What do you think of this power cord?


Maze Audio is a family-owned company that states it hand-makes its cables in the US.  There is a range of prices for power cables, but I was looking at this entry cable.  I don’t see any mention of the metal used in the cables, but I don’t know if that is as crucial for power cables as for interconnects.  I am interested in your opinions.  Thanks.

bob540,


OFC in the description means "oxygen free copper". As far as "the best copper on the planet", etc, would you advertise the product that not many need and you ask substantial money for as "made of just an average material"?


To put things in the other perspective, I recently, a week or two ago, bought a few "aftermarket" power cords. Stock ones were just fine, but too long. Made a mess behind the equipment. I did try to compare. I am happy that I bought them as they are the right length now, but as far as sound goes, I would recommend you take some kid for ice-cream instead of spending money on power cords. Someone can talk about synergy, this, that, add a few more wise things, but ice-cream is a better deal, no matter how you look at it. It may even earn you a few karma points that power cords will not. Those power cords are from bona fide audio company and they were as cheap as aftermarket cables go, but still more expensive than what I already had.


If you decide to pursue cords, make sure you know in advance when you will stop. There are many "best coppers in the world" vying for your money and each one is more expensive than the previous one.

The copper in your walls is 6 nines. 99.9999 pure copper. I've considered some aftermarket cords but only because the ones that come with components are sometimes a hassle to keep neat they're so long.

I'll tell you this about the woven cables they make.  They are good inexpensive, OFC cables. Double grounds, work well for floor noise issues. I use something very close, I DIY. I don't recommend it if you're not comfortable, or good at it.. 

They make a decent product, at a decent price. Get copper ends, the weave, you got a good product.

There is not a number of dollars you need to spend, MC was referring to a given budget.  See the difference.  TOTAL, before you buy any gear.
After the fact..

NOT every aftermarket cable is better than factory. Krell, comes to mind, there are a few more..

BUT stock 16, 14, 12. No.. They will get you buy. BUT PC per say are pretty low on my list. It also depends where it's at, for the most part. Don't use junk on your amps, pre or source, that's for darn sure.

Once they are cooked and let settle for 1-200 hours, no cooker, 300 hours. Makes a difference...
