Quick Question About Power Cables


Hi All,

I recently bought a Bryston BDP 3 streamer/renderer and love how refined and relaxed it sounds. I would like it more if the bass was a bit more controlled and had a little more impact. A friend and Audiogon member suggested I try an Audio Sensability Statement Power Cable. He bought one for his tube DAC and said the bass got tighter an offered better slam. Anyway, for those who are PC savy, what are your thoughts on the matter? Thanks!

@goofyfoot without waiting for your answer, changing the power cord on the streamer is unlikely to give you the results you’re looking for. If you list the rest of your components and cables, you will probably get a better advice. 

@goofyfoot 

The advice above makes sense.  If you desire improvement, then knowing your system is a must.  No need to put a lot of effort in, but you can list component, including cables in your profile as a virtual system. 

Sorry, here are my components; Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC, ASR Magic Cord, Wireworld Starlight Platinum USB cable, Hi Diamond interconnects, Bryston BDP 3, ASR Emitter II Exclusive amp, Hi Diamond Speaker Cables, Quad 2905 Speakers, PS Audio passive line conditioner. Yes I know there's a 30 day return period on the cable but I was just hoping that someone might be able to give me a clue as to whether it'll be worth the time and money to order the AS Statement.

@gkelly When I bought the Bryston, it came with a $3.00 power cord. I assume the $500.00 Statement cable should result in a difference of some sort.

@coralkong Thanks for bringing up the fuse option, I didn't think of that. I installed a Synergistic Blue fuse on my DAC and it did make a noticeable improvement in clarity.
