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.

Yep - I work with medical devices made in Japan and the USA - things do get lost in translation each way. 

“Once the amplifier is broken in I do plan to try a few with the Cable Company which is near me. ”

I suspect a sub $500 power cord will yield a meaningful upgrade. Given your system, you would need to look beyond your budget. I am sure you know the importance of a good PC on Integrated which happens to draw the most current and heart of your system. Either stick with stock cord or go all out…just don’t half-ass it (no pun intended).

Yes I agreed with you. The challenge is there are many excellent choices so not sure to start especially if I go all out for example up to 2k.
