Value Power Cords- LessLoss or Triode Wire Labs?
I have tried both cords. The Lessloss I sold after a while. I remember it as being rolled off in the highs. That was not what I was after. The Triode 8 I own now and have used it with my Bryston amp. I can't make up my mind about it. Keep in mind that power cord perfomance, as I'm sure you know, is very highly system dependent and even component dependent. And, opinions about power cables are highly subjective. In any given system, both those cords could and should be excellent; it will depend on the many variables that affect a given system's sound. Buy them, try them, and listen for yourself. If you don't like what you hear, you will probably end up reselling. Or, like some of us, they will be laying around somewhere, until you use them in some other system configuration. |
I haven't tried the Less Loss, but I have tried many others, like MAC's, Kaplan's, Asylum cord, and a few of the other large, well known companies (to remain nameless here). To keep it short, my system now consists of Kaplan's and TWL power cords. Foster is correct, one cord may not work best in all places. You need some trial and error and comparisons to find what works and sounds best to you on any given piece of equipment. But I can say that the TWL cables have sounded great in the vast majority of places I used them. And for the cost they are a steal. I believe they also offer a return guarantee, but I doubt he gets many (if any) back. |

Trying to decide between 2 power cords for a CD transport,(head about to explode) will upgrade transport down the road. Amp, ATI 6000 2 channel (2 Cullen cables for same,requires 2) Pre Amp Benchmark LA-4 (Anti-cables power cord) Meitner DAC MA1-V2 (triode wire labs (11Plus) All balanced except current transport. Cable choices at this time,(don't want to spend a ton (less than $500) best for the money Triode wire labs 11plus, digital American? or Dh Labs power plus or power plus CRYO? Doesn't necessarily have to go on transport, can switch around. (Transport currently running stock cable Thanks as usual. Robert TN |
@robshaw I use Nordost Heimdall 2 on my streamer with great results. It should work just as well on the CD transport. Find a used one it should be within yiur budget + - few dollars. |

@robshaw At your price range I’d do a free trial of these — high quality copper and cryo treated and high value for the price IMHO. Best of luck. Heres a review fyi… https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/ice-age-audio/ |
