Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?

Bill(Audiofeil), I apologize for implying that you might consider me a shill. I guess I'm a little paranoid about this as a shill is the last thing that I would want to be labeled. My over-enthusiasm got the best of me. I also apologize for semi-high-jacking this thread. The original poster's enthusiasm for his new Synergistic power cord brought out my enthusiam as well for my new cords as well. Synergistic Research is a well established company with a very good product line.

Back to the original post, I recently had a similar experience with a new power cord that you had with the new Synergistic cord. I haven't experienced yet the new Apex cord using the Tesla technique, but it is intriguing to me and I would like very much to audition one some day. In the meantime, a new company, Fusion Audio, has come out with a trio of power cords using copper or a copper/silver blend of ribbons and foils and I am taken back at just how good they are. I have been a power cord junky for over 5 years now and have experienced some of the best cords out there. This new Fusion company has bettered any cord that I have ever tried. Over the years I have found a nice blend of ribbon cords with other types to be a good mix in my system. I have been particularly fond of certain ribbon-type cords especially on my tube monoblocks and tube preamp. There's something magical about the synergy of a good ribbon power cord with a good tube component. I cherry-picked a mix of Elrod and Electraglide to fine tune my system to be as natural and lifelike as possible and have been very happy until I tried these new Fusion Audio power cords out. They are superior in all respects to any power cord that I've had in my system. And what is really a neat thing for me and other budget conscious audiophiles is that the Fusion cords are less expensive than these well-known cords which they bested. I am a very happy man right now. Never have I enjoyed the musicality of my system than I am now with the addition of these new power cords. One of those rare times when everything just clicked in. Someone please slap me to make sure that I'm not dreaming?

Tvad,
Yes, the $1,200.00 is their suggested retail, but as they are a new company, they are selling all their cords at substantially lower introductory prices in order to get them out in good systems. Word of mouth is what they are hoping will get them accepted as a superior power cord that is priced very reasonably. These new cords are not only superior to the Electraglides, i.e. Epiphany X( I still have one of the originals) but are built much better with a lot more conductors than what Scott Hall used. A better comparison for price and performance would be to the Dream State power cord line. Even at full retail the Fusion Audio power cords are priced roughly half of the Dream State cords and in my opinion the Fusion cords are a more musical and neutral power cord than the Dream State. Also, the Impulse model is their middle priced cord at $1,200.00. Their entry level cord, the Predator, retails for $550.00, are the cords that I have on my amps. The Predators beat out a pair of Elrod Sig 3 cords in my system. The Impulse is on my preamp and it fully beat out the Epiphany X there. They also have a 30 day return policy. IMHO and YMMV.

Introductory pricing only initially to get acceptance in the audio world. I have a feeling that once the audiophile public gets the word of how good these cords are that they will eagerly pay the retail price, which is probably what they'll have to pay anyway soon enough. Have an open mind and try not to be so cynical. I have researched this company and the two guys that started it are honest and legit. There shouldn't be any comparison to Electraglide because Fusion Audio is nothing like Electraglide in customer service,meeting the customer's needs, musicality, and quality of construction. Electraglide is old hat. A lot of people had bad dealings with Electraglide which left a bad taste in their mouth over the deal.Fusion Audio is the new kid on the block and they are the real deal. I feel that they will be a breath of fresh air much needed in the Audiophile community.

No Bill. Yes, there is a resemblance to the Electraglide cords, but it all ends there. No ties or affiliation whatsoever with Electraglide. I also was initially sceptical. Totally new company. I also didn't want any more dealings with Electraglide. The owner of Fusion Audio is a former dealer for Electraglide, but had bad dealings with Scott Hall so they parted ways. This parting of ways is the catalyst that caused them to decide to start a new cable company and make a power cord line that was both superior in construction and quality, but vastly superior in sound quality. In my opinion, they have succeeded with those goals. The introductory pricing is only temporary in order to get enough cords in systems for the owners to hear how good they are and spread the word of their superiority. Eventually, the company hopes to build up a dealership network where the retail pricing will go into effect. I had a talk with Kirk last night and they plan on going to some trade shows soon to have their cords in some of the room systems. The new owner, Eric Love, is a very honest man, in my opinion. He has developed a new power cord line that will be a breath of fresh air for many systems. And Bill, no I am not a shill. I know you're thinking that so let's get the record straight up front. I was one of the first to try out these cables. I did have to pay for them and if I didn't think they were the best there is, Fusion Audio has a 30 day return policy. Did Electraglide offer that?

Jafox,
So as not to ruffle feathers and go through the flames of what is or isn't neutrality( imo, the lack of colorations added to the recorded event) in my system, I will say that I like the Fusion Audio cords in my system. You might not. Do the Fusion Audio cords represent a major value to the consumer? I believe so. All the superlatives you mentioned, plus some, are very descriptive of the Fusion Audio power cords. I currently have the Predator model on my VAC Monoblocs and the Impulse model on my Audio Horizons TP 2.0n tube preamp. By the way, I will open a door a little for some flames and say that I am one of a few people who has tried all the Oyaide and Acrolink power connectors and didn't care for their sound. To my ears they color the sound with a signature that leaves a permanent glaze over the overall picture. It is this signature that didn't appeal to my ears. But then some people could like that added coloration and it might be the right "seasoning" their your system. YMMV. Try it, you'll like it...
