TG SLVR Power cord; substitute or something better

Hi Hammerhead

thanks for the info.

are these hammerhead silver pretty stiff to work with ?

How much are they for a 5 foot powrcord ?

thanks

Nolitan,

Have you considered upgrading the AC connnectors on your TG silvers instead of changing cords? I'm not that familiar with the TG audio line, but aren't the connectors of the hospital-grade variety? A connector change could improve the overall performance of the cord without significantly altering what you already like about it.

Tplavas, the wall plug used on the SLVR is a silver plated Pass & Seymour extra-hard use spec grade unit, not hospital grade, while the IEC plug is a silver plated Schurter, I believe. Bob Crump spent many years comparing many devices and taking detailed notes, until he found the ones he liked best...he had a garage full of stuff that didn't work. That's not to say others may have other preferences in voicing, but my point is it takes a long time to find what works best, and the termination and other materials all affect the sound.

Brian,

Thanks for the information on the questions I suggested in my post. It should be helpful to all those considering the purchase of a new TG Audio cable.

Brian,

Thanks for the info on the connectors of the TG Silver. The silver-plating would probably be the reason that Tvad found the TG Silver to be bright and hashy.
I've spent the last year and a half listening to every AC connector and outlet out there, as well as having them cryo'd and listening again. I agree completely that the connectors are an integral part of the power cable, (and not just a marketing device.)
I was just wondering if perhaps instead of throwing the baby out with the bath water, that trying a different connector or two might get Nolitan where he wanted to go, and save him some money. Just trying to be helpful.
