Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier

"I readily admit that these designer power cords look beautiful, but don't sound any different than a standard power cord. That is a legitimate opinion and many audiophiles subscribe to it. "

- You are absolutely entitled to your opinion, however don't inject it into a thread that the OP just wants suggestions from others on a PC for a specific amplifier. He clearly doesn't share your view or your arrogant attitude. You made it clear that you tried aftermarket cords and didn't hear much of a difference. That sir, doesn't mean that others don't. Everyone hears differently and brains interpret differently. Neither side is right or wrong, it just is.

Sorry didn’t mean to offend you in anyway. Like you I have been an audiophile for over 50 years and learned many years ago how cables can change a system. We just have had different ways of listening and from my perspective I just don’t know how anyone can’t not hear these differences. They are so obvious. But I guess we all have  different sensitivities to these differences or listen for different characteristics in a system.

I listen to a lot of music and don’t take kindly to being told I don’t know how to do so.

@rtorchia Well then don’t make a statement like you did when the OP has already said he heard significant improvements upgrading a couple of his PCs because your comment comes across as arrogant and is utterly useless in this instance. Sometimes it’s better to say nothing at all.

@ rtorchia

I am 73 years old and have been a music lover and audiophile for over half a century. During that time I have owned numerous classic and high level components. Many of my friends were audiophiles and heard their equipment. I was in the music and hi-fi business while in college and graduate school. Yes, I listen to a lot of music and don't take kindly to being told I don't know how to do so. Yes, I owned some fancy power cords that I was extremely pleased to sell. Why? Because I didn't hear an iota of a difference. But I must confess that I am an ASR enthusiast and believe in science. I readily admit that these designer power cords look beautiful, but don't sound any different than a standard power cord. That is a legitimate opinion and many audiophiles subscribe to it. 

Thanks for sharing your life-long experience, Two thumbs up!!! Stay healthy...

you won’t hear anything better until it warms up for 3 hours.

you need to spend 2.5-3k to make any significant difference on an amp like yours.
