend left the Ching Chengs with me...to throw into the bin.
Even the entry level Cardas cables had it all over them..Moral of the story, at least in this case, is you get what you pay for.

@douglas_schroeder   LOL, that is very true. The Ching Chengs are being pushed by some self appointed audio guru on another forum, which is why I wanted to listen to them. The net result is what I posted above. BUT, if you wanted a power cord that was able to 'neutralize' your sound and make the system sound dead...then what the guru states would be correct! Personally, my friend and I couldn't wait to put them in the trash where they belong.

@keithr My friend bought from his zen master, before he saw the light, lol.
Sorry, but the only cable that is veiled, tone sucking and non resolving are the Ching Cheng’s, IMO. If you think the Zen Waves, Nordost and the Black Cat cables are colored, it just goes to show how we all listen/hear differently!

@mofimadness Sorry, no good! Those are NOT blessed by the all knowing, all seeing guru! ....;0)

@mechans You buy a Ching Cheng cable by contacting the zen master and asking him to sell you one of his “blessed” versions, lol.

Better question though is why would you want to buy one...and waste your money?
