Power Cord for Spectral DMC-30 Pre Amp


I purchased this pre here on audiogon. I will be recieving it on Monday. Looking for input on how the stock power cord performs. Also looking for recommendations on power cord upgrades based on experience. Thanks.

So you have fallen to the "cable and interconnect" group, have you? Take your power cable with you to your local cable and interconnect dealer and compare your cord to what they have. Only buy if you hear a difference equal or greater than the price.
Nope. Don't agree at all with jazzcat. Borrow power cables from dealers who will allow you to try them at home in your own system before buying. Most will do that. If power cables are new, give them ~10-15 hours of play to break in.

You are testing electrical and musical synergy with your components, and it can't be done at the dealership on their equipment.

Flex:

Any recommendations from Spectral experience with cables that are about 1/2 of the cost of the ZIII ?

Thanks!
Barrelchief,
Email Joe Abrams on the Z3. He also has a borrow/return policy if it doesn't work out.
The MIT Z Cord 2 works well and is recommended by the mfg. and Spectral dealers. A higher performance powercord is the Oracle AC 1. We do not recommend using the Z Cord III with Spectral. It is a fine product, but not for this application.
