What do you think of this power cord?
| Post removed |
Let’s add one more brand with inexpensive cables that look fine, are reasonably flexible, and come in different lengths. I would second that, bought 3 Zu Mission power cables on their eBay promo auctions , price/performance is just ridiculous, it is well under $100. ( And what’s funny 2m lengths are often go cheaper than 1m, even though they are preferable sound wise). They are pretty neutral, good at freq extremes and midrange is nicely clean, good bass also. Quite universal cables. In my system I preferred them to Cardas, Chord and Mark Grant cords that I used before. If you want to upgrade a stock cord, it’s a no brainer. |
Bob, I see the unenlightened out in full force telling you that power cables are a waste of money and to go eat ice cream! Power cables do make a difference and although I have not heard them, Audio Envy get great reviews. Consider a used cable to get something better for the same price. If you can DIY then that's best value of all. I have Oyaide Black Mamba V2 which is stunning and feel it can compete with some big $$$ cables. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/20028465790?iid=142383656227&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid... If you shop around you can find cheaper than this. I bought a 3M piece and cut in half to make 2 cables. I used different IEC plugs on the amplifier end and found that they sounded different. So using the same piece of cable I got different results. Not only do the cables sound different, so do the connectors. Anybody telling you otherwise has either not tried a good cable, has a poorly resolving system, as in bad or has substandard hearing. @cakyol, which category do you fit? |
