I appreciate the advice to try taking a DIY approach to power cables. The task only requires stripping three wires, inserting them into the connectors and screwing down the wires. You can decide whether you want any fancy jacketing. The sense of control in the design lets you get maximum value for your investment and get better quality wire and components. It's sweat equity.
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
