Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier

@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.
Stock cords don’t kill the musical enjoyment and there’s no shame in using stock cables, but they can be improved upon.

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.

@jfrmusic 

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!!!

Wait until your Amp has surpasses the 300 hours mark. Then, start testing other Power Cords (PC). The stock PC is no slouch.

Happy Listening!

Triode Wire Labs makes well made, reasonably priced cables.

@lalitk stated "I will check out Audio Envy and Zavfino."

FYI - I do not have experience with Zafino, but I have owned a couple of Audio Envy power chords.  

IMO, the AE power chords were poorly designed, poorly constructed and actually sounded worse than my black stock chords..  They are in a box in my garage wait for a new home - FREE, but no takers so far...
