Good $250 Power Cord

concierto cables used might fall near $300. they not only sound great, they are user friendly - they flex well like the audience, but sound more full.

Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated!

A neutral cable with speed, clarity and dynamics.

Thanks,

From that description, and your financial limits, I'd recommend looking for a Fusion Enchanter or Impulse, Nordost Shiva or Vishnu. You may also want to listen to Electraglide, Audio Horizons Transparency, Shunyata Taipan or Ridge Street Poiema power cords. These could be availible used in your price range. All of these I've found to be very nuetral, fast and clear.

From my experiences, power and dynamics don't go hand in hand with speed/clarity, especially at lower price points. That's why I asked for your preferences. You could get better dynamics with your wish for speed and clarity, but IMHO you'd have to spend over $1K on the used market. The Stealth Dream has great dynamics, speed and clarity, but is well above your $250 price point.

Cheers,

Check out PS audio power punch cables. Way under $250.00 and add nothing nor take anything away from the sound.
