FS: Gutwire B16 Power Cable, 5ft
« on: 16 Jan 2017, 07:09 pm »
Selling my used power cable.  Quality construction from Canada.  Currently going for 99$, will ask 45 shipped and PP'd to Conus.

Review from Stereophile excerpted below.

"I mislaid whatever it was that told me what the thing cost, and that was good. The fact that I thought the B-16 cost a lot more than $99 but still had decided to recommend it indicates that it's a great value for that price. And it's well made, with Schurter and Leviton connectors on multistranded, oxygen-free copper wire."

"I didn't expect much when I swapped the B-16 for the IEC cord that came with the Arcam Solo Music CD receiver, but things immediately clicked more into audible focus, just like that moment in an eye exam when the optometrist finally swaps in the correct lens. I have used the B-16 as the default power cord for all the CD receivers encountered in this quest. Recommended, and $$$ for high value. "
