Your description of the Frey sounds like what I would like but that’s a lot more than I wanted to spend on the cable. But maybe I’ll have to.
Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier
I have a new Accuphase P-4600 amplifier and am looking for a power cord to replace the stock. So far I’ve tried the Cullen Crossfire and the IceAge OFC Frankencable. While both cables have worked well on my source components they have not performed better than the stock on the amplifier. So to those who have Accuphase amplifiers what power cable has worked for you?
As I mentioned in other threads Accuphase strongly recommends that you use only the stock cord and so far that has been the best. The. other two have resulted in a darker sound with less soundscape openness.
I’ve been trying to stay under $500 for the cord but would be willing to go a little higher if it improves the amps performance.

@jfrmusic I have tried power cords and other cables at various price points. Unfortunately I haven’t come across any giant killers yet. As with any component or cables you have to hear it in your system to gauge the degree of improvement if any. So best to either buy used or buy new or open box with return policy. Power to your amplifier and the speaker cables are probably the two most important links in the cabling chain. I’ll be blunt. With the level of components you have I wouldn’t waste time and money looking for a miracle with $200-$500 cables from boutique manufacturers. Use stock or get the cabling that’s on the same level with the rest of your components. |
do not ever spend more than $50 for any power cable... you either keep using their stock cable or try this will not make an audible difference but will make you feel good since the cable is thick and beautiful with nice plugs. do not listen to paid-trolls who are here to promote certain ridiculously overpriced power cables from resellers. they don't even manufacture cables but buy and add 10x 20x profit to resell. accuphase produces excellent audio equipment that last decades certainly you get your money's worth. congrats!!!
