Power cords do make a huge difference with the 861. When I had the 861 I had tested some cords and the Shunyata King Cobra V2 was top. Later I used the successor of the King Cobra V2, the Anaconda vX with my Wadia 27ix. These cords give you a big and detailed soundstage plus musical warmth. A great match with Wadia and worth the investment, especially if your system - like most - benefits of some additional warmth. If your system already is very musical and warm sounding you can have even more detail and speed with an Electraglide Genghis Khan instead.
Power cords for Wadia 861
Does anyone have any first-hand experience experimenting with power cords for, say, a Wadia 861 or 301?
Wadia's folks suggest in the owners manuals that people use the stock cord, but it wasn't that long ago that people at Rowland, Audio Research and other high-end audio companies would give you a blank stare if you asked them about after-market power cords for their equipment.
I'm not looking to experiment with a dozen cords, nor do I plan to spend thousands of dollars. I'm just wondering if anyone has found 1.) that they help the Wadia as much as some cords help some other components; and, 2.) is there a really great synergy with a particular cord? Thanks. -- Ron
