Power cable question.

Aftermarket cords do not necessarily produce better sound than OEM, which is strong evidence of their utter system and component dependency. Do you think your amp would be able to take advantage of the more expensive cable, assuming the quality of sound it can provide is simply increased, compared to the opportunity cost of other upgrades? How much do reviews of cords w/ non-Jolida amps tell you? The easiest way is to experiment yourself. There is buy/sell used, and fatwyre.com :

See the cable shootout in Bound for Sound two issues back. quite a few cords compared. TG Audio cord won for most applications - line-level. Around $400.

Do a search on this site under power cables for an ad titled "Custom Made TPC-REFERENCE Power Cord-6 Ft" This is an outstanding power cable.

I have used NBS Statement, Custom Power Top Gun HCFI and Siltech Ruby Hill but changed with Burmester 2.5 Power Cord for all the front end. It may not be better but I could not hear the difference between all of them and that means it is better because it cost much less.

However, the best is probably the Custom Power Top Gun HCFI for the amp and preamp. Nothing beats it so far.

I have yet to find a power cord that sound better than the cord that came with my McCormack DNA-2 deluxe.
