There are definitely a few questions about that cable that I wish were in the description:
-
Overall equivalent wire gauge?
-
Are the plugs brass or copper for the base metal?
-
What dielectric is being used?
At $180 for 1.5m it’d be interesting to compare against a run of Neotech NEP-3002 or Oyaide Black Mamba with a cheap set of copper-base Viborg (or similar) plugs. At the $279 price you could also bring NEP-3001 and DHLabs Red Wave into the discussion
I’m already well into the club! Fortunately I don’t have kids so no guilt on spending 180 bucks on a silly power cord.

Low volume listening is just wonderful. Full color full impact. It is a very important quality.
High volume listening is quite amazing as well.
Currently listening at 77 to 80 dB and its all I could want. I may have to get these.

I think my dealer has a pair of those set up at the moment. I have to pop in there this week to pick something up. Are these the ones?
I think Al mentioned that he’s been listening to the “second generation” or something that denotes that he’s been listening to the latest and greatest version.

I used the mbl 7008a at home and the 7008 integrated amplifier at my workplace for ten years.
It’s been number one for me for a very long time.
I always answered those who asked about my Munich hiend show comments as mbl and others.
Mbl is another lane.

The system was fine tuned today by Jeremy from MBL. The fine tuning made the speaker system more cohesive and the tower of subs disappeared in the room along with the speakers all you heard is musicians playing like they are in the room! I can say I’ve heard any speaker come close to what the MBL Extreme does. Everything sounds unbelievably realistic! I couldn’t hear any weakness on vocals, instruments, noise in the recording venue/studio everything is there and palpable! Bass is clean and crisp and times I could feel it on my sternum. They are hard to walk away from while music is playing. They are reference standard speakers and I don’t know if anything comes close. That realism comes at a steep price but what an engineering marvel! Pure genius!!!

The only thing that came to my mind was this must be how it sounds inside the recording studio.

That’s the sound we may all be chasing whether we’ve recognized that yet or not.

I want to like this post but I can’t. It may be too obscene. Yet, I know if I could, I would.

If you look through the show reports from the Florida show in February one of them posted the US cost of the MK II Extreme system they heard at Kyomi. If my memory is correct it is north of $600k. That doesn’t include the room and cost of the number of 20 amp dedicated circuits required to power it.
