Conrad Johnson 17LS Power Cord Recommendations

I just added a CJ 17LS pre to my system and wondering if anyone can offer their recommendation/experience on which power cables match up well with the unit.

I currently have the unit hooked up with a Signal Cable power cable and the rest of the system is a combination of Signal Cable and Harmonic Technology power cables. All the interconnects and speaker cables are Harmonic Tech.

The unit is sounding a little "restricted".

As always - thanks for the help.

I tried several power cords, up to a thousand dollars, and couldn't find improvement so I kept the stock cord. However, I can highly recommend playing with the tubes.

Nice linestage! I thought the 17LS put you in a seat a little further back in the hall. The music is all there, it just seems farther away than, say, through a 16LS. I found Shunyata opened up the presentation.

Thanks for the response. What Shunyata model were you using?

Hello,

I'm using CJ ACT-2 MKII with Bmi Oceanic Statement power cord with wonderful!!! results, very expensive but it is easily the BEST! power cord that I'll have ever tried on my preamp. Also I'll recommend Electraglide Genghis Khan (if you can find one) and FIM Gold power cord's with excellent! results as well. Hope this help.

Regards.
Bernie
