Power cord choice?

Anticables power cords are audibly better in my systems. No doubt there are other manufacturers who make good power cords but I think they are exceptional. They have an easy trial policy that makes trying one a no risk proposition. I was quite sceptical before about power cords (and regenerators) - no longer.

Once again, sales pitches from commissioned people are influencing buying choices.  I think the best person to consider for this advice is the designer of the product.  If he, or the bean counters, compromised on such a simple piece of wiring, you should buy a different product, rather than second guessing a compromised design by pouring more money into it.  If the power cord is not the best needed for the application of an expensive piece of equipment, the engineer/designer has wasted his time with the rest of the design, and more than likely also used other cheap parts inside the unit.  AS far as asking another audiophile, one must control for all possible differences, from the amps, speakers, sources, and of course the room acoustics.  But!  Keep trying.  I have always enjoyed watching people continue wasting time, as I am now doing, striving to adjust their psyches to try to gain approval, both from others and from their view of themselves, as they strive for perfections that continue retreat from us, maybe logrythmically, faster than we can learn that the idea of finding perfection is futile.  Just enjoy the music!  Don't worry about it.  If you hear something that sounds better, decide if it is for you.  Quit inventing problems to solve. There are only a few hosts who are worse than an audiophile who, rather than playing good music for his guests, obsesses over a few bars of music, while asking... well, no matter what he asks it is always, "Am I cool enough, yet?"

Rsjm80, the problem when you ask a question like yours is that people start recommending power cords and don’t really consider or realize the issue.  I myself can not recommend any power cord to you unless I personally hear the cord your presently using and can then know what cord I’ve heard that might give you what your looking for.  I think anyone who’s posted info to help who’s heard your present power cord might offer the best advice.  I have a ton of cords, amps, preamps, cables etc and I would not guide anyone unless I’m familiar with the item they are presently using. 

I have been exceedingly happy with the AudioQuest Thunder power Cord that I use with my AQ Niagara 1200 power conditioner. As I worked my up the AQ line, from the NRG thru the AQ Blizzard and finally the Thunder, I became more aware of a much better sound quality in my system. As Garth Powell from AudioQuest explains in his many videos and interviews, power cords and conditioners on their own do not add anything to the music, they increase the clarity and detail in recorded music by removing RFI and EMI, and nothing more. 

Try anything OCC single crystal that's the best wire for audio acoustic Zen prices are pretty reasonableTalk to Robert there he's the owner
