Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension


Thoughts on high current power cables for amplifiers Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension.  

It seems like a lot of people praise the Dragon

A 14 gauge power cord will easily handle 15 amps! No need for anything else! Stop listening to the untutored! The sound of any component starts with the power supply - not with the wire to the wall outlet!

These wire companies are not your friends! They prey upon naive gullible people for their own profit! Touting power cords for sonic "improvement" is, dare I say it, hucksterism!

You need to do some research on circuit breakers, what you said is incorrect. A 15 amp breaker will trip at 80% of it's 15 amp rating which is 12 amps, but that's continuous, breakers are time sensitive. A lot more than 15 amps for short durations can and does happen without the breaker tripping.

My amp is only 180 watts nameplate so I only need 1.5 amps so I'm going to power it with a 20 gauge wire. I assume eveyone is ok with that?

 

Just showing the foolishness of thinking traditional P=IV for powering an amp.

OP,

 

I am really sorry for all those unhelpful posts by @jasonbourne71. That is his thing.

 

I only own an Audio Quest Hurricane for my amp. After working through many other power cords it just completely hit the right (neutral) tonal balance and low noise floor. I compared with quite a few other PCs.

But I have not tried a Dragoon or Isotec. Given the chatter from folks that have gotten Dragons, this would be my first choice. But at this level, you should be able to try and compare.
