Looking at AQ NRG-Y3 for parasound A21 amp....


I am thinking about taking the leap into Power Cables. I am told that it would “Greatly” enhance the sound quality of my stereo. Therefore, I am going to start off small and budget around $150. I am looking at the Audioquest NRG-Y3. My only concern is when I read the box, it states that it helps source components.
Will this provide a better sound on my Parasound A21 Amp. Will enough current pass. Is it a “Huge” improvement over a stock power cable. Any info is greatly appreciated!

thanks,

I have used Signal Cables before and now use Audioquest. The new AQ cables are very very good and work better for my system. For your A21 amp though, I would recommend the Z3 which is bigger gauge and better noise dissipation. Look around on Ebay, there are reputable US Ebay sellers selling it well below retail.


Since you’re on a budget and this is your first cable, check out Cullen Cables, PS Audio, and Signal Cables. There are others who build high current cables.

These are for an amp...

An amp such as your A21 should use a heavier gauge power cable since it draws much more current than a source component.
As you stated, that AQ cable is suited for source components which draw a low amount of current.
   A large amp will never perform at its potential using a cable that can't deliver the current required.

If you are on a budget, take a look at Cullen Cable or Signal Cable for a PC suited for a high current amp.
