Omega Mikro powercord users help:


Hello,
About a month ago I purchased an Omega Mikro pc and for those who own this, know that you get two and keep the one that works in your system. Well, it's been a month now and I can't tell which one sounds better. I notice on the red cord the sound is fuller, and the blue it's a little more focused.
On some day I'm sure it's the blue, on others it's the red. I'm currently using it on the BAT vk-d5 cdp or Bat vk-5i preamp. Anyone with pointers on what to look for exactly would be much appreciated.
THanks,
mhu

Well in my case, with an OM plugged into my cdp, the difference was obvious. The red was definitely superior. On my preamp the difference was not as great, but still audible. Again the red won the day. I agree with Rushton that if the blue focuses better, that's probably what you should go with. Take your time and relax about it and your choice will probably become clearer to you.
Personally, I think too much is made of the hassle OM cables produce. Yes, they do indeed require extra care in dressing and maintaining, but once in place, all you need do is listen. My system is wired with OM Ebony ICs and Planar 4 LCX speaker cables. I also have three OM active powercords in use. What I'm struck by most is their magnificent sound, not their fragility. Of course if you're someone constantly doodling with your system, or are naturally clumsy or careless, OM may not be the best choice.
