Audioquest Dragon power cable.


Basically to all that own the AQ Dragon power cords. I recently bought the AQ Dragon Source PC for my Audio Research Ref 9 CDP. I loved it so much that I want to buy another one for my Audio Research Ref 6SE pre amp. I just am a little confused of which one to buy. Either the source or the HC. What would give me the best sound for my ARC Ref 6 se. It is also a 20a c19. I did contact Audio Research and they said I didn’t need the HC for the Ref 6 se preamp. I also was using the Shunyata sigma HC PC for the Ref6 se but want your opinions on this AQ Dragon PC. Thanks.

How are you liking the ARC Ref9 cd player?

 

Happy Listening!

@jafant   I’m loving it. It’s a phenomenal CDP. And with that AQ Dragon source PC even brings it to totally another level. 

Nobody has the right answer because it’s system dependent but I tested HC cables on my Pre Ref6SE (never audio quest) and the richness at the beginning fooled me thinking it was a better sound but with time I realize that it brings way more detail and power but also more brightness. 
It’s important to mention that at that time I was only listening to digital music. Things could be different with Vinyl. 
These days I stick to the cable manufacturer recommendations in regardless of HR or S

If you have curiosity I recommend you to experience it yourself 

hope it helps 

good luck 

@kennymacc that makes sense, for integrated it’s a different story. They usually was more sensitive to power cables
