Power Cable Shootout...

been there last year - a tedious tedious process. my top picks were the RSAD alethias sig, shunyata anaconda helix alpha and the lessloss PC. if it is in your price range the RSAD PCs I believe are very hard to beat for the money. they are very neutral and natural. their alethias sig to me was second to none by a very wide margin.

Voodoo cables LLC.... and Bruce does have a trial period built in... and/or an upgrade option last time I checked.

Voodoo Power cords which have both performance and value. The Gold Dragon was named power cord of the year recently, in an offshore magazine as I recall. I have two Golds, one Black, and a Tesla II as well.

The new Tesla series power cords from Synergistic Research have been getting a lot of positive accolades too since their release, the T2 & T3 respectively... and from one other member who has tried both Lessloss and the SR Tesla cords, prefered the Teslas.

Your mileage may vary though.

David Elrod makes a very special array of power cables too. I've one of his Signature series and I really enjoy what it brings to the table.

If you ever purchase cords from manufacturers with 30 day trial periods and you want to log the hours on the cords necessaary to break them in, get yourself 1 or 2 AC plug adapters so you can connect your cord(s)to a high amp appliance. For me, cords on 30 day trials get connected to a dehumidifier to break them in. Some guys connect their new cords to refrigerators, but the ac plugs for them are not so easy to access in my opinion.

By the way, why didn't you "qualify" for the Cable Company's library demo program?

Here are 6 cables I have heard in my system on my amp that you could easily do a shoot out with:

Purist Audio Dominus (Ferrox)
Stealth M5000
Lessloss
Tel Wire
Acoustic Revive
TRL (formerly CRL/FIM) Silver

The pricing varies, most are available used, some are available new with a trial period, all will have their plusses and minuses, and all results will be system dependent.

Since you have stated using this on your amp, I'd suggest a PC capable of delivering high current. Other than that have some fun with it and see what works best for you.

I'm sure others here will give you some ideas on other cables to try and you should easily come up with a list of 5 or so.
