Hi guyz,

I just ordered an Unreal Power 5M power cable from Patrick for my audio system. As you know I currently have a White Night Power 5M ($350k) and a White Night Power 2M ($60k) for my Focal speakers. Well, the Unreal Power 5M cable will power my HTPC through its power supply.

Here are a few pics of my current cable and entertainment cabinet (wine storage cabinet actually).

If you are curious what Unreal Power 5M cable looks like see here --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC7Ub3JG0pY&lc=cfwEvbiEnKN1taqZ6J_7MH0k82nEdPV-G3v7i5LKUws


Video of my PC and cabinet to figure out how I'm gonna hook up Unreal Power 5M when it gets here hopefully by Friday of this week.

I am fortunate that Patrick was able to sell it to me for smokin' hot deal. I can't wait!

    Please....please let this last! Do not get this over too quickly.

    Here is the spec for the Unreal Power 5M:

    5 meter long
    Weight: 5.5 kg
    3x 15 awg solid core copper conductors
    100% coverage thick aluminum shield
    Alien crystal formula to reject RFI/EMI and clean noise
    Whitewood airy tree fibers
    Black crystal crust
    Furutech FI-50 plugs


    I will be getting the one that was shown in his video. Black/white sleeve. The plugs looks like Oreo cooky crumbs on whip cream. Looks so tasty.:smile: It's the black crystal crust on whitewood tree fiber on the plug. It looks like it's going to be as thick as my White Night Power 5M and weighs just as much. I may have to run it outside the cabinet and place the power supply on top of the cabinet and tug the PC inside? Hmmm......

    It's black crystals used for tuning sound to provide maximum contrast and microdetail. It is one of the piezoelectrical quartz crystals that he uses around the conductors I believe.:)

    You are gonna run those cables on that little system in the pics above? lol

    You are like the Bozo The Clown of the audio world.
    I think I'm going to place the PC inside the cabinet in the second shelf and set the power supply on top of the cabinet and connect the Unreal Power 5M to it. And this way we can see the beautiful cable and easier for photoshoot. I'll be taking 70 pics just like I did previously with White Night Power cables..

    I think the reviewer at Kansas didn't know what they were doing and broke their own gear and tried to blame on his cables IIRC. Anyways, he's got a better reviewer now. Me! :surprised: I support him and love him.

    Incorrect. I am Cheezy not Patrick. He lives on the other side of the world and speaks Swedish. I don't.

    ^ I have never posted anything at audioasylum... I go to youtube, anandtech forum, and here. I don't post much here though, only except for when I have very special event such as getting a new cable. This is big bucks, big investment. I still struggle with my financial condition. After making a large down payment for the cable I will barely have enough money to pay for gas and food for the next two weeks. I don't know. I might have to ride a bicycle to work on the 19th of this month. Right now is the bad time because I had to pay out for the plates ($400), homeowner's association fee, damn speeding ticket :mad:, etc. I may have similar typing style as Patrick but that doesn't make us the same person. But yes, we do have some things in common. :smile:

    Is Cheezy actually Patrick?

    Well, I'll be honest, I did considerable research on the subject myself after cheezy appeared on the scene here.
    I read alot about Patrick, and saw them both post on many forums (not that it has anything to do with it).
    I have seen him accused of being Patrick on 1 other forum also.

    I am certainly not one to back down from something like this:cheesygrin:, but there is SOME doubt in my mind they are one in the same, for a couple of reasons.

    There certainly was a time when I thought they were, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt at this point cheezy.

    I tried to bust you Cheezy, as have many others on many other forums.:lol:
    To be honest I don't think Patrick is smart enough to pull off a dual identity "speel" for this long, on many forums at the same time.
    The fact that you take a beating because of your relationship with him, just brings it all down on you, and I am not entirely sure why you would want to put yourself in that predicament?

    Patrick isn't stupid, just not right in the head. I've done extensive research as I used to do investigations of this sort (extensive online research) and I've had my doubts at times, but there are certain anomalies that just cannot be explained any other way. I don't care to go into detail because I don't have any references and don't care to do the research again, but I stand by my findings.

    I DO have access to databases that would once and for all set this straight, but that would be a severe abuse of power. :cool:

    The fact that it has not been proven, by multiple people, on a few forums is one doubt of mine at least.
    Secondly, if you follow them on these forums, you can start to get a feel of different personalities.
    There were some videos back then that showed Patricks place, and his "workshop".
    In those videos, his housekeeping skills made Cheezy's look like a NASA "clean room".

    I thought at times Patrick's posts had a sense of being "translated" with software.
    I never really got that feeling with Cheezy's posts.

    I could be wrong.

    But if they are not the same person, then I think we might just have a case of "Uber" brand loyalty, and we have both seen that on forums (certainly nothing wrong with that).

    Forum administration CAN see IP addresses, and the two have never been deleted on the same forum as a result of people thinking they were one in the same, as far as I can tell.

    Patrick has been banned all over the net, Cheezy has not.

    2 different people?

    Probably, in my mind at least, I am somewhat convinced they are not the same person, or they would have both been banned according to their location and IP address.:redface:

    Gonna have to concur.
    I mean, it would be different if we were talking about a viable and valid product. But instead we are talking alien crystals and tree fibers and recycled bovine ****. I mean, seriously? It's like letting the screaming kid at the restaurant drive away the rest of your customers because you don't have balls to tell the parents to shut their kid up or GTFO.

    I agree to a certain extent, but I think it may just be that he found something he likes, and no one knows what he paid for it, so he might just be a "satisfied" customer.
    And I would note here, that Coconut Audio has alot of feedback on Agon, all positive.

    I always have the thought in the back of my mind that I am wrong about this, but either way I feel sorry for both of them.
    I would love nothing more than to link the two, but I have my doubts anyone ever will (many have tried including websight/forums).
