for the Kaptovator

I also have had excellent results with the Kaptivator, and I agree it is not subtle.

Dynamics wise, it is clearly superior to other cables and has the unique ability to remove coloration, especially when used into a power conditioner.

The only other power cable that comes close is the Virtual Dynamics Nite and Master LE. The Kaptivator is better on digital and most solid state gear while the Virtual Dynamics is better on tube gear.

Product Weakness:	May not do all of its magic on tube gear.
Product Strengths:	Superior dynamics and detail throughout the audible range. Removes coloration. Full bodied.
