AC cords for Hegel H390 that do not color sound?


I enjoy the sonic attributes of my Hegel H390.

Power cords I’ve tried in the past have brought improvements over the stock cable but at the cost of brightening or darkening the amp’s tonality.

If you are able to suggest cable brands/models in the 1 - 1.5 K range that are more transparent, please do so.

Thanks!

If still looking for an "uncolored" power cord for your H390, consider a Shunyata Alpha EF v1 (no conditioning, all copper/no silver).  Should be in your price range.  I'm using one on my H390.  Uncolored?  Kind of a Zen question...hard for me to answer for you (or for myself, for that matter).  

The Alpha NR I have did take some time to break in...lose the edge, open up and gain some body.  Don't recall that being the case with the used Alpha EF, however patience to allow a good amount of time for settling in is always advisable.

You are very welcome, of course, @stuartk 

I had thought about a PS re what this cable has going for it.  

Doing so here: AWG, geometry, metal quality and I've bought into Caelin Gabriel's instantaneous current delivery mantra.  FWIW.  

I do not like, however, what their NR tech seems to do on power amps, hence the EF here.

If you insist, get an AXXESS cable (from Audio Group Denmark).

1000 - 385 = 615 USD savings.

 

 

You have other problems in life you should focus on perhaps....like what to do about your wimpy li'l speakers, no subs, a big red couch between you and your speaker (?!?!), etc...

A power cable coloring/non-coloring your sound should be the very least of your concerns.
