For sale is a 2m (6.5 ft) Black Sand Silver Reference mk V power cord with upgraded Oyaide P/C-079 Direct Gold connectors (vs. the standard Wattgate silver 330iAG / 350 iAG terminations.) This is an exceptionally great sounding cable beating many other higher priced competitors.
Price $425.00 + shipping from Toronto, Canada - (Original price $639.00 USD) - e-mail: b99721@yahoo.com
Picture is of my cable with 046 paladium over gold connectors but the 079 direct gold cable is in the same ideal condition.

In my system, the Oyaide 079 upgrade (compared to the standard Wattgates) gave a noticeably silky smoother and grain-free and warm midrange along with more refined highs and better soundstaging and depth. Bass very tight and well controlled. These advantages were even more pronounced due to the exceptional synergy when the cable was plugged into an Oyaide AC receptacle although you could hear the significant advantages when I plugged it into a PS Audio power port or an FIM 880 outlet.
I am the original owner of this power cord and these were custom ordered from John of Black Sand directly and are less than 3 months old. I'm selling to upgrade to the Black Sand Statement Ones!
In the feedback for John of Black Sand Cable, some customers have posted their own impressions of the Black Sand Silver Reference mk V.
