Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs?


I'm thinking of giving these a try as I'm still using stock power cords (I know, I know). I'm sure there will be an improvement but wondering if anyone has tried these and how they may compare to some other PCs out there. As always, thanks for thoughts.

Soix, I'm using a Lorad 2.5 attached to my Rowland model 8. It's an excellent power cord and far superior to the Shunyata Diamondback that I was using before. However,I do think it is important to use a better plug than what Supra offers...in my case, i am using the Wattgate plugs.
Soix, my Rowland puts out 250 watts/ch. Can do 25 watts/ch pure class A and therefore it draws.. the Lorad works VERY well with this amp ( make sure you get the Lorad 2.5 and NOT the smaller version). BTW, the amp needs a 20 amp iec and the Wattgate that I use is the same model that Nordost uses on their Brahma.
Soix, I haven't tried the Lorad on any other component. All of my other gear uses 15 amp iec's and I have dedicated power cords for those pieces.
Compared to the Diamondback, the Lorad was a lot quieter and seemed to bring the bottom end to life more with a clarity that the Diamondback couldn't match. Compared to stock, that's where the dividends really came into play, a nice improvement across the board.
Agisthos, IF you are using the Supra connector's you haven't heard this cable, IMHO. The standard connector's are garbage compared to the Wattgate's or Furutech's. Try the Supra with Wattgate's and then get back to us.
Mik971, I would suggest the Wattgate plugs. Check their website and go with the best that you can afford.
