Power cord upgrade

If you just must have a high end PC, you can get one for $460 shipped new.

Voodoo cables Vision. 8 gauge OCC copper, multiple gauges, teflon dialectric. Very high end connectors. Tough outer jacket. And perhaps it’s biggest draw. It’s thick and looks cool. :). But seriously. The best copper there is with teflon dialectric. There’s really nothing better out there from a standpoint of materials and performance. And under 500 bucks. If you spend 5000 you’re wasting $4500.

@megabyte Voodoo cables Vision. 8 gauge OCC copper

This caught my eye, as I have had good luck with OCC copper cables. I could not find any reference to OCC for the Vision cables. That would be a good price if they were OCC, did I miss something?

@zlone If one simply wants the cheapest OCC cable, look no further than Audio Sensibility. You can get an OCC power cable for half that amount. This is in CDN dollars.

I apologize. I was confusing its copper with another cable. Voodoo states it’s 8 AWG, and uses silver plated high purity copper, each strand individually insulated, Teflon dialectric (the best save for air), gold plated tellurium copper hardware, copper braid shielding and cryo. Maybe I was thinking of their next level up. Still, I doubt you’re getting any better performance by spending thousands. Just my opinion though.

Frankly I’d still say it’s more than you need to spend on a power cord. But at 460 I feel like you can safely eliminate any chance you don’t have a top notch PC. Not necessary. But I don’t mind spending some more to get something very well made whether it’s audible or not. Plus, it looks cool. :) 😎

@megabyte No problem, there are so many choices it is easy to mix up the specs. 
 

I have never noticed much difference with power cables until I tried this Shunyata on my Furman PFi 20, and the Puritan that replaced it. A profound difference, not all better, in sound. Just for fun I might build a new one using Neotech OCC gear.
