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.

I envy the naysayers who have so much more money 

than us who belive without a doubt that cables 

matter a great deal. Having said that, it's sad that 

your hearing is so comprised.

Sinatra, try Audio Envy and Triode wire labs power cords.

They offer a 30 day audition trial.

Let’s ignore the comments from these different jasonbournes when it comes to cables and keep the discussion on track instead of feeding their egos and they’ll go away on their own. 
 

@sinatra what amp are we talking about? What’s the rest of your system? It’s very hard to describe the sound of a cable unless you try it in your system and hear what that sonic signature is.

I agree with the posters above recommending going up shunyata line on a used market (Delta or Alpha) and trying several different power cords from other manufacturers.
 

 

The comment on The Venom by Shunyata for a power amp rings true. I use Acoustic Zen Power Chords and the Krakatoa ll were fantastic for source components but fell apart sound wise when I went to A bias on my Plinius. I tried a Cardas Golden Reference and it held its own on the amp but Eventually bought an Acoustic Zen Gargantua ll and it takes everything I throw at it.

I have never tried a Wywire power chord but I do use his Diamond Co axial on my Transport to DAC. Good quality great sound. 

Get something up the chain if you are going to slap it on a high power amp.

Good luck.
