HCM Audio has been running a special on AudioQuest power cords, plus another brand, for some months. I bought 3 of the AQ AC15-1.6 H/S models (these have the Hubbell male plug with the Schurter IEC female at the other end), as replacements cords for my Bryston preamp and power amps. I ordered all 3 cords with pairs of AQ's ferrites, which reduce RFI and EMI. The build quality on these cords is very good, and they cost $50-75 each, depending on length. I honestly can't say that I heard much difference, but I am also told that the Bryston amps seem to benefit less from upgraded power cords. However, if you want to experiment with decent cords without a large dollar investment, check out the power cord specials on HCM's web site: www.hcmaudio.com
Best Budget power Cords
I was wondering if the budget power cords out there are better then the stock cords that come with gear. I own a MF A300 int. amp. and MF A3CD player, and am thinking that upgrading the power cords would be my next step in the quest for the best sound. Any help would be appreciated. Thx..
