BlackSand PC question

I have recently bought a Black Sand power cord..... a Silver Reference model with Wallgate ends.
I am very pleased. Great detail, Clarity and speed. Musical yet natural sounding. This cord works well on my Equitech 2Q, my Velodyne DD15 Sub, Accustic Arts Amp but this model of cord, although it sounded OK, I.M.O. didn't excel on my CD Player. I haven't tried it on my preamp.
It was thin and dry sounding for about 50 hours before it burnt in, opened up and bloomed.

GREAT SOUNDING CORD AT A REALISTIC PRICE. They do have a 30 day return policy with this cord.

They work fine for me and another MAJOR plus is he is very accomadating as far as if your system/needs change.
Just try getting other powercord people even to TALK to you.

I recently purchased two of the Black Sand Silver Reference PCs -- one for my McCormack DNA-500 and the other for my ARC SP9 preamp. I have to say that these are quite amazing power cords! There's an interesting thread out on AudioCircle...

Mdconnelly,
I seem to remember that you tried one of DCCA cords on your DNA-500. Did you have a chance to do some comparing of it to the Black Sand Silver Reference? Also, does this Silver Reference have all silver conductors in it?

The Silver Reference is built using a "12 AWG 3 Silver/Copper blended conductor twisted pair internal wire" (taken from their web site see www.blacksandcable.com)

I did try one of the lower end DCCA cords back in February but found it not an ideal match for my system. It seemed to add to bit too much body/richness to the mids. I did talk with Don @ DCCA a good bit about it (sharp guy), but his higher end cords were just out of my reach. I've only had the Black Sand PCs for a couple weeks now so I did not have the opportunity to compare them.
