I thought that I would cross post this for your amusment. < I've had some time to evaluate the Black Sand Silver Reference Power Cord. I'm in awe! Folks this is a great power cord. My Signal Cable Magic Power Cord can't compete with this cord. The Signal Cable Power Cord definately offers increased performance over standard power cords, however, the Black Sand Silver Reference is a significant upgrade like modifiying a worthy component. The most significant attribute of the Silver Reference is PRAT. I mean seriously intoxicating PRAT!!! The background is so black its totally absent. The cable flows naturally with increased clarity and offers up alot of details in tracks I've never noticed before. Its PRATTY nature is tonally correct, especially were bass is concerned. YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT IT DOES WITH BASS NOTES! Unbelievably real! The soundstage is more coherent with excellent spacial seperation. Depth of stage is more extended as well as mids and highs. Male and female voices give me goose bumps. Listening to various tracks on "KEM ALBUM II", I hear KEM taking breaths between notes as he harmonizing his Al Jarreau like romantic lyrics. I never heard those details prior to the Silver Ref. power cords. And when listening to Lizz Wright's "Dreaming Wide Awake", I was never as caputured by the seductiveness of her buttery voice. The Silver Reference MKIII Power cord gets my highest recommendation because it brings you much closer to the real thing. I can't imagine a better power cord. If they are still available on audiogon, I would run and try get them at reduced prices before its too late.>
