Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?
I have Accuphase E5000 plugged into my Equitech son of q jr. balanced power supply. Sounds great and I have had the Equitech for a good 15 years now. Everything is dead quiet, not even a hiss coming from the system. Just started thinking about power cords and if it is worth it, I’m in the U.S., if that matters. Thanks
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this...
Duketbrd88, You have a $19,000 integrated amp, do yourself a favor and get a decent cord.....you have a bunch of really good recommendations here, some only $400 or so. Zavfino Majestic and Prima have been suggested a bunch, as have Anti-Cables Level 3; I own both and can highly recommend....all $350 to $550 |
Duketbrd88, I use and can highly recommend a couple of Zavfino power cords: Majestic MKII and the Prima MKII, both OCC copper cords.....cryo treated, and broken in to an extent. The Prima MKII is taking longer to break in, the Majestic needed about 100 hours, but the Prima is on 200 hours and still improving....both would be great for an amp. Also would recommend upgrading your power receptacles if you have not done so already: Furutech GTX-D(G-Gold), Furutech GTX-D(R-Rhodium), or the Oyaide R1.....I prefer the GTX-D(G) and the Oyaide R1.....but several others have disagreed, and strongly support the GTX-D(R) |
Dukebrd88, These are the cables I can recommend, also a bunch of DIY.....but I'll only recommend these. The Zavfino models I use are the Majestic and Prima, the Majestic needs about 100 hours to settle in, the Prima about 150 hours. Zavfino cables are OCC copper and Cryo treated, the Anti-Cables are OFC but rather large 8 gauge.
