Subject: Short review of $550 power cord plus a new SWTPC 6800 From: "Michael Holley" <swtpc6800 at comcast.net> Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2005 19:18:38 -0700 To: <cctalk at classiccmp.org> With all of this ragging on audio nut who spend obscene amounts of money on wire, I decided to at a look. I don't know why we call them crazy, they don't have 1975 computer running in the basement. The guy in the next office is in to high end audio. (Although he claims that he is in the lower end of the people in his audio club.) I asked if he had a power cord so I could take some pictures. He had a spare PS Audio xStream Statement Power Cable, the 2 meter version lists for $550. This is 6 gauge oxygen free copper with machined connectors. The cord has a ferrite impregnated jacket. Here is my short review of the power cord http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/MP_F/PS_Audio.htm

I took it home and hooked it up to my new custom case computer which also cost me about $550. It is a modern 3 GHz Pentium that looks like a 1975 SWTPC 6800. http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/MP_F/MP_F.htm#NewCover
