Let me tell a story 'bout a man named dave
owned so many power cords, barely kept his family fed
then one day he was tryin out some brand new cords again
when out from his sytem came a bubblin pool
of sound that is
extended bass
pure highs
dynamic
The Transparent MM reference!!
When you get done playing the field and desire a power cord that will give you a paradigm shift in what you thought was possible ...borrow a couple from the cable company
If you deeply appreciate music, you must demo them!
You just may find it impossible not to own them. |
Ah yes, I remember trying out power cords.....someday you will try or experience the Transparent MM and your soul will be moved:) |
Yes, an ARC HD220, ARC Ref3 and an ARC VT100. I also used the previous XL version on Levinson reference gear with great results albeit a little less clear. The new cord has great clarity along with the Transparent wide dynamic range and tremendous frequency extension. Most startling is it's way with instrumental tone or timbre...absolutely lifelike at any volume level!! |
FYI, I thought my system was slightly rolled off with my Transparent PC's but after using Mapleshade Heavyhats and heavyfeat along with my MIT Z 3 HG power conditioner...well, hello definition!! |
Look, let's get serious now. First off, your equipment will say alot about what kind of cord/results you can expect to achieve. Putting Mapleshade brass footers and weights on my equipment was a revelation and should be done before you try any more cords. Also, using a product like the MIT Z stabilizer III HG will allow you to make a better judgement on where your system is now and where it needs to progress toward. Cords alone make no sound! |
Momental capasity? Maybe instantaneous current capacity is what you are referencing. Heavy gauge wire is superior indeed with proper design and shielding plus I believe in a well designed network ala Transparent or MIT! |
No, not a dealer, but I have spent a fortune over the years trying "The next best thing!", over and over again. My love of music compels me to try and urge anyone not satisfied with their cabling or system sound to at least demo some of the Transparent or MIT products....they allow the music to come alive! This of course is based on the assumption that music is an integral part of your soul, and not just a passing diversion. |
Funny, I just read your "foaming at the mouth", or was it drooling, over the DCCA Master PC....it appears we all have our favorites and our biases. MIT rules..Hee Hee Hee:) |
Well said Tvad. A most vivid reminder of that for me is my brothers old sansui 8/Bozak 313 combo which sounded fantastic in his basement with average wires and PC's. The room and the synergy can make up for all the expensive add ons money can buy!! |
Jmcgrogan2, maybe your web senses are a little dull, but I was having some fun while reminding everyone of the obvious likes and dislikes we all have and are inevitably slaves to. For God's sake man, you had a color picture of the DCCA cable! I'm not a pimp, but I am passionate about what I have found to be the best of class in audio...of that, I stand convicted. |
I believe I have tried them all...and with alot of different gear, but there may be a mismatch out there somewhere:) |
Jmcgrogan2, are you a stalker or a spook? I was attempting to be humble and express my biases, however I have owned many power cords from Purist, Synergistic, Shunyata, PS audio, HarmTech, Transparent, MIT, Cardas, Kimber, Wegrzyn, and some other giant killer cable companies who's names escape me. My experiences bring me to the conclusion that certain products outperform many of the brands offered in a market wrought with mediocrity. Self deprication and candidness should not be misconstrued as a reversal of conviction. |
