Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier

zlone,

if you have the money the NEOTech rectangular OCC is even better than the round if you go on the NeoTech site just look up rectangular cable they have two the Amazon which is the silver rectangular OCC which is crazy expensive and the Sahara which is the copper rectangular OCC wire I upgraded my whole loom to the rectangular OCC and what a difference, but if you really want to hear the biggest difference put your speakers on Townshend podiums they stop the vibration from going back into the speaker and the improvement was mind-blowing Best upgrade I've ever done.

The most likely reason they recommend staying with the supplied PC is liability. The system has been tested / certified with that PC, and no others.

The only time I've heard a really noticeable improvement in power cables is adding a used 20 amp Voodoo Infinity to my T+A integrated. Half price at $575. 

Either use thecableco.com or buy used and resell if you don't like it.

- That is correct, when I was in the business, years ago I sold high end electronics and after market power cords where only being produced by a couple dozen providers. We had this exact conversation back then. The three electronic companies I represented all provided UL approved cords only. It had to say that on the cord for the companies protection.

I bought a voodoo black magic PC for $325. Can’t hear a difference. But it looks cool so why not, kept it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Actually Accuphase documentation is pretty strongly worded. It has a Warning that states use of aftermarket power cords are Prohibited.
