@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.

Power cord upgrade
I want to upgrade power cords for my streamer, Aurender A15 which currently has a Shunyata v14 digital.
And Puritan 156 which has the classic cord it comes with.
I believe in system synergy, so I am leaning towards Transparent, and/or Audioquest.
I have ARC ref5se with the Transparent Reference, and ref75se with the AQ Hurricane.
Guess my thought is the streamer and 156 PC are maybe a bottleneck. Won't know without trying, right? I am satisfied with the over all sound now, so looking for more of it. Make any sense??

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. |
@mclinnguy Thanks, Audio Sensibility is on my list.Very fair prices and it looks like decent gear. |
