Newbie Power Cord Question

.

Hi Jimyork... I agree about the VD Nite, an excellent price to performance used... however, its stiffness and weight might be issues for our Newbie... these issues are no small matter!

:)

I also agree with the SR AC MasterCoupler suggestion... that PC is not only a classic with outstanding price to performance but it's a easier to manipulate than the Nite...

:) listening,

Ed

Hi Ed,
The Nite is stiff but adjustable to any set-up required. The weight can be a problem when you have your equipment mounted in high position with no support for the cable and you are using it on a very light piece of equipment - less than 10 pounds.

Enjoy,
Jim

I'd also recommend the Virtual Dynamics. Another high performance/low cost product is a DIY cord made from Cryo-Parts ACIII cord and Furutech or Oyaide connectors. I find that the Cryo-Parts cord performs extremely well. I was shocked at how much better it was than any of the "flavors" of the VenHaus cords (in my system.)

If you purchase a new power cord for $200 and you get a $200 power cord.

If you purchase a used power cord for $200, you should get a power cord that probably would have sold new for $400! I would try to get a better value by buying a used power cable within your budget.

There is a Nordost Shiva power cord for sale on audiogon for $199 OBO. The Shiva is a very dynamic power cord in it's price range.
