I have to agree with Fhydrant about the Edge power cord. I won one of them on Audiogon's auction, and was skeptic at first. But for $82, I wanted to experiment against my $800, Magnan Signature power cord on my amp, and using a $600, ElectraGide Electra power cord on my preamp. I first stuck the Edge power cord in where Electra was (preamp), and my jaw dropped!! Right away I heard an increase of resolution, and detail. I couldn't believe my ears on how much tighter the the mid-bass was. This Edge is not fancy but it did a great job with replacing a $600 power cord. The next test is putting the Edge in where the Magnan Signature power cord was, and by the way, the Magnan Signature is my favorite power cord, even against the $3000 NBS Statement power cord. I used the Edge with my Levinson amp, and bingo. The results were the same, more resolution and detail. The Magnan has more bass extension, and is more colored. But eith the trade off of more detail and resolution, I was blown away with this so called Edge, that comes without any packaging. Kind of a no frills but wonderful power cord. So to fellow audiophiles out there, if on the market for a great little power cord without the color and additives. Buy one of these Edge power cords. In fact I'm going to bid on a package of 4 Edge power cords because I'm selling all my other power cords and buying some more records and taking a vacation with all the money left over, for better results. Just to let you know, BMI is the company and he does not sell direct only exclusively through the Audiogon auction. To sum it up the Edge is an awesome value when upgrading your power cords!!!!!
