power cord for pass 250.8

Yes, you should definitely explore a better cable. You don’t have to rush and do it. It might be worthwhile just to listen with the stock cable and get familiar with the sound, etc. At some point, I recommend moving on.

I have the XA60.5 mono blocks. I did an extensive audition working with the Cable Co. It was worth the effort. I landed on the RSX Beyond PC. (In the mix were similarly priced cables from Synergistic, Audioquest and Shunyata.)

PS: No offense but, of course, Nelson Pass is going to be diplomatic on the subject. 

 

Does anybody have any response to what bojack says?

Or is this a controversy that goes back to before the flood?

@roxy1927 goes back to before the flood. Several responses here fall into that category. 

I’ve changed all of my cables over to Audio Sensibility and extremely satisfied. I’m using the “Statement” power cords for all of my equipment, including Pass Labs and Audio Research. 
 

From Audio Sensibility:

At the heart of this cable is Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) copper. Copper purity is 99.9999% (6N) and a special annealing process is used which creates an ultra smooth surface.

Cable Geometry: The conductor bundle consists of three 11 AWG OCC copper conductors encased in an irradiated polyethylene dielectric.

You did ask the question can you do better?

Maybe ever so slightly. Probability nothing audible but I’m a believer in spending enough to make sure you have no weak links but not buying into the Uber expensive esoteric cords. I absolutely believe there are no audible differences between 2 well made power cords of suitable gauge. That being said, for peace of mind I bought an AQ NRG Z3 14 gauge just in case. Found one new open box for $150. I hear no difference. But I like knowing I have a properly made heavy gauge cord. I’d also be completely happy with a Supra hospital/audiophile grade cord for about $200. If I were you I’d get something like that. Try it out. Then buy a pricey cord you can return if you don’t hear a difference. I sincerely believe you won’t.

@megabyte I think you wasted $150
