Power cable

@ghdprentice Don’t get me wrong, the AQ H is a very good power cord. I tried Shunyata Alpha v2 while I had the Hurricane to see if I can get a more neutral and balanced presentation and it did sound more open but ultimately the Alpha was much cooler sounding and caused a fatigue quickly. With Hurricane I could listen for hours without a desire to lower the volume. Again, It’s a very nice cable and I totally see how it can work in other systems. I think it was just too much of a good thing with the already warmer sounding Pass amplification. I wanted something more balanced top to bottom without the emphasis on bass or any particular region for that mstter. The Furutech FP-S55n cable provided that in my system but the DPS takes it even further without being analytical and artificially detailed. It is 100% worth trying the AQ H though. If it didn’t work great in my system it doesn’t mean it’s a bad cable. It’s all about synergy.

I have a few Pangea AC cables which are a relative bargain compared to ultra expensive ones (the AC9 is like a garden hose but note that it will not work as an actual garden hose so don’t even try that)...I also have an older PS Audio cable that looks cool, so let the jealousy begin ("Wow, a PS Audio AC cable...this guy has TASTE"). I didn’t detect much difference in the sound of my system with groovy AC cables, but they seem well designed and make me feel better so there’s that. I’ve installed "audio geek" outlets for the gear heap...grippy, very grippy. Also, "room conditioning" can make your room sound different but not necessarily better.

Let’s not turn this discussion into why cables matter. Ignore the spam and stay on topic.
