Class D and Power Cables


I just put a new pair of W4S Class D monoblocks in my system. So far, I'm very pleased with the result. Now that I know I'm going to listen to them for awhile, I'm starting to consider power cords. But, I started thinking. Does a power cord actually make a difference with these new digital Class D amps? Before I run out and spend a few hunderd on power cables, I was hopoing some of you fellow Agoners could give me some input/experiences. Thanks in advnace.

Absolutely, they all sound different... some are brighter, some are darker, some have more bass and/or a better midrange. So the "perfect cord" for one system/amplifier might not be a good match for another. That's what makes it tricky.

If you like a warm sweet sound with good bass the Mojo Audio Enigma series cords worked well for me when I owned the W4S STI-500 amp. Happy Hunting.
Why not try Wyred's own Ultra Power Cable? A 1 meter cord is 119.00 and a 1.5 meter cord is only 139.00. Plus, it's the cord that Wyred recommends for it's products. You really have nothing to lose as you can always sell it here for almost what you paid for it.
Teletrout, I must correct you on part of your post.

"Does a power cord actually make a difference with these new digital Class D amps?"

Class D Amps ARE NOT DIGITAL. They are analog. The D has nothing to do with them being digital.

As far as power cords go for Class D amps. They can make a difference. It depends on the amp and the power cord.

Merrill Audio includes a power cord that they know will work well with and show how great their amp can sound. But there are other power cords that should bring even better sound to Merrill Audio Amps. Also there are several others that have included a quality power cord with their amps.

And as Plato mentions depending on the rest of your system and tastes you might like one cord over another.

But you still need to find a power cord that works well with your amp, as some will just rob the life out of it.
Yes Indeed! I just bought a 6 ft pr of Cullen Crossover PC's.
Never heard my tube amp sound so good. music comes from a "black" dead quite background right out of the box.
Better than my Pangea 9, Zu, Harmonic Tech 11's, Acoustic Zen Tsunami and MAC HC . Not by a little either.
