King Cobra vs. FIM ?????


O.K. guys. Who is the king of the hill? Please lets hear from guys who've used both cords and briefly describe your setup so we have an idea of your sound. I want to step up my setup to the top dog. Thanks in advance, Mark

Marklivia : with fim you get tinkerbell, too. she cuts all the crap outta the current. and, if you're really nice, she'll turn on a light when you open the door to your refrigerator!
You really should try the FIM cable prior to making such comments, Rosebud. Reminds me of the fable about the Fox and the Sour Grapes. (Just a reminder, the FIM COSTS LESS than the King Cobra, and outperforms it as well). Isn't this a good thing?
Jacks@aol.com: i have tried the fim cable, as well as the ic's and cords. BTW, this thread appears to be only about pc's. anyway, i agree that the fim is first-rate and outdoes a lot of stuff that's more expensive. soon as i have the $$, going to purchase a whole set. (i need to replace a 19 foot run of balanced ic. yikes!!) last night's post was intended to be sardonically humorous. sorry if you thought it serious. ya gotta admit, tho, that the "stardust" stuff is pretty ludicrous, even if it does work.
Marklivia- I, too, have lived with the KC and the FIM Gold powercords. Each is a great product. With that said, the FIM is the most "universal" in that it can (and should) be used throughout a system. The KC (v1 or v2) is best used on frontend equipment in my system with some other model on the amps. Given the price and performance, the FIM would be the preferred product IMHO. I still like the KCv1 (I was less impressed with the v2 even though it is more "neutral" than the v1), but the FIM would be the better way to go. Trust your own ears. Just my .02
