Just thought I'd chime in, though it's late in the post...Just got one of Ben's Peak Gold power cords in the mail the other day. Jammed it into my Jolida 100a CDP. WHAP. The difference was instantaneous. I was genuinely stricken. The breadth and glow of the music was astounding from the first notes, and only got better. My wife (who loves music, digs the gear, and who is now seriously impatient with anything to do with cabling) walked silently into the room, a cloudy look on her face, planted herself in front of the speakers, listened to the rest of Mark Sandman's tune, and at the finish, simply said, "Wow." I have what I thought a terrific--if affordable--rig, but this thing really brought it together, and brought it upwards. (Insert effusive audiophile buzzwords here.) Gold is a conductor that is supposed to rank down there with aluminum; then what in the hell is this? I'm with Energizer: I want another one. Until then, I'll have to be satisfied with the set of Ben's interconnects I just ordered...
