BC61 14 awg and BC62 10awg power cords
There are two reasons why Blue Circle power cords have been accepted by so many audiophiles as their reference standard power cord. First, Blue Circle power cords are unquestionably among the best power cords at their price points. In fact, they out perform many that cost a great deal more.
Second, besides allowing your components to sound their best they are also amazingly flexible. For example, even though the BC62 is a 10awg power cord and it can easily bend around tight corners. It can even coil up in a 2.5" diameter circle. This is amazing for a 10awg power cord. If you want to keep your cables neat and tidy but want to get the best from your components, these power cords are the best.
The BC61 and BC62 also work GREAT with professional sound gear including power amps, mixers, keyboard, bass guitar and guitar amps.

BC63 and BC64
The BC63 and BC64 are identical to the 61 and 62, but with some added features. Both these power cords have a control box integrated into the power cord. Each control box has two switches. The first switch is a two-position switch that allows the user to lift the ground connection. This is very useful in hunting down ground loop problems. The second switch is a three-position switch that allows the user to reverse the line polarity. Position one is normal (live-to-live, neutral-to-neutral). The center position is open, to prevent arcing during transition. The third position is reverse polarity (live-to-neutral, neutral-to-live). Not all homes are wired correctly, and some components are very sensitive to line polarity. We have had very positive feedback from professional installers about the usefulness of these features.
BC65
The BC65 is an extension cord based on the BC62. The only difference is that the IEC plug has been replaced with a cable-mount hospital grade receptacle.
All power cords, and the extension cord, come in a standard length of six feet (1.83 m). If this length does not meet your needs then we would be happy to custom build a power cord or extension cord to your specifications. The maximum length for any of these cords is thirty feet (9.15 m). E-mail us directly with your custom length power cord requirements.
We recommend that the BC62 and BC64 be used for high current-draw applications like power amps. We have also seen some surprising improvements by using the BC61 and BC63 on digital equipment such as DACs, transports and DVDs. We would also like to suggest that a high quality powerline conditioner, such as one of the Music Rings, should be used in conjunction with any power cord for best performance.
BC68MkII
The BC68MkII with Inline Filter
is an improved version of the original BC68. Instead of the original built in line-conditioner equivalent to two BC86 MKII noisehounds, the filtering has been increased to three BC86MKIII....three time as much as the original BC68!
The MKII also has an LED power indicator. It is designed to glow just enough to inform the user there is power flowing. Optional surge protection is available. The filter is potted in silicone just like the original. However, the MKII uses more durable ABS pipe casing that is more durable than the original aluminium box.
Price for 6' with or without surge protection: $515.00
