Omega Mikro powercord users help:

Hello,
About a month ago I purchased an Omega Mikro pc and for those who own this, know that you get two and keep the one that works in your system. Well, it's been a month now and I can't tell which one sounds better. I notice on the red cord the sound is fuller, and the blue it's a little more focused.
On some day I'm sure it's the blue, on others it's the red. I'm currently using it on the BAT vk-d5 cdp or Bat vk-5i preamp. Anyone with pointers on what to look for exactly would be much appreciated.
THanks,
mhu

i've heard that 75% of equipment sounds better on the lcx red, that's the one i kept. It was easy to tell with most things i tried it on ,except my audio logic dac. Eventually the red worked best on my levinson transport,and,in my cd system,i always crave that fuller sound. It is a great cord,enjoy

Sometimes it will be the case in a given system that there is no clear cut better choice between the red and the blue. Don't try to listen for a difference that may not be there. If there were a meaningful difference for your system, it would be clearly audible. If you think the blue is consistently a little more focused, that might be the better choice. An improved focus and clarity of the sound is typically the type of difference one would expect to hear.

I was surprised that I could tell a difference, but it certainly wasn't night and day, and BOTH the red and blue PCs sounded so good that I would have been happy with either.
