choosing Power Cords for Vitus SM-101

@Denon1, thanks for that. I'll bat on. Cheers.

@Bo1, that's the most shameless commercial advertisement i've ever seen and a disgraceful breach of Audiogon's TOS.

@Bo1, so you're a shill and you admit it. Good for you...

Bo1, Siltech cables are not "inferior". They have excellent build quality, extremely pure metalurgy which does not degrade & are designed using the same computer software Porsche use to design their cars. Those are some of the reasons Siltech cables maintain high resale value. The problem is, cheap knock off's are giving them a bad reputation. There is no such thing as "best" cables, only the best in synergy with your system and budget.

Get the Vitus Andromeda pcs as recommended by the factory.

The Andromeda pc is quite good & works well with Vitus amps, however I a-b tested the Andromeda pc which came with my Vitus SIA-025 vs a Jorma Prime pc I had on hand, and the Jorma proved to be more sophisticated, richer sounding and more resolving. It was a very obvious improvement. I even preferred my Jorma Unity pc which is now doing duties with my Oppo 103AU. The Andromeda pc is back in the box.

The Siltech G7 Ruby Mountain II is a slight step up in price from Jorma Prime and is also an excellent match with Vitus amps. They offer wide bandwidth and are very quiet. In terms of differences I would say Jorma Prime is a bit more 'delicate', whilst Siltech has more bass. Though Prime still has excellent control in the bass. So it depends on your taste and what sound you're looking for. Jorma offers good value for money imho (atleast in Australia) which helped push me over the line and go with Jorma.

Bo1, PAD cables sound warm and have good bass, but are on the dark side of neutral which doesn't suit every system. Also, their higher end cables are unwieldly, heavy and difficult to accommodate in a tight space. That is why I said there is no such thing as "best", only what is best for synergy in your system. I am not a Siltech fanboi, but I stand by my comments.

As far as my personal preference with cables go, I use Jorma Prime xlr's & pc's & Jorma Statement sc's in my system which sound natural/organic, resolving, harmonically rich & are excellent value (atleast in Australia). They work extremely well in the context of MY system. Each to their own.

Btw, you may enjoy "outperforming competitors" and "always want to win", but I have to say based on your responses in this thread, you may end up being a very lonely person.
