Just read Michael Fremer's latest column in Stereophile magazine. The Audioquest latest upper level power cords are the way to go. Starting at $650 for a one meter lemgth. Although I am still using the prior models, the NRG 10's some NTG 100's plus one NRG 1000, I have found them to be far superior to equally priced Shunyata. Anyway, with the addition of two Audioquest Niagara 1000's, my audio systems never sounded beter. Using an Audio Research LS27 for the verycnter of my dual-speaker based as well as seperate, but still connected hedphone systems, I an mostcertainly say that the choice of power cords used maked a huge difference. I myself just wish I had an extra $1300 to purchase a couple of the latest power cords to replace my current ones. Also note even the prior better Audioquest power cords rsrely come up used for sale. Maybe now with the latest power cords coming they might start appearing. At a used price they would be true bargins if one can not afford the latest ones.
AC Power cable for ARC Ref 5 se.
I recently purchased a ARC Ref 5se and i heard that changing the power cord makes a difference in better sound. Can anyone recommend some power cords that they changed with their 5se? Also changing the fuse? Thanks
