If $700 is your number buy the Black Mamba; but try it on your transport or cd player as well as your amp. YOu might be surprised where it sounds best. The improvement will be dramatic. Of all the changes I've ever made to my systems, wattagate outlets and Shunyata cords are far and away the most dramatic. $ for $ the best thing you can do for your system Luxor Groups line of Top Gun cords are also excellent.

Power Cords
I am looking for a new power cord (two meters long is sufficient). I would use it on a Adcom GFP-750 now and possibly move it to a Classe CA-201 amp later on if I get a second cord. I have heard a lot about the MIT Z Cord 2, some of the Synergistic research cords and all of the Powersnakes. I would definately buy used and am willing to spend up to $700 (though I wouldn't mind getting something less expensive). Thanks for your thoughts!
