Power Cables - Third Party or OEM
For the conversation let's say I am an Isotek or Shunyata user of their Power Conditioners. Both OEM's have an excellent selection of power cords for the conditioner as well as to other components like amps, DAC's, phono stages, etc. Is there a benefit to using the Isotek or Shunyata cables or going with a third party like Cardas or Nordost power cable?
This seems like an engineering discussion versus a listening discussion. The OEM's know their Power Conditioners so that is where i'm stumped. I, like some others here like uniformity and having all their cables from the same manufacturer. Thanks in advance for your input.

Could be hit or miss. While using the same brand cables as the conditioner may sound logical, I’d place the priority on choosing cables that possess the sound characteristics you’re looking for in the context of your system and then choose a conditioner from there. Plus, relatively few cable manufacturers make power conditioners so requiring both to be the same brand will greatly reduce your cable options. Just my $0.02 FWIW. |
@erik_squires I'm getting more into DIY now as I'm retired. Do you have a site I can reference that outlines a decent quality build/how-to? Thanks in advance. |
@fastfreight You are 100% correct! Just plug the power amp into a wall! I am also a Kubala Sosna fan as well. |
