I just received the 1.5m AC-9, purchased from AA, arrived very quickly and came in it's own box. It was heavy, over 3lbs! And this thing is huge, even a porn star would agree. It makes my Hovland AC cord pale in size.
I felt I needed a heavy gauge power cord as my integrated is rated 250w @8ohm and 400w@4ohm. I had a Mac 3' HC Sound Pipe that sounded thin and closed in, the heavy gauge stock cord sounds much better.
Very inexpensive for size and quality (ac-9). It looks well made and comes with a braided blue cover and it's own proprietary plugs which in itself are huge, bigger than the typical high end audio ac hospital plugs.
Unfortunately it's too big for my set-up, you will need a minimum of 7" of clearance from the rear of unit to the back wall in order to make room for it to bend. I will have to say that it's pretty flexible for the size/diameter but still will not fit in tight or medium spots.
I have it connected to my plasma so when it's broken in and have some time, I'll pull the MF A5.5 integrated out of it's spot and do an A/B test with it's current cord.
I may go ahead and order a AC-14 to see if it will fit and compare the three cords.
I wished it would fit. I will say that if your thinking about getting one, make sure you order the shortest length as the extra unused length can be hard to manage and takes up lots of space but keep in mind accounting length for large radius bends compared to a thinner stock cord.
