Hello,
I had a couple of AC-5s for a brief try on my power amps a few years back. Compared to the stock cables the sound was nicer (I noticed a stronger bottom) but flat in terms of soundstage. The main reason I didn't keep them, however, was they were too stiff for my liking; I prefer flexibility. I do still use a couple of the Jewel AC cords on peripherals and don't find anything negative in doing so.
