@macg19 have you seen Accuphase high grade power cables?
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 great, your system at y9our usage mode is not sensitive to power connection resistance increase! Surge protection (xtra) is good, I’ve seen damaged equipment w/o it! enjoy the music! |
@duketbrd88 I think you are good! Enjoi Accuphase sound! |
my A48 Accuphase stock PC is heavy, ~12mm diam, 2m long. Cable with plugs measures 20mOhms, which is very low, comparing to other AC circuit elements, transformer alone is about 20 Ohms. Home pwr wiring has resistance btw 3..8mOhms/meter. Lower AC power resistance improves IR drop, and SN + dyn range at the end. |
@duketbrd88 congrats with very nice Accu integrated!
-before using power conditioner, have you tried to pluf it into wall outlet directly? I have Accuphase pre and PA, and found as Accuphase is the best on SN ratio among many other devices I tried.
I would keep Accuphase original cords, cuse terminations match receptacle in terms of contact quality, plating metals etc. Your E-5000 during production was tested at Accuphase lab with original cords, and all test data is storied for years there. |
