As for which cable to replace first, buy one cable and move it around. See which component improves most. Buy a second cable and repeat.
Help selecting a power cord.
All my gear has the factory supplied power cords I’m ready to try 1 aftermarket power cable as a test. So what brand power cable should it be and what device gets it first? Tube pre? Tube main? D/A? CD transport? Roon Nucleus? Subs? GE Trefs?? Turntable? Oppo 103? Which piece of my gear should be most affected by the improved power cord?? I look forward to the responses and will likely choose the cord that has the most recommendations.

@lalitk I agree that there are probably good cables under 1k from many manufacturers. And that is precisely my point. DIY is not going to achieve those levels of sound quality easily. I disagree that good power cable is system dependent. If the power cable is system dependent then it has been designed to do something well and if you have the system that doesn't do that particular thing well you have a match. Otherwise you don't. The power cable doesn't make the music it allows the components to shine. |
@earlflynn @bewgow @lalitk My system sounds fantastic so I didn’t try any other power cords. I was happy with Pangea/BAT and now with Pangea/Spectral. Pangea is a very good investment. Power cords don’t make much of a difference with high end gear. Spending on other things like room acoustics will bring more improvement. Thanks for your comments and questions. |
