Prana Wire Vajra Power Cord, Part 1
It's been quite some time since I posted to my blog -- October 6, 2013 to be exact. The reason is that I find Xanga's current posting engine awkward, unfriendly to the user and just a general PITA to work with. There. Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let the games begin.
The subject of today's installment is the Prana Wire Vajra Power Cord. Silly name aside, this is without a doubt the best power cord I've ever used. And the most expensive by far. The used 2 meter cord I was lucky enough to purchase at a deep discount has a retail price of $6,548. I kid you not.
Here's what it looks like:
Prana Wire Vajra Power Cord
When you take into account what the cord is comprised of, the price becomes more understandable although still awfully expensive. Not nearly in the same league, however as Prana Wire's Avatar II power cord which would cost $24,400 in the same length!
Anyway, here's a partial listing of what you get and where applicable how much each item would cost:
1) Oyaide M1 and F1 Beryllium/Copper Platinum/Palladium plated Reference Series Connectors ($690)
M1/F1 Connectors
2) Super Enhanced Ground Plane (SEGP) Upgrade ($600)
Super Enhanced Ground Plane
3) Linebacker In-Line Power Filter ($2,250)
Linebacker Module
The Vajra power cord itself is composed of 7 gauge ultra high purity silver copper hybrid. This particular cord appears to have been produced June 9, 2012.
Serial Number (June 9, 2012)
In the next installment my impressions of how the Vajra "sounds" connected to first a PS Audio Juice Bar and then the formidable Audio Excellence AZ Power Wing II will be explored. Stay tuned.

FYI and FWIW, from my computer, this post comes out very nicely and well-organized. I know that, when we compose Xanga 2.0 posts, having to click on "preview" all the time is annoying. But for this post, well done!
