    Ok guys UPDATE,

    I was pretty close to wetting my pants, but I managed not to while listening to music for the last few hours. Here is what I found out so far:

    - Even with the White Night Power 2m power cord connected to the speaker, the bass wasn't strong and as big as I anticipated.

    - I "removed" the Shunyata Research Venom 3 cord from the HTPC and put back my stock power cord.

    - All hell broke lose (in good way)

    - I've got my bass punch back. But not only that, the bass is larger and more forceful. It's also calm when asked to. Bass definition has increased substantially, far more than I've ever gotten with audio interconnects in the past. The bass region is also "3-dimensional". The bass is thunderous. It's sort of like replacing the Venom 3 with a stock power cord "unlocked" the bass to come to life with the White Night Power. This is hilarious.

    - Oh no, the treble comes strong. The BIG difference I am noticing is the detail pop coming from the sides. Each of those musical instruments come clear and each shows its own "depth". The music sounds more spacious, much more spacious. Each instruments are placed farther apart and are very transparent. The treble extends really well. It's about as crisp as the Venom 3 was on the PC if not better. But the detail pop, resolution, and depth is in a different league. There are some strange things in the background in the music I hear. They pop out with clean sparks, something I never heard before, even with some 100% solid silver core from analog interconnect I have tried in the past. This is in a different league.

    When I say music being very spacious, I don't mean echo nor reverberation, it does have more space and air. Bass comes real tight and hard when demand, as well as the thunderous bass. This cable has much wider dynamics, all the way low to the highs. It's not ear hurting / fatiguing bright highs, but more natural and crisp highs.

    And this is coming from just one White Night Power 2m power cord hooked up to my right Focal speaker. Imagine would happen when both speakers are fed with the same cords. Patrick says double the gain, makes sense.

    It's real no joke. He will include a Ground Hanger (alien crystal) in the next package once he gets done building the second cable for me. I told him I didn't eat because I was busy checking out the cable I received and taking photoshoot and video. He says he will include the Protein bars for free! So nice of him. :)

    This is fantastic. Congrats on the beautiful power cable, cheesy. I bet it will profoundly alter the way that you experience music. And I can only imagine what will happen once your White Night Power Distributor arrives on the scene. That should really snap your soundstage into focus. Now listen, if you haven't already purchased the Coconut Audio Proximity Stone, run, don't walk, to install one into your stereo system. They provide for a greater liquidity and added realism to your listening experience. And it is an experience. Either way you're on the right path to audio nirvana.
    Thanks Loud & Clear. Yes I love the way it looks too, which is why I took so many pics. I am dying waiting on the White Night Power Distributor.. Patrick will let me know as soon as he hears anything back from International Inquiry Center about my shipment... It would be a big loss for me as there isn't anything else that will beat it, other than the Ice King ($50k), Grim Reaper ($200k) and Adria Power ($1 million) but then again those are for DAC's so apples and oranges I guess.

    Thanks for the heads up on the Proximity Stone... I have never thought about that. However Patrick is sending me a free ground hanger and protein bars. :smile: I've been curious to try it out. So nice that he send these things out as free gift. I will keep an eye on the Proximity Stone.. I'm gonna ask him about it. He's my buddy. I PM him all the time at anandtech forum.:lol:

    I think you should take a crayon and color the white putty looking stuff Black it would look better.
    I just don't know if it would affect the musical ability of the cable though, You Best ask Patrick about it..lol
    I might be interested then if it was Black..
    I like white tree fiber. It looks glamorous and glorious. Looks exotic, like some artifact from alien spacecraft or planet. I heard Patrick mentioning about not to put coloring of some sort as it hurts sound quality. I think black looks...meh anyway, IMO. Well, if he could find some naturally occuring black wood fiber (if that even exists), would be great. More options for us.

    Am I missing something here. Your spending this cash on bookenders. Not the speakers themselves,the cable that connects to the bookenders.You can afford it, all power to ya. I will not ever knock anyone how they achieved their cash and then how they decide on how to spend it. This time there is no jealousy here ,if it were a pair of Macs or something I could grasp w/ some intellegence then I would say good luck Mazol Tov and hope it all works as well as it looks. To me just because it has a wall fitting doesn't justify this kind of $.
    Speakers are fine. This is a great tool to check out recordings, audio interconnects, power cords, etc etc. It checks out everything. So glad I got this instead of the loudspeakers they use for parties.

    Then come back in a month and let us know how it's working out.
    But i am curious why someone would seek out a new forum that focuses on Polk speakers and promote a power cable and speakers that have ZERO to do with the forum.Did you get kicked off all of the others?
    I can't speak for everyone but for a lot of us here you are nothing but full of **** and cheap entertainment for a few minutes.

    He stated before that because we are a forum of mid range folks. Yet when I asked about a meet up and where he was located I got the reply that he doesn't talk to average people.

    Will be funny to see if this is just a joke. Otherwise its just spam like normal. Either way, I think I'm going to go stick my system in a tree, because you know, tree fibers or something.

    Guess I found my next DAC...especially if all I need to do to get the best sound is have a humidifier set on max in the same room and use an undervolted Netbook as my source...oh...and convert all my crappy FLAC files to WAV format.

    Maybe I exaggerated a little bit in that sentence but all the rest is spot on. I think I will surely wet my pants once I listen to the music with both speakers connected to White Night Power 2m cords. The effect I am getting already is big.

    The detail, 3-dimensionality, and bass impact is very impressive. It's like I'm surrounded by music. There is a lot of depth and great impact in it.

    For the last few days I had trouble sleeping. Because I've been excited with the new toy I've got. Can't wait to get home.

    I will keep you guys posted with the updates on the second White Night Power cord and the investigation on the distributor....

    Keep us posted, cheezy. I also have rabbits as pets, like Patrick does at his factory. That area he set up for them is really cool.

    Really, really looking forward to getting my proximity stones. Should totally lower the noise floor and expose hidden dynamics in the music, creating a more natural and lifelike listening experience. I'm just hoping that I don't excrete waste products upon hearing the stones deployed in my stereo for the first time. Might have to tie a knot in it.

    I'd call this satire, or perhaps parody. Amusing, and far less offensive than the ad hominems that some people like to put forth. I'm a fan of coconut audio's product line, which are probably every bit as effective as some of the other ones out there.

    If you read the web page, you will find you don't need to get a mortgage on the house...you can get a mortgage on the cable.

    $50,000 = $139/month for 30 years! Sign me the eff up!

    The sound out of this White Night Power 2m is gorgeous. Lots and lots of spatial improvement in the sound.

    I will take another video of this cable connected to my gear probably tomorrow when it's bright out.

    I contacted Patrick this morning. Instead of sending me White Night Power 2m cable I asked him to send me the 5m one. It's more expensive than its sibling, and the cable weighs over 5 kilo. I think he has it in stock right now so waiting to hear from him when it gets shipped... I'm also expecting a ground hanger and protein bars!

    What this means to you folks is that you can expect to see more pics. Photoshoot and video.


    I'm also curious to know exactly what ground hanger I will get... Very curious 0_0) I'll have to figure out how I'm gonna hang that thing on the back of my HTPC.


    Stay tuned...

    OMG Update...

    Just got a response from Patrick. He just shipped out the White Night Power 5M cable. In addition to protein bars he added some more surprises for me. ?_?) I'm so excited. I told him I'm gonna take a video of opening the package and checking stuff out. OMG. I paid extra for this cable but man, I know I'm getting the real goods considering how much of impact I've got from the White Night Power 2m cable already. The 5m cable will go directly from wall outlet to the left Focal speaker.
