Cleeds thank you.... Ive also been told that it is 15 amp.... Very confused about this....
AC Power cable for ARC Ref 5 se.
I recently purchased a ARC Ref 5se and i heard that changing the power cord makes a difference in better sound. Can anyone recommend some power cords that they changed with their 5se? Also changing the fuse? Thanks

Adding a link of a picture of the back http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649227690-audio-research-ref5se-preamp-new-in-factory-sealed-box-... All ARC manuals are searchable, but oddly the manual does not specify what form the cord is All the current Ref series ARC components use 20A inlets |
Another thing to consider is wall outlets and the metal content. If they are made of copper, you might want to stay with copper metal in the male plug. Same with the IEC. I have used and am very satisfied with VH Audio AirSign cables.Your choice of terminals and the cable itself is very flexible. It has been written countless time at Agon and elsewhere, everything matters! |
The Ref 5se uses a 20 amp power cord. There are pictures of the back on the arcdb website. I have not heard either of the Anaconda power cords. I have heard that the later version was not quite as good as the earlier but I don't know. Like most companys, some of their pieces are real home runs while others are not quite as good. The HC versions have better shielding and usually sound better than the regular versions. folkfreak, Does the Ref CD9 use a 20 amp power cord? I know that my Ref CD7 uses a 15 amp and I believe the CD8 does also. |
