ARC Ref 3 Power Cord


Hi, I was wondering if anyone has replace the stock power cord for the Arc Ref 3 with some other power cord and has found it to improve the preamps performance? I have replaced the power cords on most of my other components and I am thinking of doing the same with the Ref 3. If so, is there anything good out there without spending an arm and a leg on?

Hi good day, my recommendation is: 1 Purist 20 Anniversary, or as a cheaper option Purist Aqueous 20 Anniversary.
Good luck

Everyone here is using a different PC and some are relatively expensive. Why? What difference did these quite different cords make over the stock ARC cord which is quite substantially made? Did you purchase these cords for evaluation specifically with the Ref 3, or were they left over from previous uses? My only complaint about the stock cord is its excessive length in my application.
I use the Purist 20th Anniversary Contego Power Cord. I have compared it against the Stealth Dream, the Shunyata Anaconda Alpha Helix and the stock AR cord. My amps are the Lamm Ref 1.2 monoblocks. In my system, the Purist is a slight flavor improvement against the Stealth and Shunyata, and a significant across-the-board improvement against the stock cord. If you are using a Ref 3, you owe it to yourself to audition as many PC's as possible. These PC's are not cheap, but do make a difference. Just my opinion.
