FIM owners, please stand up ?

Nex- Adsal is correct about the stiffness, but I wouldn't say "too" stiff. It takes some effort, but the sonic performance is truly outstanding. If you are fanatical about your system, then you should hear the FIM GOLD cables. Like me, you may find that they are worth every bit of effort. Good luck.

Virt- The FIM Gold are hardly the most expensive power cords out there, but certainly comparable to them in performance. They possess amazing transparency with outstanding dynamics. They also have the least tonal colorations of any cord/cable that I've had in my system. Of course, within the context of a system, other cords may offer a preferred effect, though rarely without a negative somewhere. However, I keep coming back to the FIM for their lack of "effect" upon the music. They simply get me closer to the illusion of live music. Just my .02. Good luck.
