Power Cord Suggestions REF 5se
Just got a recently purchased ARC REF5se back from the shop and really got to hear it for the first time. The output caps were replaced, due to a long story for another time. Anyway, it is fixed and working correctly. At the end of the first night I came to notice that the high end was a little....fatiguing after several hours. I suspect that some is due to the need of the caps to burn-in, could some perhaps be due to the factory pc?
I am currently thinking about a replacement pc and would like to get some suggestions from guys familiar with the 5se. I am running Pass 260.8 with it and had been using a LS27 before getting the 5se and the top end was not nearly as fatiguing.
As it is a 20a plug and I do not have any on hand to swap and try I am hoping someone has already gone through the task. As I am convinced that pc make a difference, I am looking for a couple of names that I should investigate and for a pc I think used is fine, as it will also limit the downside should it not mate well in my system.
I have spent hours looking and researching a half dozen so far, with literally hundreds more to go. I am hoping for a short list of cable manufacturers/models to keep an eye out for.
BTW-I would like to stay away for a discussion about the validity of cables, I am a believer so if you are not, that's fine. Let's take it from there.

It has somewhat but due to work schedule I am pretty sure it still had less than 100 hours on it. This weekend I might get another 10 hours or so, will make an effort to work it this week after I get home each night so maybe by next weekend I will have a better idea. It has already tamed the hf so I am heading in the right direction. |
Take a look at ... https://www.in-akustik.de/en/ I think they are one of the best cable companies on the market A more affordable option - If the budget won't stretch to that - try ... https://kleinnovations.com/ For somethin between the two above - try Nordost Regards - Steve |
@williewonka +1 on the Inakustik. Look at the Reference 2502F or their AIR series.You can reach out out to user @wig on this forum who has completely changed his cables to Inakustik. And this gentleman has changed his cabling from $$$$ Verastarr cables.I have the
Reference 2502F
power cables and am seriously considering the LS-2404 myself. At some point I want full loom of Inakustik cables in my system. But it will take time.
Inakustik is somehow overlooked here in the US.
