Cable Synergy


I'm hoping to purchase a Ps Audio power plant. Is a Ps Audio power cord a must, or would Signal Cable be just fine. I love the prices on Frank's products and have been satisfied with them as well. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

i own a ps audio p300. i have tried many line cords and settled on the original lab cord. yes it is heavy, about 4 or 6 gauge, but i like its performance.
Thanks all. Mrtennis, I have a chance to get a labII, what do you think? Zar.
mrtennis, so happens there are two lab's for sale at 375.00 total for both. In this scnario I guess I would hook the power amp and Power Plant up with the Labs into the dedicated 20 amp line I would then use my Signal Cable power cord for the pre -amp to Power plant connection. What do you think? Thanks, Mark
Zar, how powerful is your amp? Unless it's 500wpc or more, and your speakers are very inefficient, I can't recommend the lab for it. While these mega-gauge pc's do help mitigate the damage done by powerline filters; they really do unbalance the natural dynamic relationships of the music when used 'straight to the wall'. They can sound quite alluring in your typical high-end system, which tends to be quite forward in the upper-bass and mids, but once you've sacrificed organic dynamics, there's no retrieving them.
Power cables are the first 'link in the chain', so any damage done there is very hard to correct.
If it were I, I'd look at pc's no heavier than 10 gauge for your amp, and maybe closer to 11-12 gauge if it's under 200 wpc.
Of course and as always; IMO.
