Good power cord for Rotel?


I have a Rotel setup (RB-1080, RC-1070, RCD-1072), all new, and wanted to swap out the power cord for the amp, and perhaps the others as well, for something a little better. Don't want to break the bank. Any recommendations?

I'm an owner of Rotel equipment, and have been in tweak heaven with power cords and interconnects. They CLEARLY DO make a difference...and the difference is not a minor one!

I'm not sure what your budget is, but I would recommend the following power cables for your Rotel equipment:
Silver Audio Powerburst 2
Harmonic Technology Pro AC11
Audience Powerchord (a bit pricier, but a beautiful sounding PC regardless)

The one power cord that did not mate well with the Rotel equipment in my opinion was the Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler....I found this power cord to be a bit glaring and emphasized the fact that Rotel equipment can be a bit on the brigher side.

Hope this helps!

To answer your question, I'm not sure how a six foot cable improves the sound, but it DOES! If you want to try a cable upgrade in your system, be warned.....Be prepared to change all the cables in your system! That's what happened to me. I love the resulting improvement in sound...but my pocketbook is feeling the pain!
