@lalitk what power cables did you try?
Help selecting a power cord.
All my gear has the factory supplied power cords I’m ready to try 1 aftermarket power cable as a test. So what brand power cable should it be and what device gets it first? Tube pre? Tube main? D/A? CD transport? Roon Nucleus? Subs? GE Trefs?? Turntable? Oppo 103? Which piece of my gear should be most affected by the improved power cord?? I look forward to the responses and will likely choose the cord that has the most recommendations.

People suggest DIY. You can try for sure but I can almost guarantee that you will not succeed. It is incredibly difficult to build a cable that sounds like a 1k cable from reputable brand like Shunyata. Cables that are much better cost way over 5k and you will notice the difference immediately. Read this and pay special attention to the last post. http://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/extra-extra-millercarbon-proven-wrong-read-all-about-it-extra-e?highlight=millercarbon&page=6 You can spend arm and leg on the cable as well but it is not likely going to be better than the one made professionally.

@lalitk I agree that there are probably good cables under 1k from many manufacturers. And that is precisely my point. DIY is not going to achieve those levels of sound quality easily. I disagree that good power cable is system dependent. If the power cable is system dependent then it has been designed to do something well and if you have the system that doesn't do that particular thing well you have a match. Otherwise you don't. The power cable doesn't make the music it allows the components to shine. |
