Top manufacturers!

Yeah, us Americans...the very idea! Where do we get off thinking we could design fine power amplifiers? How dare we! We should just give up, we're even making the Swiss feel sorry for us...and goodness knows they take a stand on things, when the going gets tuff...we could learn much from them.

As an avid audiophile the last 30 years. I just recently had a great experience dealing with a small start up company that manufactures hi-end power cords. The name of the company is BMI Virtue Power Cords. The Eel reference custom is very impressive in both construction and sound. Out performing my +$1200 power cords. Also, the service is excellent with Brian being the one man operation, he listens and gives you all the attention you need. He was very helpful and I will continue to do business with him and recommend BMI highly if on the market for best power cords. So BMI Virtue Power Cords gets my vote for a being a top manufacturer.

Lamm just listen forget the advertisements

Let me recall one that (figuratively) brings tears to one's eyes: Apogee Acoustics (the speaker maker)
