What's better than FIM power cords

Lot's of choices

You may want to look at Companies like Fusion Kubala DCCA etc..there are so many and like everthing else in this hobby YMMV once you sampled these in your system

Flexible "upmarket" power cords I have used include: Tekline Reference and Micro Reference, TelWire, Lessloss, Shunyata Python and Anaconda.

None is universally better than another, but each offers good performance in a cord that is easily maneuvered in one's system.

Tvad - How would you compare the Teklines to the other cords that you mentioned? You're the first one I've seen to have auditioned the Teklines other than someone who was connected to the company. Thanks!

The Tekline cords are excellent. They are more refined and extended than the Lessloss cords with better bass definition. They have more midrange body and bass than the TelWire cord (perhaps the TelWire is more neutral). I can't compare them to the Shunyata cords as it's been a long time since I owned Shunyata, but I would say the Teklines can certainly hold their own.

Of course, this is all my opinion based on hearing these products in my system.

As I said earlier, all the cords are very good in their own way.
