Tip for purchase new power cable


Good morning everyone,

I would like to replace my cheap cable with something that increases the depth in the bass range.

I didn't believe that cables could make a difference of a certain kind, but after several demonstrations I had to change my mind.

I am currently considering these cables:

BLACK AL litz 400 POWER CABLE IN PURE COPPER 5 mmq 150cm SUPER CONNECTORS

Oyaide Tunami GPX, Pcocc-a copper network cable 1.5 m
https://www.ebay.it/itm/175771853276

TFA - 3 Ft./90cm Mains cable with Furutech Schuko E11 + Fi-11 Cu
https://www.ebay.it/itm/155377361616

in your opinion which of these 3 cables should sound better and maybe even gain me something in terms of depth in the bass range ?

thanks everyone !

It is highly system dependent. So it would be helpful to know your system.  Having said that,  it is best to try them (making sure they are broken in).  Typically one would use the cable companies library to try them. Giving the budget nature of your search that doesn’t make sense.

 

In that case, all heavy copper will likely provide the best bass without increasing the detail (and perhaps being harsh).

 

all guesses. Best to try.

Do you really think that someone has auditioned three eBay cables and can tell you what to do?

I have my doubts regarding purchasing one cable, especially lower end cables and expecting a transformation of your sound.

I suspect that your issue may involve much more than a cable swap.

What do you mean by “depth of bass’?  I gather that you like what you have except for the bass.

@marco777 - My experience with cables in a similar price range as you are looking at is that they provided no SQ impact versus stock cables. 

@facten : +1!  Forget power cords as tone controls! Get a pair of powered sub's instead for a real improvement in bass response!
