Please don't waste your money on Nordost power cords at that price level you will not hear any difference, Nordost begins at Vahalla 2 and through the Odin line which is not in the same price range. I have personally demo'd every Nordost cable on my system. Also I agree with a lot of the others if you can the best way is to borrow them from a an authorized audio store and hear them yourself on your system, listening to them in stores is a waste. You need to hear it yourself on your system not components that are not yours, in rooms that are not yours.
Good luck if you find the right cable power cords can make a huge difference but you must find the right cable.

Hello, (this is an update to my previous response on power cable options. I've added another source for raw cable/connectors. A few other responses suggest "...build your own...". I prefer to add a few source websites to that suggestion so that you can further research the diy option). I'm a DIY'er and prefer to assemble my own cables. Using this option allows one to assemble high end audiophile cables at a 50/70% savings vs the same ready made cable(s). Another benefit is making them the length that is needed. Here are my primary sources for raw cable and various terminal ends.
If you have not yet diy'd cables there are several videos that serve as tutorials/guides. No special tools or soldering needed, just good quality wire cutters, wire strippers, Phillips screwdriver, heat shrink tubing (various colors to give the cables your "signature"look) and a heat gun. Take your time and you will produce cables you can be proud of. Oh and the bank that you save can be invested toward other elements of your rig. Enjoy |
