AC Power cable for ARC Ref 5 se.

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.

I use Sain Line Systems Pure Current power cord with my Ref 6. I really liked the sound of these as compared to Transparent and Kimber. I wanted to try Shunyata too but didn’t. I think Sain Line interconnects offered an even more change in signature than the PC did. All found during a 2 week home audition with about 6 different cords.

nord1 Im using Straightwire Crescendo for all my interconnects and speaker wire which is quad wired. I am very happy with them. I am really looking for a used Shanyata Sigma analog power cable for my ARC Ref 5se. Thanks 

Really?  You trust ARC enough to spend thousands of dollars,  but think you can improve the power cord. What kind of designer would limit his creation to save a truly insignificant amount of money with a crappy power cord?
