Best power cable for levinon no 336?

I use Synergistic Research cables with my Levinson with excellent results. There is a way to change the powercord on your 336. You will have to cut the powercord off at about 8 inches. Then attach a male IEC connection. Nw you can plug a power cord in! This works very well, I owned a 336 at one time and modified it in this way. You could also remove the cover, find the taps where the current power cable is attached, cut off the end of the power cable you want to use and wire it direct. However I believe the first method would be the best.
Hope this helps!

that may may re-sale difficult
i wonder if swapping out the stock power cord makes such a large differenc in the 336
you would think madrigal would allow it to be swapped if they thought so!

Those are good points, especially about the resale. However all their new amps except the 33h now have detachable powercords. I own 436 amps which are monoblocks in the same powerrange as the 336, and the type of powercords used does make a difference. Some people might be relieved that they can update the powercord if you make the mod.

One could just open the 336, take loose the powercord by unscrewing it from the taps, buy about a foot of 10 guage stranded, flexible wire at Home Depot (I've used this for power cords and it sounds very good), connect it inside the amp, (be sure to note which taps the orginal wires (hot, nuetral, and ground, and draw a picture where they are all connected) , add the male IEC to the other end, and then you can experiment with other powercords to you ears' content. If you decide to sell the amp you can always reattach everything as before and your 336 would be "stock".
I would only attempt this if you have basic wiring skills or a friend familiar with electrical connections. As I recall once you have the cover off the 336, the powercord connections are really straight forward requiring average technical skill, but be sure to sketch the wiring arrangement so there is no doubt where to reattach everything when you get done.
Enjoy,

Dp37,

There's lots of snake-oil out there when it comes to cables. Ask yourself what's been run inside your sheet-rock walls, out to the step-down transformer, miles upon miles of "unshielded" KV wiring, through switching yards, all the way back to the generating stations. Where's all this cable technology being utilized there? Can anyone honestly tell me how a three foot aftermarket cable, costing hundreds to thousands of dollars, can make a difference? Oh, and someone with substantial electronics background, including R.F. knowledge.

When my co-workers and I read some of these manufacturing/marketing claims, with each of us having 30 years experience in electronics, just laugh our heads off. Please readers...buyer beware. Find a way to aquire several ot these so-called Audiophile cables, do some kind of blind A-B-C testing, and don't be steered by ego or written claims during audition.

i am wondering if a better investment may be one of the power conditioners
i am considering products from ps audio and the "hydra" series from shunyata

any thoughts on these from users?
