Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier

“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. 

I tend to look at it from this point of view. We all know you can’t listen to a power cord, but of course, you can listen to how your system sounds with different power cords. So from now on when I talk about how power cords sound, you should know I’m really talking about how it effects the sound in my system. That said, I’m currently using a full loom of Audio Envy Ocean-Expanded power cords in my modest system.

To anyone:

First of all, can anyone tell how the good power cable is better than not-so-good cable, in terms of scientific description? (rather than "feeling better, ...", "just really better")

If you are not old (younger than 50 years old), then you can tell some subtle sonic differences changing some gears including cables. But, BUT, if you old or older than 50, most of you cannot hear very subtle changes because your hearing sense have become weakened by the nature of living creature!

Please, do not try to think that "this expensive one should improve my system, because it is expensive, I don't know the mechanism, but they must make well."

Many people say "only trust your ear". Both true and not true. Anyway I do not waste my money for the any company who sells unnecessarily expensive stuff. 

Unnecessarily expensive stuff? One example = power cable of $100 or higher price.

@r27…

I’m old. I can’t hear what you’re saying. Sorry but I’m weakened by the nature of living creature!
