Power Cable Suggestions


Will be receiving used Mark Levinson No 436 monoblock amps and would appreciate power cord recommendations, preferabley under $500, or stick with the stock power cords.
Thanks!

dnb4,

Sorry your thread got jacked by a bunch of idiots. I actually have your amps and one thing you need to be mindful of is one of the handles on the back is too close to the iec connector and this will limit your choices. My cable of choice for my other components is the Dynamic Design Titania AE’s but the Furutech connectors are too fat and the handle blocks it. Right now I use a cheaper Nordost Red Dawn on the amps and they’re a ton better than the stock cords. I plan on upgrading these soon because the biggest improvement I’ve ever heard from a cable was from a power cable upgrade (the DD’s). So if you want know what fits, look at the size of the connectors that Nordost uses and go from there. Good luck.
DH labs silver sonic from the cable company work well, and for those nay sayers of which I once was unless you try a better cord how do you know? And if you can't tell the difference maybe a Bose wave radio is more suited for listening experience.



@piaaudio, @mammothguy54 , @68pete, @3090, @kevinkroc ~ Thank-you all for your suggestions/recommendations.
I need to look used, but so far finding 2 matching power cables (I can afford) has been difficult.
@3090 ~ Appreciate the info on the handles affecting what iec connector will fit. Never would have thought of that.
@mammothguy54 ~ As all my interconnects are Audioquest (except for one Darwin Cable Company interconnect) I will look at their power cables. A power conditioner is next on search list.
Isn't it a little weired to invest in power cables without also investing in power cleaning and power stabilization? Not into this yet, just wondering.
I find DIY interconnects harder to duplicate great sonics, DIY power cables are pretty easy to hear an improvement in sound. Even 6 or 8 gauge Home Depot wire with some clamps on it will sound better than stock cord. Sonic craft has some nice premade power cord wire. You can also check Parts Connextion they may still have a sale going on. One thing I found the power cable connections quality make a big difference. Also the cheap 80 cent contractor wall outlet can be improved with a $10 pass Seymour or Hubble outlet.
