>From enjoythemusic.com: http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0206/midmonth/bolder_modified_slimdevices_squeezebox.htm "This go round I've installed one of Wayne's uber power cords to replace my nifty 12 gauge power cord. This is the Nitro Plus (and then some). The Nitro Plus sports Silver Plated Copper conductors with Teflon as a dielectric. The conductors are braided in a Star Quad geometry. At the IEC connector you will find a pair of big honkin Bybee purifiers. Finally, Wayne has terminated the power cord with Oyaide connectors. What power cord wouldn't be complete without being double Cryo dipped. This little number checks in right at a cool $1000. That's right, this little jewel will cost you one cool Cleveland and is (not quite) twice what the mods AND the power supply cost combined. There is no substitute for excess. Listening to the Nitro Plus brings more air and naturalness especially to vocals. The music now erupts from the speakers. The presentation gets bigger and the imagining of the performers get tighter at the same time. The bass is less flabby and has more definition. The sound is far cleaner top to bottom. The Nitro Plus seems just a tad thinner sounding than the stock power cord which is actually a good thing for the bass but if you like a fuller, more embellished midrange sound, this cord dries it up a bit. The Bolder Nitro Plus definitely brings you closer to what has been recorded. Bravo!" Not sure I believe in what they have to say over there. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it.
