PS Audio AC-5 question

I recently bought PS Audio AC-5 power cord for my Parasound HCA-1205A amp. My pre is Anthem AVM-20 with Shunyata Diamondback power cord. My speakers are Paradigm Studio 60 v.3. When I changed the power cord of the amp from stock cable, I found that the overall sound is more forward than I would like. Also the top end has opened up, but I feel it to be a bit harsh - to the face. Not sure what is the issue. Is the PS Audio AC-5 a worng choice to Parasound amp?.

Hi Lake and Nasaman, the instalation for the Soloist is pretty simple use the templet and cut a double gang box hole and the wiring is straight forward, and looks good installed! Music direct has the Perfectwave cables for 50% off with any cable trade in and free shipping this month.

I picked them from music direct for 50% off. Got good deal on Quintet at Decibel Audio.

Quintet has got 275 hrs and AC-12 has got 145hrs. The sound is nicely opening up. Somehow, the touch of realism on instruments is missing. Hopefully is comes out. Jdub, hows you AC-12 opening up the system.

In ways never thought possible, at 120 hrs the snap and flow are comming back, imaging is in the center again with more depth than before. overall the mids are nice bass not fully back highs still working it out. Post back at 160 to 175 and tell me if it opens up more.

good to hear about your AC-12. I just picked a Caig DeoxIT Gold G5 spray. Not sure how to use it. Can I spray directly on the connectors?. Should I wipe off with cotton swap or leave it to dry. Can I use it on the inner side on the ICs?.
