Mating power cords with APL 3910


While waiting for my (Denon) APL 3910 to arrive, I need some help in coming up with a short list of power cords to audition with it. In addition to listing the PCs you liked best with this unit, it would be most helpful if you could provide some specificity. In particular, what sonic and musical virtues are the offspring when the particular PC is mated with the APL 3910? Sonically speaking, which PCs didn't do as well with it? Are there any PCs that mate well (or don't mate well) with digital sources in general?

Yada: Your electrician is probably going to be clueless in this regards. It will be up to you and the amount of research that you do on the subject as to who well your electrical system works. Most electricians only understand voltage & current demands, suitable gauges of wire, safety factors / legalities and getting the circuit from point A to point B. Unless you are lucky enough to have an electrician that is both an avid audiophile and reader of forums like these, you'll need to do your own looking, checking and designing. As such, look at some of the pic's and info available in the archives here and start taking notes. Sean

Using David Elrod's Sig 2 on my APL 3910 and the sound is amazing. ALso have dedicated 20 amp lines and Elrod Statement from wall to BPT 3.5+ signature power conditioner and Sig 3 feeding a McCormack DNA-500 amp.
Fplanner2000: I had my APL plugged into a BPT3.5 also. Recently plugged it into the wall and it improved. I talked to Alex about it and He said that his power supply already converts to balanced power and better not to plug it into the BPT. Just got an Isoclean and better still.
Thanks - I already tried that and mine sounds better through the BPT+. Is yours the 3.5+ or the 3.5? Also, the cord used from the wall to the BPT makes a HUGE difference, I have discovered. When I went from the Sig 3 to the Statement, all my components sounded even better.
Tried the Virtual Dynamic Nite I, and the music did not breathe as well as with the EG Mini Khan Plus. It sounded more shrill, and forced. The cord was also a bugger to work with--VERY stiff. I then tried the Ultra Khan Statement Revision II, and it's here to stay. The music was a bit more transparent and relaxed with it than with the Mini Khan.
I am plugging into an Aural Thrills Power Box, which is unfortunately no longer made. It's a great little piece of equipment, which could generally be found for around $100 on auction. When I went into the wall with the same cords, the end rankings & effect were identical, however.
