Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?


I have Accuphase E5000 plugged into my Equitech son of q jr. balanced power supply. Sounds great and I have had the Equitech for a good 15 years now. Everything is dead quiet, not even a hiss coming from the system. Just started thinking about power cords and if it is worth it, I’m in the U.S., if that matters. Thanks

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this...

I am from mine 17 age hifi freak and i am now 63 i hear and have a lot of expensive equipment in the past. Also designed speakers you can asked in hifi evry price you want thats is with cables the same. Give it a name and put a price on it.

I would not go full-on and spend $1000. I like to make my own cables, and usually I but Neotech, so instead of spending $1000 I can spend $300 for a high-quality OCC cable. However, you have to know what you are doing, connect the wires in the right place (main thing to put ground to ground) and tighten them very well. Then if you are not happy about it, you could try the crazy stuff like Cardas and Audioquest

@rtacconi  I may go that route. I’m pretty handy with everything. I wouldn’t spend over $300 on a power cable. Thanks
