which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....?

If you have around 500 to spend,then go for the whale.I've tried other big buck PC's and the BMI whale is the most neutral of them all....Check out the feedback or better yet,order one direct.You'll be glad you did.........

Well, I might as well pile on. I also use two BMI Whales on the digital stuff and since I ran out of money I use an Absolute PC on the SET amp. The Absolute replaced the $200 PC that I was using before and in comparison I do feel that the BMI PC's are worth the extra $400+. They both offer performance way beyond their price points.

I'm auditioning a BMI Eel Reference custom at the moment on my Rel sub and it's outstanding. A great value for the money, and I can only imagine what the Whale must be like. Deeper, tighter , beautifully open and involving,this Eel is an exceptional performer.Can't compare it to the super pricey stuff (out of my league right now) but I've tried a lot other in the $200-$400 range and this is my 1st choice for sure.Can't wait to get one on my transport. Good luck.

Dekay,

Are you using the BMI Whale PC with an EMC-1 CDP? I just bought one and am looking for a PC to go with it. I'm concerned though that the Whale might be a bit too heavy & stiff for my application.

Is the Whale flexible enough to make a right angle turn from the back of the CDP without putting undue pressure on it? It's sitting on a shelf 4 feet off the ground.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi Ken: I use them on a Cal Icon MkII and a Bel Canto DAC. The PC's are very flexible and they twist, so lining up the IEC is a cinch. They require 4"-6" of room to make the bend behind a component. Setup was easy and they do not seem to be too heavy (the BC DAC only weighs 5 or 6 pounds). I will eventually suspend them with cotton ribbon, but have been using them "hanging on their own" for months now without a problem. I only needed 3' PC's but purchased 5' ones so that they will be long enough for any placement changes that may happen down the line. I learned this lesson with a pair of .5 meter IC's once (which soon became shorter than needed).
