Power cords at ridiculous prices?
I saw this thread I have a high fidelity helix cord so that makes me a nut! 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
@lohanimal I think you make a great observation. It is a business and sometimes creating innovation costs money. It takes time and a lot of trial and error. Differently materials in different ways. I recently tried to replace a cable with somethin... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I do. Music is not the same without it. I remember telling Rick how much I liked it and he would kind of say yeah, yeah, yeah. I would say for real. I have never heard something this good. I went up loom by loom and realized that it could get bett... 
Resonessence Mirrus vs Sony HAPZ-1ES
I have a high fidelity ultimate helix power cord on the resonessence mirus dac and it is amazing. The sound is sublime.

The ultimate reference helix on my dac has just taken things to a whole other level.  I tried to put a cheaper lesser power cable on it and it's not even the same piece of equipment.  I see why I have become such a fan of this product because it j...

Spent the last couple of days burning in the power conditioner more. It sounds best when fed by a high fidelity power cable. That might be expensive for some audiophiles. I understood that so I also compared it to the furman and the tributaries po...

High fidelity mp6 power conditioner is breaking in and I'm happy that I got it.  The high fidelity stuff usually brings clarity and quiet black backgrounds. This power conditioner does the same thing. I was using a furman and this hands down is be...

It's a process. I think you have to be patient. I also think you are the judge of what your system needs.  Find something that's good.  Find a match and live with it.  I think those who have more income are able to try the higher priced stuff.  I'...

Im letting it burn in.  It was brand new. I can tell you already that compared to the furman that I had it's better so far. The backgrounds are quieter and also it helped in the area of transparency. I'm listening since to the album "Hands" by Dav...

I just picked it up today.  I will be putting it in my system tomorrow. It actually heavier than it looks. It's a pretty nice chunky piece of equipment.  It actually has some good sturdy feet on it as well. I was looking to replace my furman power...

I have too used the essence of music treatment. It works extremely well. I just ordered the new power conditioner that High Fidelity just released. I'm hoping to get it by Thursday or Friday and get it in my system. It's 999.00 so I'm looking forw... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Spending crazy money on cables is not the answer.  There has to be balance. Better equipment has to usually be fed better cables. I went up the chain in high fidelity and they do get better going up the chain.  There no way I would spend more on c...

why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
So many components, combinations and cables. Find what works, what you like and enjoy it. Best advice is that if you can't stop listening that's a great sign. If your component or cable gets you there then great. It's funny how we value the opinio...

@jazzonthehudson I agree, your ears have to be the judge and I have actually heard or have owned the cables I speak of for extended sessions.  I can't speak on those I have not. I just know that I have came a long way from the Audioquest diamondba...
