+1 dynaquest4 Do your research, here is a great explanation of how little influence a power cord has on how your system sounds: http://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/power-cables |
I have limited experience with trying different cables but I can tell you that I have had several Richard Gray Power Cables and never was sure they made a noticeable improvement in sound.I decided to take the plunge and invest in 2 Shunyata Python 20 amp cables for my ARC amp and pre.I was sold on them after 15 min of listening.They really got rid of that low level noise that I never knew was there.I was hearing things in the music that I never before.There are literally hundreds of cable companies out there and many make fine cables but I have only tried 2. |
Thanks for all the advice, opinions, & information. I took a chance (as well as your advice on not spending a lot) & bought the ConneX-79463 power cable from Parts ConneXion. This is a silver plated OCC cable with carbon fiber/rhodium plated ends. The sound is great. Much smoother, wider, deeper, dynamic, & 3D than the Pangea. I'm not sure if they cook them before selling them but as mentioned by Whitestix above, the improvement was immediate. genez, I tried the AC-14 before on this amp & for whatever reason (it was only a meter so that could be it), it didn't really improve anything. I currently have that going to my preamp & it's working well, although I'll probably but another ConneX-79463 to try there as well at some point in the future. Again, Thank you! |
