    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.

    You might want to try out Wireworld Stratus power cord. They can be had for $75, and is highly effective.

    I see. Okay that Wireworld cord is somewhat in my budget. :loneranger:

    I think getting the nearfield speakers such as Focal CMS line (or higher) is important. Not only you can check out how the recordings sound but also checks out your audio cables and power cords. Great tool.

    Guys, let's please keep civil.. I don't want my thread derailed. I have more information to update later.

    Thanks,

    Yes, I would recommend to try it. If you get it from amazon the returning for a refund should be smooth and painless. I bought a pair of Wireworld Oasis-6 RCA cables and it does have great contrast / dynamics. From what I heard it appears to be the same case for the power cords. But won't know for sure until you try it with your own ears (or eyes).

    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.

    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

    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 $.

    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?

    It comes up with free protein bars. That's awesome on so many levels.
    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

    It might be telling that Coconut Audio's product lines consist of Power Cables, Speaker Cables, Interconnect Cables, VibraPortals, Proximity Stones, Hangers, Sea Shells, Miracle Balls, and Cable Elevators. Because that's where the music is. I just placed an order for 4 of their Positive Proximity Stones, which once placed next to my CD player, will remove the negative energy that's been plaguing my system, and replacing it with the positive energy that the stones project. Normally these are priced at $1000 per stone, but are currently on sale for just $78. So I basically stole a quad for $312.

    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. :)

    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 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.

    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.
