King Cobra vs. FIM ?????


O.K. guys. Who is the king of the hill? Please lets hear from guys who've used both cords and briefly describe your setup so we have an idea of your sound. I want to step up my setup to the top dog. Thanks in advance, Mark

Jacks@aol.com: i have tried the fim cable, as well as the ic's and cords. BTW, this thread appears to be only about pc's. anyway, i agree that the fim is first-rate and outdoes a lot of stuff that's more expensive. soon as i have the $$, going to purchase a whole set. (i need to replace a 19 foot run of balanced ic. yikes!!) last night's post was intended to be sardonically humorous. sorry if you thought it serious. ya gotta admit, tho, that the "stardust" stuff is pretty ludicrous, even if it does work.
Marklivia- I, too, have lived with the KC and the FIM Gold powercords. Each is a great product. With that said, the FIM is the most "universal" in that it can (and should) be used throughout a system. The KC (v1 or v2) is best used on frontend equipment in my system with some other model on the amps. Given the price and performance, the FIM would be the preferred product IMHO. I still like the KCv1 (I was less impressed with the v2 even though it is more "neutral" than the v1), but the FIM would be the better way to go. Trust your own ears. Just my .02
For 825.00 buy the Audio Tekne.We auditioned to resale the line including the King Cobra using the Toltec electrostatic,650 lbs with 16 hz. bass,Halcro DM 58's ,DCS Elgar and Purcell ,Copulare lead filled stand system,Custom built pre at the 5 star level with top of the line NBS throughout.When inserting the Audio Tekne at each level we raised the bar higher.The power cord alone enhanced the sound field 15%.The entire sytem was completed musically only with the complete Audio Tekne system in place.Our other components consisted of the 15,000.00 Audio Tekne CD transformer,there 10,000.00 line treatment and the Audiomeca transport with it proprietary cd reading system.We also have a completely rewired 30 amp circuit AC system with dedicated grounds.Come visit us so you can tell yourself why this is genuinely the worlds finest cable and electronic manufacture.We also have there accessories and amps, pres ,and speakers on the way.Call 18007524018 for more info or visit Hififarm.com
why, all of a sudden, are we getting all these posts from retailers? i thought ads on threads were prohibited. is there an exception now for audiogon advertisers? if so, the policy stinks. If you agree join me in letting audiogon know wht you think.
Cornfef: It doesn't really bother me, but I can see how it would others. We all have different buttons. Perhaps everybody is still worked up after the Hifi show as to why there are more now. I am not familiar with HiFi Farm but read another post by Quest for Sound of whom I recently spoke with Steve from. He was a nice guy with good advice and his post did not bother me either, I rather enjoyed it. Though I would not want to see gobs of them at the site, which could easily happen.
