I am looking for very flexible power cables that sound good too.
I have some tight spots and I have been using PS Audio cable to great affect from a sound standpoint but it's just too damn inflexible. I need something that can take a 90 turn in a small radius without a problem.
The Omega Mikros are NOT multistrand. They are ribbons. Certainly cheap cables are all multistrand, but I am not certain all multistrands sound poor. I have not heard any good ones, however.
Rmzidann, You just totally ignore the fact that "foil technology" does exist. From Allen Wright's "Super cable" cook book, the foil technogy is his believe as the ultimate cable design. Both Omega Mikro and MappleShade use similar method to manufacture their cable. As mentioned, they're the most flexible but "fragile".
ANY power Cord that's flexible is very very likely to be made of multistranded wire which is a poor choice for any audio application due to increased EMI in a multistranded wire. The best designs are those that use solid core wires but that means they are going to be less flexible. However, they sound far better than ANY multistranded cable! So if you are looking for how a cable "feels" then try the flexible , multistranded (ultimately much cheaper wire), designs. But if good sound is what you are looking after then consider solid- corte wire cables
My Blue Circle BC62 power cord is very flexible. Quite a contrast from my other Virtual Dynamics cords. The Acoustic Zen Tsunami was somewhere in between, probably closer to the Blue Circle in ease of use.
