Has anyone tried the Audience Forte F3 power cord?

The component's stock cords will rob and steal dynamics and clarity.So?  If you are going to try a audiophile cable in your system? In able to hear the difference? All the other components that are still using their OEM cables will veil and muffle the benefits of the better cord.  You might as well not bother. 

I find that typical stock cables choke and veil.  You need to find a place that offers a thirty day return and order a power cable for all your system.   A good place to start is Audio Advisor Pangea cords.  Cords need to burn in for awhile. But, if you can not hear a difference right away (which will keep getting better burning in) ?  Then there is no hope.  

Even if it sounds lousy at first?  It proved the point that power cords effect the sound....

I have been using Pangea for about four years now.  With better cables when you try a different audiophile cable?  They will allow you to hear the change in sound quality when trying a different cord.   I find trying the new cord in a source component shows up the best to test the difference.

It’s now been almost 7 months, and everything seems to have stabilized and is good as it’s going to get. I’m glad I purchased the F3’s. So all is good until I get the bug again. Might buy another PC for my spinner, an OPPO UDP 93. 

Thoughts?

I purchased an f3 earlier this week from The Cable Company ($149) and the results (out of the box) are nothing short of astounding!  Plugging the F3 directly into my Cayin CS55-a integrated amp, has breathed new life into the system and the cable hasn't even burnt in yet.  Most noticeable is the improvement to the low end. Previously, the bass was good, but now it's great!  I've compared the F3 to the Cayin's stock power cable, a Signal Cable MagicPower cord and a Nordost Heimdall II power cord, which is 4x the cost.  With the other power cords I "thought" I could tell a difference, but with the Forte I "can" tell a difference; it's very noticeable with my system (Cayin and Totem Rainmakers). I'm also using Ohno III speaker cables, which I highly recommend too.  The f3 an Ohno cables are outstanding values!

If you like a warm and laidback tone with good amounts of detail, this is probably the best value power cord out there. I bought two of these cords and brought them over to a friend's place. We also had another power cord that cost more than 30x the cost of the Audience. Sure, it was better but the Audience was not embarrassed at all.

Thanks bargie & ericteh,

I’m finding the same subtle warmth and detail with the F3’s only on my amps. And the price is great. I even found them for $125.00!
