Power cable Advice...
Hi - I am upgrading my PC's from the basic stock to something higher end. Working with a budget up to $1,500 per cable (used will get me bigger bang for the buck) for the following products:
- Pass Labs X250.5 Power Amp
- Atma-Sphere MP-3 Preamp
- Electrocompaniet EMC1
TIA. Joey

I recommend getting an Audio Quest Hurricane just for your amp to start with. The improvement you get will completely shock you. The largest difference you will hear will be on your amp. Once you do this, it is likely you will want to re-think your investment strategy. Either go Hurricane for the other components or drop down a level for the components to reduce the overall expenditure. The improvement on the amp will likely convince you to the former strategy.
I spent a year auditioning high end amp power cords and was dissatisfied with all. Each either failed to improve the sound in all dimensions or tipped the tonal balance in some way. Then a minute with a Hurricane my search was instantly over. |
@ghdprentice I’m currently running a Shunyata Venom HC for my amp (direct to wall and on its own dedicated 20amp line), and have always had good experiences with AQ.
What do you like about the hurricane? I’m wanting to step up on the PC front for the amp and trust your opinion. Usually prefer copper which brings more natural tones in my experience. |
