I wouldn't get a PC for your Ayre without a demo first. Most people feel that the stock cord is the best sounding option. For other digital components, I would consider a JPS Labs Digital AC-x. For your amp, ESP Essence and the Richard Grey PC would be good choices.
Budget Power Cords, which brand to choose?
I know budget means different things to different people, I am talking below $1000 new and $600 second hand. I also know they are very system dependent.
I use an Ayre QB9 DAC fed by a Mac Mini and NAS
TW Accustic Raven one/ortofon 309D/SPU synergy
Modwright 36.5 Pre
ARC Ref 75 Power
Daedalus DA-RMa speakers
Bybee stealth power supply
My power cables are Lessloss original and Sablon Audio and very good they are. There appears to be a number of new small companies getting good reports and reviews, particularly WyWires, Silnote and Triode Wire Labs. I already use Wywires Speaker cable and one XLR interconnect, so that may be the obvious choice. Any thoughts on these or other cheaper cables I haven't thought of? Thanks
