Power Cord choices


Hello, 

I’m looking at a new power cord for a high powered solid state amplifier. The two I’m considering are the Wywires Silver Juice 2 HC and Shunyata Venom 10NR. Has anyone compared these two, and if so what were your thoughts?  
 

Thank you.

The comment on The Venom by Shunyata for a power amp rings true. I use Acoustic Zen Power Chords and the Krakatoa ll were fantastic for source components but fell apart sound wise when I went to A bias on my Plinius. I tried a Cardas Golden Reference and it held its own on the amp but Eventually bought an Acoustic Zen Gargantua ll and it takes everything I throw at it.

I have never tried a Wywire power chord but I do use his Diamond Co axial on my Transport to DAC. Good quality great sound. 

Get something up the chain if you are going to slap it on a high power amp.

Good luck.

Try going to The Cable Company and look at their USED power Chords. They will send you an array of Power Chords to try. If you like one send the others back. I bought my Audience inter connects and phono cable there. They were manufacture samples or from audio shows.

I am currently using Shunyata Venoms and Cullens, and am thinking about upgrades. There has been a lot of enthusiasm for Zavfino speaker cables, does anyone have experience with their power cables? The marketing sounds good. 😀

I also would be interested in thoughts on the merits of using longer power cables. I have seen comments that shorter ones may not be as effective.
