Power cords at ridiculous prices?


Seems to me there's no shortage of "black magic" out there, people spending $1000 on power cords? If the equipment you own is well designed with hefty power supplies and adequate capacitive filtering on-board, the grunge from the AC lines will be dealt with. I'm not discounting upgrading stock cords with something of a little better quality, but it seems to me spending the equivalent of a mortgage payment, on a piece of wire, makes us audiophiles the subject of ridicule by any reasonable person. Okay, I'll stand back now and take my lumps....

An MIT Magnum AC2 or Oracle AC2 power cord provides the equivalent of not only a great cord, but parallel filter line conditioning/power factor correction and high current delivery!  I have heard an Oracle AC2 make a $2000 integrated sound like high end separates...maybe better!
The Ansuz DTC power cord is the most amazing power I ever heard. Pretty expensive (@20k for a 2 M retail) but it will bring your system to a new level. Everything sounds more natural with a wider and deeper sound stage.
Nearly every cable manufacturer has a multi thousand dollar flagship power cord these days. 
Well of course they do. You can't legally counterfeit money but you can make a power cord for 500.00 and charge 10,000. If I had the knowledge about how to make a great power cord I would start a company tomorrow. The profit margin on these products are beyond Insane. If I ever was going to buy and expensive power cord I would buy them from a well known company that has distribution. At least that way you could resell them down the road and get some of you're Investment back. If you buy a cord from one of these obscure companies there may not be a secondary market to resell them.
