Power cord VH Audio Flavor 4 vs Nordost Brahma

That's pretty darn funny MacDaddy!

Much appreciated MDT :) Hope all is well with you my friend.

Dlcockrum and Elizabeth, out of respect for your opinions on other power cords strings, I am going to abstain from answering this. But I want you to know how hard this is for me.

I have zero experience with Nordost, but have had the VH 4 for years. And have found it to be an excellent budget cord for amps. Value wise, certainly beyond the $150 that they go for used. Clean, free flow power is how I would describe it.

For the past year or so, I have used it with a nice Rawson DIY Aleph J for what seems to be a perfect match. Recently i also used it with the LFD integrated, which was OK, but the LFD sounded better with an AZ Tsunami II.

Strange though, I recall when I 1st got it,..it was unrully or untamed for the 1st 100 hours or so,...sounding quite different from day to day for those 1st few weeks. But it did settle in & usually finds a place in my system, usually with a secondary amp. I highly recommend it for the Aleph 3.

I wouldn't recommend it with a good or resolving CDP, although I have never used it for that purpose; for that I would look for something more refined.
