Power Cord choices

Hello, 

I’m looking at a new power cord for a high powered solid state amplifier. The two I’m considering are the Wywires Silver Juice 2 HC and Shunyata Venom 10NR. Has anyone compared these two, and if so what were your thoughts?  
 

Thank you.

When discussing power amps with Richard at Shunyata, they promote going up their line for power amps vs with line level components. Venom is at the bottom of their line. NR is a good idea. Be patient and you can find Alpha NR used and a rare 15 amp Sigma NR.

@vonhelmholtz : I listen to music - not AC cords!

I agree I can't see how after traveling who knows how many mile over whatever cable the power company uses and what's in your home how changing the last 3' will do anything.

I would hope that they don’t fall for “this crap” without purchasing with full refund rights for at least 30 days and find the difference worth the monetary outlay. Buy , listen and decide for yourself.  Personally, I’m not a big fan of buying a single power cord and expecting a large difference.  I purchased a power conditioner with cables and this made a large difference in my house.  Upgrading to higher level cables within the power system made lesser differences.  Easiest upgrade noted on main power amp.
