Advice on power cables

I own the following system:

VPI scout
Lyra Dorian
Wadia 12
CEC TL51x
Symphonic Line La Musica
Impulse Aria SE
Cardas Hexlink 5C
Cardas Golden five
Wireworld Atlantis 5

But I still use the standard power cables. I have a NBS dragonfly on borrow from a shop for my DAC and it is a improvement I also have borrowed a DCCA ref master that someone is selling 2nd hand I have the DCCA on my amp now. The NBS costs about 225€ and the DCCA 500€.

But there are so many brands out there so where else but DCCA and NBS should I look for power cables that don't break the bank. The DCCA is a real good cable, but I am not sure if it is worth the 500€ that he is asking for it. For that money I can buy 2 dragonfly's.

I am only interested in brands that are readily availble in Europe, the Netherlands.

Would a power cable do anything with a VPI scout?

Hi,

Indeed, ignore all the advice. Only try by your self.
With the NBS you found already an exceptional cable.
Most other cables in this price range do nothing good! There are so many brands on the market but only a few good ones and it gets harder to find them.

There is also a NBS MineSerpent-III which costs I think less then twice the DragonFly. But 2 DragonFly's do more then one MS. It's a matter of budget you like to spend.
But do not only look at the money, buy what you like.

Have fun.
