What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs?


I’m considering a pair of Rel S510s to go with my Diablo 300 and B&W 802 D2’s. I’ve invested quite a bit in cabling: Audioquest Dragon for my amp, Hurricanes for my source equipment, and Nordost Valhalla 2 for my speaker wire. I can clearly hear the difference between a Hurricane and a Dragon cord when powering my amp. The Dragon puts space and air around vocals and instruments with front to back depth.

There is no way I can afford anything better than two 3m Hurricanes for the Rel S510’s but my question is, how much do power cords matter for subs? Sadly for my wallet, I’ve found that higher grade cords do make a considerable difference for all my other components, verified through blind tests. Not as much as speaker cables, but still a big difference.

I also have a Innuos network isolation switch and also an Innuos USB reclocker, to support my Innuos Zenith Mk 3 streamer.

Does power cord quality matter less with subs than with everything else?

For the record I’ve seen other threads on this subject, with what seems to be consensus that power cords don’t matter with subs, but I was hoping others who, like me, appreciate the difference a top tier power cord can make, can comment on whether there truly is no benefit to using one when it comes to subs. Has anyone compared a Hurricane grade (or better) cord with a stock cord, connected to a high end sub?

Oops poked the bear, being a ‘tool’ is not my ‘thang’ so I’ll exercise a little modesty and realize who I address. Lol

My buddy  said before I or we dismiss your claims we should get your reference point..it all comes down to what you own or have tried in audio.Tell us about the different power cables you've tried and on what associated gear...maybe that will explain things better to the I'd say majority who invest in power cables and believe they make a difference...so let's hear it please Mr GTO

Minor differences . Maybe………

If you have the cash go up to the next level other than buying the the power cord for the sub. IMO. 

This is kind of a random way to approach this.  I was looking at the Audioquest price book and noticed that their most expensive subwoofer cable retails for $340 for 2m.  Contrast this with their most expensive interconnect that retails for $2,750 for 0.5m.  Maybe it's an indicator for the amount that cable can impact the subwoofer signal.
