Power cord upgrades for Krell amps

Of course Krell recommends using the provided power cable, which is a Belden for their amplifiers. While I can't (and wouldn't want to) dispute other's claims (as above), Krell has stated that additional improvement has not been proven by changing the PC over their provided ones on their amplifiers. It would seem that if significant improvements were available via changing the PC then Krell would be quick to sell such an expensive PC at a reasonable Krell price.

Isn't the power cable on the 350m captive? My FPB 300-C has a captive PC. My FPB 200 was not captive, but did not have the standard amp plug that is standard to most PCs.

Ckoffend: I have always been of the same mindset as you on the matter but I am interested in the opinions of other folks that have upgraded. I hope more will respond.

I am not saying that a PC change cannot improve the performance of a Krell amp. In all likelihood it is just as likely to improve the performance of a Krell as many other brands. Just conveying Krells position on this. This topic is covered in several other threads that you may want to check out that may have more commments alredy posted. FWIW, my Krell dealer suggests that I replace my Krell PC with Transparent for a noticeable sonic improvement!

Dude, the power cords are captive on the 350M's..I had them!! IF they needed a PC I would go with Transparent for power..reference MM is special!!

If you have a captive cord and don't know what to do about that problem, consider changing out your Krell amp fuses to Hi Fi Tuning fuses. I was tremendously happy with my 1 amp fast blows on my 350 mcx amps, (2 each amp). Amazing.

If someone can tell me how to remove the captive cord, I would give it a shot.
