PowerSnake Owners Unite!


OK PowerSnake owners, I think it's high time that we combine our efforts to completely familiarize our fellow Audiogon members with the power cords that we love more than any other on the planet. I'm asking owners of the Sidewinder, Black Mamba, Cobra and King Cobra to tell everyone honestly what these cords have done to improve the sound of their system. Believe me, you haven't really heard what your components sound like until you've heard them through a PowerSnake.

I can't believe it two post in one day I am passionate about. I have been in serious audio for 28 years. I have never had any component make the kind of difference the powersnakes have made. I have a black mamba on my joule-electra and a cobra on my belcanto DAC One. The authority, the tonal balance, the ease, and oh yes the incredible size of your soundstage. When I first heard others talk about the bass I was afraid it would overpower my room but these things managed to give me more bass and tighter better bass at the same time. I hate to admit it but they do sound better plugged into my Richar Gray Power Stations. I had hoped I could sell these when I got the snakes. I quess there was some reason the two companies recomended each other.
How long do KC owners feel it takes to really hear the Snake open up? I ran my computer with it for over a week. Putting it back on my CDP yielded maybe 75% improvement over fresh out of the bag--a smooth velvety sound with much better bass pitch and resolution. Jack, with my RGPC, it's too much of a good thing, prefer the Snake in the wall--but maybe I need to give it time.
Hey Folks! sign me up, I live in San Francisco, anyone knows the nearest dealer? website? Thanks
I have a Sidewinder feeding my Musical Fidelity X-Ray CD player, results are very good. Powersnakes acheive the "holy grail" of audio, more detail, dynamics, and depth....plus a smoother overall sound. Works wonders on CD players taking the last bit of digital edge out of sound. Nothing anywhere near $280 can touch a Sidewindwer for improved sound. Wow anyone who can afford cobras must be in the $20,000 plus range for overall system value.......must be nice
I've had the best from E-Glide, Synergistic, NBS, Purist through my sssytem and there's no denying the complete dominance of the PSnakes over all of them...to my ear. These are definitely NOT flavor of the month..been there done that. I've owned three KC's for close to a year now and I still thrill to what they do for music. These aren't tone controls or colored cords, they're superior at resolving the inner detail of music...PERIOD. The percentage of those that've tried and subsequently purchased them is higher than with any other PC I know of. I got a chance to hear the SideWinder recently and was shocked that a PC in that range could be as musical as that with no trade offs. ANd this company is but a year old, with these PC's still in mk 1 iteration...Can you imagine what the future may hold? I can :o)
