    Your last thread got shut down, im sure this one will too. However I just want to chime in that those are the ugliest looking power cord's ive ever seen in my life, and if you take anything on the Coconut Audio website seriously you're either a moron or the owner.

    So its just coincidence that this is the EXACT same cable shown on the Coconut-Audio picture?

    Hate to feed the trolls and there is no rail on this thread so I got drunk and went the the site. Not a bad layout. Lots of big words for a nice marketting strategy. Think they completely missed the price point for the market and not sure I know anyone that carries or moves their equipment by pulling on the cables so I have never tried lifting weights with mine.

    They lost my interest when they claimed they

    "We completely eliminate capacitance by having the conductors in their own halogen free tubes."

    Seriously eliminate capacitance from a device that is also a conductor...Might have just as well claimed they made a perpetual motion machine...

    Guys, how many times I have to repeat? I told you I am not Patrick. He had an account there at Headfi but he was banned. I am goodolcheez at headfi. We have different writing style and knowledge. We have different voices, live in different place. He is in Sweden. I am in the states. I also don't speak Swedish. On youtube, my user name is IamAnoobieCheez.

    You guys are making my thread funny and more entertaining.

    Guys, C'mon...seriously ? Anyone can state what the price for anything is retail, but a 12g cable for 6 bones.....yeah right. Got a Toyota, retails for 2 million, yours for 25g's. Laughable at best.

    I have no doubt that a power cord can and will improve the sound on powered monitors, and the OP probably does hear some improvements, but it isn't from the white wood fiber on the ends and sure isn't from any other vodoo marketing hype associated with that. My personal feeling on the whole Coconut oil site is that nobody there has the know how to build anything from scratch or has the brains to come up with any new designs on their own. I wouldn't be surprised if their power cable is someone elses in a new jacket with the magic wood fiber on the end, sold at 3 times the price to the unsuspecting.

    High purity Quartz crystals are much more expensive, which I believe is part of the formula he uses in making the cables. I believe they are more expensive than diamonds.

    Guys, it's not just the "play dough" on the ends of the cables making difference, it's the conductors and the surrounding in the cable.

    Patrick said that the lowest end (White Night Blue 1m) power cable will outperform Nordost Odin and Valhalla power cables. The Odin costs about $21k for a 5m.

    So it looks like Patrick's retail price is underpriced.

    You tend to get what you pay for, but I think Patrick's designs are giant killers. The top-of-the-line Adria comes at a cost of one million dollars, but easily outperforms power cables costing two to five million dollars. Not only that, but you get the added comfort of the warranty and replacement guarantees below:

    Lifetime warranty, lifetime insurance and low cost replacements.

    After you pay the million USD we give a lifetime warranty so you can enjoy music to the fullest for the rest of your life. If there's an accident and something happens to it, like a tank or bulldozer runs it over, we will build you another one, for the low cost of $10,000. If the cable is stolen, we will build you another one for $100,000. We want you to enjoy this cable the rest of your life without being afraid to lose it.

    I just watched the recording of live music shows (1080i HD w/ 384kbps+ for audio) off my HTPC. I had good sound and live feel even prior to getting the White Night Power 2m cord, just goes to show how accurate the CMS65 speakers are. But watching the same performance with the White Night Power 2m plugged to speaker the upper bass (close to mid) was phenomenal. It's hard to explain. You would get analytic metallic-like sound - which I find very, very sweet addicting sound - in the upper registers say if you had a pair of high purity 100% solid silver conductor audio cable hooked up to speakers. Well, the White Night Power 2m gave the similar feeling for the low to upper bass region. I didn't know this was possible with the low range registers. Crazy.

    Also I am hearing the "background of the backgrounds" in the stage, lol. There is so much depth in the background details. Talk about ultra high resolution. There is detail in all range of spectrum, low to high.

    Really? All that with 384kbps audio resolution? When cd quality resolution is 1411 kbps. With that much compression how can you hear any of the nuances you spout about with 70% of the audio missing? That must be one magical cable to be able to make 70% of the missing music sound like it's there and then some. That sperm wood fiber goop must have some magical properties. Can you extract....er umm I mean buy the tree sperm paste separately?

    I disagree. It doesn't have to be lossless format to hear all sound benefits. Some HD show recordings I have are at 256kbps and has plenty of detail that can be retrieved. It depends on the recording and how well your audio equipment can convey them.

    As for the white tree fiber, I love the looks of it. I find this cable to be one of the best looking, way better than any other top-end models from high-end cable manufacturers. I still admit... I do love the looks of the Audioquest WEL Signature power cords. Very handsome looking plugs.

    You can get them for that price used (they claim new, but it's used and beatup). You *can* get them for $1800 new. I paid $2000.

    As for the Polk speakers, they are in the lower ends when it comes to detail and accuracy. It's about sound quality over quantity.

    The cheezy (rhymes with sleazy) one comes here trying to promote a product in a positive light, but ends up shooting the product and himself clean thru the heart, dead.

    Stay positive, cheezy. There are a lot of angry men in this world who will try to drag you down with their anger and jealousy. Fact is, you have the white night power cables and they don't. You win. Their cables only cost four figures, which will never reveal true detail and dynamics. The meager dollar amounts simply won't allow for it. Rock on, brother! :smile:

    You can get any products cheaper at any place if they want to offer good sale. The retail price of a pair of CMS65 is full $2000. Anything lower than that are on sale / price drop. However, I paid over $2000 (due to shipping).

    I kindly disagree. You can have a recording in lossless format but sound crappy due to poor quality recording. Interestingly, there are details revealed that I couldn't hear before, with compressed audio file. Also the way the details are conveyed, is different too, or call it sound representation.
