Power cords for Coincident Frankenstein and AMR DP-777 <100$


Hey guys,

I am thinking of venturing down the world of power cords. Does anyone have actual experience with PCs for Coincident Frankenstein (or the AMR DAC) that are in my price range (<100$). I know the best would be Coincident PCs but I don’t want to spend that much with experimenting with PCs just yet. Also at this moment returns, using the cable company, and try and resell are not an option.

Thanks

In principle I agree with you guys. Sadly expensive power cords will have to wait their turn. 

The current queue for my system is:

Preamp (Duh! looking for used Shindo)
better 300b tubes (right now I have Shuguang black treasure)


I got excited about power cords and jumped the gun after reading this post: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/changed-the-power-cord-to-signalcable-magic-power-cord-on-my-...

This guy got an improvement with 69$ PCs which bettered his speaker upgrade!!!


Hello Essrand,
The Black Treasure 300b is a very worthy tube (I used them happily for two and a half years ). To better them you'll have to spend more money. For what you'd pay for better 300b tubes that money would get you two good used power cords and a good AC wall outlet  (they make a difference ). Definitely various reasonable routes to consider. In my opinion addressing the AC power (power cable, outlet and upgraded fuses ) is fundamental and money well allocated towards towards improving an audio system.  Choices 😊

Hey Essrand, what I like about these forums is that you can learn from those who have gone before you. I wish I would have listened to such advice years ago. Considering the similar paths you and  charles1dad have and what he had to go through to get where he is, I"d bet dollars to donuts that with his advice, you'd benefit.

All the best,

Nonoise,
Thanks for your kind comments.  You're right I'm advising based strictly on personal experiences. Without question 300b tube choice influences sound quality  (I've heard 11 different 300bs in my amplifier ,numerous generous loans). I just believe that people often underappreciate the value of good quality AC  power.

Charles1dad and Essrand;
Although I do not own the Coincident Frankenstein, at this point in my auditioning of the Graphene Extreme High Current power cord I can highly recommend it to you.
