I'm more curious than really looking at the moment

A few months ago, I took a decision to move to WW for 2 main reasons; firstly the obvious overall enthusiasm for the brand round here, but also because the WW Electra's offered the same Ohno copper as I already loved with another brand of mains cord I was using (a UK based operation, MCRUS). However, no matter how great they sounded, they were inflexible affairs, and thus the appeal of WW Electra's.
I have no regrets at all, despite the Electra's being a considerably cheaper cord (In UK money, £750 v £250 ) - the flexibility is indeed excellent, and they sound wonderful, if I had to pick just one word it would be *Natural*. I use a 2m length to my power strip, then all 1.5m (a compromise between the magic 2m and my finances!!) from strip to components. Do I spend any time wondering if it would have sounded better if they were all 2m cords....nope! In fact, a few nights ago, I swapped the more expensive MCRUS cord back to the power strip, and although yes, there was a touch more detail it came at the expense of listener fatigue, not great, but the WW Electra went straight back in & won't be moving!
At the back of my memory I also recall a Nordost review in HIFI+ in which the reviewer briefly mentioned being told by Nordost that 2m was the optimum length for their pc's too, but I have to admit I rather put that one down to the prevalence of *cut n shut* 1m Valhalla's that were popping up on Fleabay at that time!! The fact the editor of said mag now works for Nordost didn't help this opinion.....
