Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner?

Hi,

Just a simple question I hope.   I have the Furman Elite-15 Power Line Conditioner.    Should I use the stock power cable to connect the Furman to the electric outlet or should I try to use a high quality 3rd party power cable?   Will it improve the sound if I do?

Would like hear your experience.   

Thanks very much.

Do you have an aftermarket cord that you can borrow from another component (one that you would not need to use)?

ozzy +1 ... it made a significant difference for me when I used a BPT power conditioner, they actually offered a few different level connector cable options

@xcool - try a Zavfino UP-OCC power cable

  • it will make a nice improvement in dynamic performance and imaging

Great question. Yes it depends. If you have no extra high end power cords around… well, you probably will at some point. A waste of money? Probably, but over time it happens and it ends up being useful for experimentation.

 

One thing you can pretty much bet on is installing a couple direct lines for your system (one for most components and one for amp) will have a significant payback.  Might be a move to consider first.
