Power Snake Mamba vs. Synergistic Master

Hi Alexc; After putting in a dedicated AC and ground system, my whole system was too bright. So I put Syn. Res. on ALL four major components (amp, pre-amp, DAC, and transport) and the improvement was amazing. For the money, the Master Couplers are an excellent product. At the time I did this, I auditioned 6-7 other power cords-- including some $600-700. ones, and the MCs were the best in my system. Next I want to try the SR Reference MCs on sourse components, and maybe some Shunyatas. Good Luck. Craig.

I've been auditioning the Black Mamba on my Meridian 508.24 CD player. It replaces the Synergistic Research Master AC Coupler (which is a great power cord). I needed to make a decision today, because the auditioned Black Mambas are due back this week. Last night I switched them back and forth a few times. The Black Mambas were clearly superior. Deeper bass, more depth in the soundstage, quieter background, etc. Contact Wen-Li at eaudionet.com. he provides an excellent auditioning service and sends you a quality product to try. I just posted the Synergistic Research Master AC Coupler for sale, if you're interested.Good luck!

Alexc, I have 2 Masters on my Meridian front end and a BMI EEL reference on my Classe amp. Both PC's are excellent, I think the BMI is superior, more clarity for sure, great bass and a better soundstage than the SR's on the amp. I'm very happy with the SR's on the digital - a huge improvement over stock.

I've noticed not too many people have tried Custom Power Cord Company Model 11. This cable is a Absolute Sound favorite and is a steal at $270. I think it beats alot of the cables mentioned here. I put one on the power supply of my Audible Illusions M3A, and it made a huge difference. IMHO Best-Gary

Pops - Have you tried the EEL on your preamp or digital front end? Gmele - I would also be interested in the CPC 11...but I've ony seem one up for sale used in the last month..and it was gone in about a nanosecond. If giure for $ 20 -325, you can go up a step or two buying used. Gotta love Audiogon!
