      Good diagram you linked. Quartz crystals is also found in some top end model from Audioquest and other competing brands also.

      And that's Sahara cable. The White Night Power 5m has better spec, and the distributor model I bought has 20 layers of tree fiber and 3D silver shielding, plus the black crystals. This distributor was intended to compete with the standard model WHite Night Power but it turned out much better than expected. It is about equal to Ice King, which is another $50k cable.

      This is fun. Kinda needed it after the last few days.

      And I don't know if the OP is joking or not, but I actually don't care how he spends his money. It's his money.

      I bought the Venom 3 just to get me going since I haven't received the package. I actually prefer the stock cable for some songs.

      He sent out the replacement for me today. It's the lesser, shorter White Night Power 2m cables. He will send one at a time via priority shipping. He is currently building the 2nd one and it takes time.

      Hopefully I will receive this soon.

      If it is anything like the "Sahara" cable posted, you might consider, solid core wire and mechanical connections (Furutechs) do not go well together.
      I would at least do a continuity test before plugging that cable into anything.

      I was already spending the $30k from my offer previously!:evil:

      Guess I'll call the escort service back and cancel!

      He was implying that these near field speakers are sufficient to hear the benefits of sound from power cable upgrade. Power cords are the biggest upgrade path in the audio system. They also replace your pre-amp / DAC.

      Plus they work better than Rogaine. Okay. The troll question is answered. LOL. :smile:

      The replacement cable #1 (White Night Power 2m) is coming. THis is supposed to be pretty fast shipping. Not sure if it's gonna here by Friday. I am guessing sometime next week.

      Once I receive it I will initiate the photoshoot.

      Maybe a video too, but I prefer to wait till I receive both cables. Each cable will be connected directly from wall outlet to the Focal speaker.

      I think the sender insured it. I'm pretty sure he did. We don't know if the package is lost yet as it is being investigated. He says it will take a while to get response back from the International Inquiry Center.

      I can vouch for Pepster's power cables, he made me a slightly better deal than 30k but now I owe him my first born child. Totally worth it

      I heard Tony B. had to buy Pepster a Bass Boat for his last pair of interconnects.
      Im going to fly pep out here to CA. so he can make my cables out of hemp fiber,but its gotta be done legal that's why we have to do them in Ca. or Co. Its the next big thing!

      I recall reading somewhere in the past about this $50K power cord and how it got lost in shipment from Sweden. Complete BS. Might as well ban the Cheesehead now.

      We don't know if it's lost yet. Like I said it's being investigated by the International Inquiry Center. They said they will get back to him within a month.

      Since I can't afford to wait this long, and not knowing if the package is lost or what, Patrick shipped out the replacement last Monday. It's your loss if you don't believe me...

      Once I get the replacement I will take pics and post my impression about the cable.

      How are the Nordost Valhalla and Odin power cables? Has anyone tried them? Anyone tried the Audioquest WEL Signature? These are very sexy looking cords...
