Power Cords--Your Preference?


spending a lot of time auditioning power cords---this is what I currently know---I seem to prefer the Kimber Palladian PK 10 to just about anything else I've heard---my Cardas Golden Reference was not even in the running.

Would be interested to hear your feedback about your favorite power cables----also, yet to find anything for CD player that improves the sound--even Palladian seemed a bit too much for CD and better suited to my PRE or Power Amp--- all CJ equipment. Thoughts?

Thanks ZMan and Foster_9. Foster What kind of amp did you have the MAC Burly connected to? I'm wondering if the Burly is better suited to SS gear rather than Tube gear.
Try Triode Wire Labs (TWL). They are easily the most natural sounding pc's I have ever heard, and I have tried quite a few reasonably priced cords ... CD transports and processors are especially appreciative of them as are most anything solid state. My CJ tube amp loves them too. Pete is also a great guy to work with. Good luck. PS I agree the stock cords with most amps are such throwaways...
ps audio power cords have done me right. currently have 2 ac-10's, 2 ac-5's and one ac-3 (on my sub) and am very happy with them.
I have been playing with different PC's since the Electraglide FatMan days. My current faves are the Nordost Valhalla and LessLoss Sig PC's. But I also have some older tried and true champions - the Elrod EPS and Statement series (the latter is the size of an anaconda), and the very fine Kimber Palladium. All provide a different "sound" and can only be selected if they match up with your specific component and what you are trying to accomplish. For example, the Valhalla is excellent as the cable from the wall to power conditioner, while I like the LessLoss Sig on my pre. The Elrods EPS2's have uniformly been my favorites on digital components.

Don't know if this helps or confuses the issue, but there you are.

I've been delighted with Mojo's XPC-5 PC..Introducing this cord to my Hybrid Amplifier was every bit as significant as a major component up-grade..You've got to go through the agony of burn-in but it's well worth it when all is said and done.
I believe Mojo has since brought out an even more delicious PC since my purchase..but I don't have any detail or info on it...All I can report to you is that this cable finally let me hear everything that is good about my system and much deeper into the music...Very nice product....There's so many really good cables on the market now I'ts getting harder and harder to make a decision.

Good hunting!!
