Guys, I told you and told you I wasn't bs'ing.... Look, I received the White Night Power 2m power cord last night. This is a replacement cable in case if my long waited White Night Power Distributor 2.5m ($50k) gets lost.. Anyways, I've got too excited and didn't eat as I was busy taking photoshoot and take a video of this replacement cable...

He is currently building the second one and will send it to me so I can have a full pair... They will connect directly from wall outlet to the Focal speakers.


More pics coming shortly...

    ^ Well, this cable is considerably cheaper, as it's a bit shorter and does not have 20 layers of Whitewood airy tree fibers and 3D silver shielding powder. But it's still pretty expensive. A pair of these retails for $24,000.

    The next group of pics will show this cable connected to the Focal speaker. Photoshoot.

    ^ Scotty, I have contacted the vendor to assist me on returning the Shunyata Research Venom 3 power cord for a refund as while it provided good high's and detail in the upper region, the bass was lost. It lost thrust. Not acceptable.


    That tree and snake, good synergy aesthetically... It looks more natural. I added a mini piller there for an added touch. The cable has high strength. It can be bent in to shapes.

    The FIRST thing I do when I get a new audio product I'm really excited about, is spend about 2 hours lining up carefully to get the best pictures of it!

    Then, in anticipation of the joy of listening, I go to my favorite coffee shop and enjoy a great cup (or two) and my guilty pleasure of a good pastry!

    But if it's really, really a special buy, I mean over the top cool....then I leave straight from the coffee shop for a two week vacation!!

    High quality and high price is there but I'm really in a wrong line of business.
    I need to find something better so I can afford high end audio.
    To put things in perspective, I have over 30 pairs of speakers, 20 receivers/amps, 10 CD/DVD players plus bunch of cassette decks, processors, laptops, desktops, tv's and still won't be 1/3rd of the cheaper version of above cable. :eek:

    $24,000 a pair... but it would be a loss for me if my $50k White Night Power Distributor gone missing.

    Yes. Direct connection from wall outlet to the speakers (amp). If you go through an ordinary powerstrip or line conditioner it hurts sound according to Patrick. No protection to speaker, but best sound is provided.

    That's the seller I got the cable from. I am not Patrick.

    Mods should have source to get IP's and track down where I live and where Patrick lives. Also should be able to find out whose name is under ISP. I would however, not to post it on public forum. Keep it confidential to yourself, Mods.

    Also, Check youtube videos between his and mine and compare. He and I have different voices. That is because we are two different people.

    I never said that's how much I paid. I said "retail". And I paid for the White Night Power Distributor 2.5m. The 2m cable (not the distributor) was sent to me as a replacement. I have said this already.

    I don't know what luch is. Did you mean lunch? I just had it. If you meant luck, well, I don't think I'm lucky yet as I haven't received my distributor yet.

    Okay assuming that scenario, don't you have to upgrade your whole house electrical wiring to match the quality of that power cord?
    Unless the internal electrical cables have at least same performance of those cords. :confused:
    Regardless of whether I use $50K power cord or $50 power cord, it gets electricity from the same house cables from fusebox. :eek:
    I agree that some cords are cheapo made and it does make a difference to get higher quality cords but man, $50K?

    Well then, I guess we ALL better jump on that $600 introductory price. I mean, come on, $24k PC's for $600? WOW. But wait, performance value is only $12k.


    Everything you post stinks, and it doesn't smell like cheese.
    If you do the math, a pair of this cable retails $24,000. The math is correct. But once again, I didn't purchase the White Night Power 2m power cord.... I bought the White Night Power Distributor 2.5m. These are different cables, not the same.

    Ya know, I bought a Lexus, retail was 1.2 million but got it for a measly 30g's. What a deal I got. :lol:

    My good man, we are happy you bought an upgraded PC and certainly 6 bones isn't out of the ordinary and we hope you dig it to no end. But to claim these are worth 12g's and you snagged them at a supposedly intro offer....well, makes for good entertainment anyway.

    All the filtering and cleaning is done in the last segment (power cord in your home). No need to worry about dirty powerline outside the house. Though having clean power around your house helps, but the last several feet that takes the final cleaning process. it's sort of like water enters your mouth after going through water filtration.
    I agree that some cords are cheapo made and it does make a difference to get higher quality cords but man, $50K?

    You might want to try out Wireworld Stratus power cord. They can be had for $75, and is highly effective. I haven't tried the cable myself but heard good things about it. They are notorious for giving great dynamics. Both low and high registers will be improved. People are getting very good result on their TV screen too if it's connected to it.

    But guys! The tree and snake have good aesthetic synergy. Can't put a price on that.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I only listened to music for 15- 20 minutes last night before went to bed. I am at work right now and will do some burn-in when I get back. I was told that this cable requires at least 1 month of burn-in... Some of the bigger brothers require 2 months. Right now as you can see the left speaker is running off the stock power cord and the right one is running off White Night Power 2m... I prefer to wait till I receive the second power cord so I will have a full pair to do some critical listening. I will post my impression on the sound in the next couple of days or so however...

    Anyway, I just wanted to point out that you appear to be using your Focal NEARFIELD speakers in a most non-nearfield listening manner.
    I bought it due to accuracy and detail it provides. I listen to them in a nearfield manner about half the time. Sometimes I sit back on the couch and enjoy. You can buy nearfield speakers for non-nearfield environment. There is no rule.
