There is if you can believe it a review of one in the latest PAR - I
wrote to challenge the author/editor that this was pure snake oil. He
was comparing an expensive 14 guage ironing type audiophool cable
with 18 guage zip cord and saying it was better! No, really? And
there are ads for the same product in that issue too, are we
surprised? It is more like a glossy blog than a real magazine any
more...

Just a pet peeve here, but this company markets "high performance
power cords," i.e IEC power cords. Last time I checked the
electricity traveling to my equipment didn't give a damn what kind of
copper was in the last three feet of the 1000 mile electrical
transmission system or if the connectors were gold plated.
In my opinion any "hi-end" audio company that is sells "high
performance power cords" is not run by engineers, but by marketing
people and practitioners of audio witchcraft.
Stay away.
