Bryston Power Amp users - what power cord?


What power cord do you use for your Bryston amp?

Also, do you use any surge protector or power conditioner?

Bryston says to plug them dirctley into the wall. I have for the last few years, but am going to try them into a Brickwall 20amp protecter.
I've had Bryston products for years into I purchased a Pass Labs amp. Plug them straight into the wall. The best power cable I found for the big Brystons was the sidewinder gold from Shunyata.
Rws is correct - Bryston has reasoning for their suggestion on their web site. Use the stock cords. Nothing to be gained by aftermarket cords.
Bryston is now distributing the Plitron filter/conditioners. I expect to see a change in the party line.

Shortly after I bought my Bryston amps several years ago, I bought some AudioQuest power cords that were on sale at HCM Audio (regularly $120 each, on sale for $49). To be frank, I couldn't tell any difference between the AQ's and the stock power cords.

I have most of my system plugged into Monster Power HTS-2000 power conditioners, which provide a useful -- altho' not dramatic -- improvement in the overall sound quality (mainly reduced noise level).

Bryston amps are designed with professional use in mind, so their circuitry is pretty robust and does not seem to benefit a lot from after-market power cords and gizmos -- at least, that's my experience.
