AC Power Cord and Krell Pre

Many manuals say many different things, whether you agree with the manufacturer is up to you. For instance, I am a fan of tube gear, and my manual says that the best tubes are sourced from the manufacturer of said gear, which are modern day hand picked Chinese tubes. I have found that NOS tubes from Holland, Great Britain and the USA sound better than hand picked modern Chinese tubes.

There is no answer to your question if you do not want to experiment. If you choose to believe Krell, and use the supplied cord, you will be happy. However, you will never know whether a MIT or Transparent cord would improve the sound if you do not try one.....in your own room using your own ears.

FWIW, IMHO the power cord makes a bigger difference sonically than either the interconnect or speaker cable. Unfortunately, there is no one cord that is all things to all people on all systems.....it's all about synergy and personal taste.

Cheers,
John

kusina, I used a Transparent on my 202 and loved it, but please do your self a favor and try some different brands from Robert Stein at the Cable Company.

Thanks to John and Dave. I will do as they suggest -- that is, experiment. I'll start with a Nordost Brahma PC now connected to an FM tuner, then go to an Electroglide Epiphany XG (G is for grounded) now reposing in a box, and then try others, probably through the Cable Company.
