recommendation for power cables for Gryphon amp

I Think the cables for the Isoclean Super focus sound ok on the Gryphon amp.However I am having a serious problem finding the right power cables for my main amps in my main system.The configuration is as follows,one PC from the preamp to the German Physics X-Over,sound independent of that PC,from the X-Over to 2 mono amps YBA passion 1000 for above 180hz, and 2
mono amps NEMO Electrocompanient for the low frequency ,less than 180 Hz.My main problem is with PC for the Nemos,when I use the Virtual Dynamics Reference I get way too much bass,muddy bass.That was no good,so I am now trying the PS Audio PC-12,better than the VD but not as good as a stock cable.Any ideas,please help.

Hi Ramy,

Sorry to hear of your challenges. I am no expert, but i have had my share of "challenges" over the years with integrating a new component/cable into the system. There are (at least) two possibilities here:

1. the VDR is balanced to have more bass, or is not a good match with the Nemo...and you need to find a better match to demonstrate the Nemo's evident capabilities.

You may find old reviews about Nemo (i literally have read every single article on every single component i own or have seriously auditioned...just to pick up any experiences from reviewers about speaker placement, odd mis-matches with cables, etc).

2. On the other hand, it might be that the cable is allowing more power thru the Nemo...and the Nemo is responding with far great weight/impact...and your speakers perhaps need to be repositioned for this. i do not know your speakers...but your post makes me wonder. If you are hearing "too much bass" (and if you think the VDR is suppposed to be a reasonably balanced cable)...perhaps you need to reposition your speakers (ie, further from wall, further apart, watch side walls...all the things that can make a speaker "boomy or muddy" in the bass).

The reason i suspect either option is because you say the stock cable is better than VDR. Some stock cables are truly excellent, and some manufacturers select their stock cables very carefully...but generally i have found if you get a high quality cable, you will hear certain improvements...not necessarily worth the money, not even necessarily all good (ie, mis-matches in cable/equipment) but given your lack of success in finding any cable to improve the stock cable, i do wonder about that.

my 2 cents. pls post back and let us know how the PS cable works out. good luck.
