TG SLVR Power cord; substitute or something better

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.

Tplavas, there are significant differences with various types of silver. Classifying it as bright and hashy may be accurate for some but certainly not for all, and in my experience it can reveal harshness elsewhere in the chain. By the same token, cryo treatment is no panacea and surely some designers eschew it - Bob Crump was one of them.

I own both TG audio SLVR and the Pure Note Paragon Enhanced power cords. Both are excellent. The Pure Note is a better in the highs and are available.
