Hello, and I hope you are well. You have a nice system. I would go to Amazon and purchase power cables (brand is Preffair and visit their site) for your amp and subwoofers. I am not affiliated with this power cord company or Amazon. I did build power cords, as it is not difficult, but time consuming. After the price of connectors, good cable by the foot/meter, and the dressing.....you are way beyond these Amazon prices. Your factory power cables are "bottlenecks" to the full capability of the components. 10 gauge cords, will make a huge upgrade. A nice "intro" to the power cord thing. You can select the plug material coating and the specific plug housing you want. I use the Alloy shells with the Rhodium plugs, which sound a bit more extended in the treble compared to the copper plugs, ime. I talked about these before here, and a few folks contacted me thanking me. Someone did not like them, as they were using much more expensive brands. Hope you try, at least one, for your amp. My best, MrD.
Do I need upgraded power cables?
Hello and Good Day
I'm wondering about power conditioners and power cords. Here's my equipment:
Cronus Magnum lll Integrated Tube Amp / Focal Aria 948 DW Speakers / Kimber Kable 8TC Speaker Cables / 2 SVS SB2000 Pro A Subwoofers with SVS Sound Path Subwoofer Cables / Grado Sonata Cartridge / Pro-Ject 2 Xperience SB DC Turntable using the included interconnects / Denon DCD 1700NE CD Player using Kimber Sliver Streak Interconnect / Panamax MR4300 Power Line conditioner and surge protection
Upgrade the Panamax? - is it providing anything besides surge protection? Upgrade the power cords for which component? Or do nothing? Maybe my components aren't audiophile enough to justify purchasing upgraded power cords.
Any advise or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank you
Bill
