My 2 cents - I think your power cord budget is good for a solid performing Shunyata Venom HC v1 or v2. Great bargains used. On the power conditioner if you can go up a little $-wise, try an Isotek EVO3 Polaris. See listing at the Music Direct link below. MD is great to deal with and have a very helpful return policy. I would live with the Polaris and stock Isotek cord for a while, then try a Venom HC. I purchased an open box Isotek Aquarius from MD and was surprised by the difference it made in my system (despite 3 dedicated lines). Truly like a component upgrade. Later, replacing the stock Premier power cord with a Venom HC made a significant difference for the better. Be aware the Isotek conditioners take a C19 plug. https://www.musicdirect.com/power/IsoTek-EVO3-Polaris-Power-Conditioner Good luck. |
