I tried the $1,000.00 Audioquest power cable on my DAC and it distorted the bass terribly. I opted for a Cullen Crossover at a fraction of the price of the Audioquest. But from what your describing, I would recommend auditioning the Akiko Audio power conditioners. The big one is called the Corelli Corundum and then there’s a smaller one called the Castello and yet an even smaller one called the Minelli.
Front Row Seat Power Cord?
I’m looking for a quality power cord that tends to create a perspective that is more “front row” than “mid-hall”, without being thin or overly bright. I’ve been looking at reviews, and the two that seem to pop up in this regard are the DH Labs Red Wave, and the Purist Audio Jade. Any other ideas?
