Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord.


Anyone have any thoughts on this power cord?  I would be using on McIntosh  611’s.

Jason at the Cable Company is recommending these cables, but am not at all familiar with them.  I had read good things about Audioquest cables,  but he said the SR’s give a “livelier” sound.

@bwguy I haven’t tried this cable but tried their lower end model and it was a bit too lively to the point of being bright plus it was super rigid and difficult to maneuver. It exhibited the same sonic traits on everything I tried it on…dac, preamp, amp. I sent it back. I wouldn’t be looking at Synergistic but that’s just me.
I looked at your system photos and there’s very little in terms of acoustic treatments so go easy on lively sound

Also, if you are talking to The Cable Company and thinking of buying from them, use their landing library and borrow several cables to try (you get credit towards purchase after).
I’d look at Audioquest Hurricane or Dragon, Shunyata Alpha and Sigma, Audience FrontRow.
Shunyata and Audience will be most flexible if that matters at all.

Thanks audphile1.  I have on order some acoustic panels from GIK. Hope to have them soon. Jason at the Cable Company did say they were lively, and thought Audioquest cables (I asked about the Hurricane) were dead sounding by comparison. However, everything I read about the Hurricanes is positive. The SR power cord is very pricey so I may pass on it.
