In Reply to: Xangsane XS-6008Ag - XS-950 - Grey Knight GK-6008Ag Power Cords posted by el34eh@yahoo.com on April 22, 2023 at 10:03:25:
Good morning All,
As of yesterday after initially placing the Grey Knight GK-6008AG ( which is once again essentially the Xangsane XS-6008Ag slightly dressed up in a black tech-flex finish ) which has seriously caused me to rethink the whole concept of power cord design | options available to us mere mortals.
This is indeed a cord which I'd say music lovers should definitely take it upon themselves to sample ( purchase | own ) before venturing elsewhere | I've never experienced notes popping out of my speakers in this manner..., the sense of top end sparkle is to my ears ( mind ) extremely addictive as the underlying instruments are placed as properly within | outside of the soundstage as I've ever encounter in even much costlier cords, vocal reproduction is simply wonderfully cohesive | bass notes are accurate as well as having the proper weight or foundation needed to carry the passages that can be both heard more clearly as well as felt throughout one's listening space. As much as I once enjoyed the NEARdost cables | power cords, I've to shallow my pride and say these are even better musically in every possible way..., and get my highest recommendation | and then some.
So those of you sitting on the fence | being overly skeptical as it relates to cords in general?, fear not as I've taken it upon myself to be the guinea pig in said manner and weight through the BS, as a means of assisting those of you whom are willing to trust my judgement as sound?, I'd ask you to follow my lead on said brand, as I truthfully believe in my heart, many of you'll enjoy the overall experience of listening to your favorite tunes even more. ABliss | Judith | KanedaK | Jon L. | Mick Wolfe | Mike K, I urge each of you to disregard our older preferences towards said NEARdost Odin types and move onwards to what I currently hear as the absolute short of one again having to spend between $500-$1.200 on any brand of cord as far as my knowledge base goes..., dare I say for the record?, the only copper based cord of which I'm even more impressed with each passing listening session is the Accuphase 40th Anniversary thingy, which once again can be found on eBay domestically for all of $43 for a 1.5m length, which serves my Aurender X100L music server better than a $700 cord which was used prior to having been told about it once again by a young man over on Head-Fi as being better than said Odin Gold.
I simply must emphasize the importance of changing out their stock blades or plugs with whichever brands of rhodium plated copper AC Male | pure or red copper IEC Female connectors as a means of unlocking the beauty of this cord..., as one can clearly hear each whacks | rimshots | decaying properties of any drummers techniques at the very forefront of the recordings themselves | this is very very very effective on acoustic jazz or classical recordings.
My intention for it is like Tangram to change out the stock power plugs blades, which are based upon gold plated brass, to pure copper ones and be done with it.
Once again..., this one should be experienced to be believed | you can always thank me later, as my 65th birthday is on May 31st, hell just collectively get together and as a group just gift me with a pair of the Grey Knight GK-6008Ag SCs ( shown above, which cost a mere $156 per pair ) of which I'd be most grateful, hint | hint.
Take care Kidz | until next time.
