Best power cords for b&K gear

If I read your post correctly, you are planning to spend about 30% of the cost of
your amp and preamp on power cords. IMHO, I wouldn't spend that much on
power cord. I don't think you would hear much difference if any. I would just
use the stocked cords and save up the money for other upgrades. It would be
much more cost effective.

Another angle to look at. I once had to send my pre-amp and monoblocks ($11,000.00) in for servicing. I brought out my old B&K PT-3 tuner/pre-amp and ST1400 Mk 2 amp and stuck them in the system until my main pieces were returned.

I used the stock power cords since the PT-3 has the little whatchamacallit connection. I had very expensive interconnects, Stealth Indra's, in my system, and of course used them on the B&K pre-amp and amp. The sound was amazing! I could have lived with that system had I not had the other pieces.

You might consider taking your $650.00 and buying the best used set of interconnects that you can, and then upgrade your power cords later.

This Supra Sword interconnect is fantastic, and only $475.00 http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ddcablintr&1246809816&/Supra-sword--Award-Winning--no
