What's a good power cord for conrad-johnson CT5?

I use PAD Dominus Ferox on mine and I love it. Main thing was a bigger soundstage, finer detail, fuller sound and very natural/effortless...but I agree that it seemed less dependent on PC than other components. My Gryphon Antileon benefited more...better power delivery in sound...and the Zanden DAC was a night and day improvement.

Vhiner,
I'm curious that now that your CJ preamp has had a chance to break-in, which power cord did you end up using for it.

Sherod,

I have returned to the Shunyata Taipan Helix. I have not had a chance to try the many interesting suggestions on this forum. The PS Audio statement lacked the soundstage I was looking for. Virtually all of the "forward" and somewhat "harsh" sound I was getting has disappeared after more rigorous break-in of the preamp. I have a Python CX, but I can't really audition it on the preamp because, once I remove it from the DAC...all bets are off.

I wish more people locally in St. Louis stocked decent power cables for audition. The whole shipping thing is a hassle and I hate returning things that way. As I'm sure you know, some cable brands are more easily "flipped" than others.

It doesn't surprise me that you went back to the Taipan Helix. I really really liked it on my VK5i I used to have. Like you said it just opens up the soundstage.

Hi Vhiner!
I use Virtual Dynamis Master Series 3 on my CT5 with good results. Sound is more fleshy and bass more powerful and distinct but still more natural than my previous Transparent Reference PC.
Unfortunately, according to their homepage, many of their PC:s are out of production to my disapointment. I would like to purchase some more. Their concept of separate insulated conductors for live/neutral/earth makes the whole difference I believe. It also makes their PC:s more stiff and difficult to handle, especially connected to light weight components. But it´s doable cause you can bend cables to any angle.
