One Cord To Rule Them All


I'm seeking advice for a power cord to go from the wall outlet to my PSA P10 power regenerator. It needs to be 1.5M / 5 ft. and have the ability to pass 600 watts for many hours per day. My current PC is a Pangea AC-9, and my budget is about $200 to $300. The candidates I have so far are: Pangea AC-9 SE Mk ll, Audio Envy Ocean 3, or a PS Audio AC10 (used for about $300). Any thoughts? ... Thanks

You want to get power from the wall to the regenerator over a distance of 5 feet?  And you want to push 600 watts (5A at nominal voltage).  How would you spend more than a couple of dollars doing that?  Standard household power cable does that all day long.  Nothing is going to change between the wall and the regenerator.  It is the PSA 10's job and raison d'être to eliminate line noise, waveform fluctuation and feed perfect sine wave power to your equipment.  Spending hundreds of dollars for a "cable" to bring it power makes no sense whatsoever.
Well, it looks like there are 2 camps here. One says keep what I have because before the P10 "wire is wire" and the other half thinks it all matters. Just for the record, it is a dedicated line with a SR Black power outlet. I was tempted to get the Audio Envy Mega 3, but this ongoing discussion has me undecided. I guess like all "hi-fi" there will be forever disagreements.
Well Koestner, perhaps you borrow 5 foot of fancy cable and buy 5 foot of cooker wire.  Do a listening test.

Please come back and tell us all about it.

You came here to ask for opinions and you got exactly that! If you don’t think your audio system worth experimenting with a $300 power cord on a $5K component then my friend you are in the wrong hobby :-)

What is the worst outcome...you buy that cord and don’t hear any improvements over existing cord. Well, you sell that cord and absorb some loss but you will stop wondering and move on to focus on something else in your system. That piece of mind, knowing you have tried and trusted your own ears is priceless.

BTW, I am using AE Mega 3’s in my system, excellent cord for the money.
