Having recently been called out over another thread on interconnects and their effect on sound, I shared the amount of experimenting I've been doing, it's to the point of tuning my gear with cables, I've found power to have a the least effect. One poster suggested purchasing high quality ends, have you thought of building your own? IMO with power, it seems more impact is with gauge rather than material - OFC/OCC/Silver. Home Depot carries 12GA 2 conductor w/ground for a reasonable price per foot and have found it to make wonderful power cables with the right ends installed. Although, the only instance where power made a huge sound dynamic change for me was pulling out a power conditioner I had - instantly it opened up my DAC and Pre to an entirely different level - all sorts of cable, receptacles, etc not so much - but it's a fun project; maybe a couple of PS Audio receptacles, copper rhodium plated ends and a run of the thickest gauge you can use. Post back what you end up doing.

@loganfan . Thank you; however, You don't appear to have any experience with power cords. It's worth giving a try to just a simple Oracle AC3 non networked cord. I wouldn't joke with you. |
@joenies . I'd be interested to hear your experience with the new AC2. If you enjoy please advise. Will you try any Shunyata model? |
Given what you’re looking for you might take a look at whatever Synergistic PC fits in your budget or buy used if at all possible. Another lesser known PC that sounds like it’ll do what your looking for is the Silverstar PC from Black Cat, and it might be a little less expensive too. Not much by way of reviews yet, but here’s the experience of a happy customer who’s had several other well-respected PCs in his system but much prefers these FWIW... https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?t=46930 Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
