ARC Ref 3 Power Cord

I looked up the very expensive prices on some of the power cords recommended. I am still wondering if there is someone out there using a Signal Magic power cord on their ARC REF 3. They also offer a Silver Resolution Reference power cord. I wonder what more that one could do compared to their standard power cord. Can someone tell me the length of the stock cord that comes with the REF 3. The back of my system is so cramped that I don't want to trying gettin' back there.

That Signal cable is below what the REF3 deserves. You have spent the money on a fine pre-amp and need to support it with a good cable. I would likely just stick with the stock cable over buying a cord in that price range.

ARC gear is voiced using Shunyata Anaconda Helix Alpha power cords. This is what I got when I bought Ref 3. I have tried several other PCs since, but still have the Anacondas.

I am very interested as to how you know that ARC gear is voiced using Shunyata Anaconda Helix Alpha power cords. Can you elaborate please.

Give Leonard a call at ARC. He told me that the stock ARC power cords are really good and they also use the snake cords with their equipment in-house. There seemed to be some preferences in which of the none-stock oily cords they preferred with different ARC equipment. Oneobgyn, the SR power cords may be a good fit for your system, give them a try and let us know.
