mixing power cords?


My system only has 3 pcs, currently 2 AQ NRG2s and an MIT Zcord II going to my SimAudio Equinox. I'm not satisfied with the NRG2s, especially powering my Krell KAV400xi integrated - I ordered a Cardas Golden Ref. powercord for it, and need a third to plug my power conditioner (PS audio duet) into the wall (PS audio PowerPort). will using a mish-mash of well-reviewed powercables be detrimental? should I seek uniformity? Any suggestions for a third cable (price range $250 - $300 used)?

Add different ingredients to achieve a better mix.

Even if you use all one brand, you probably won't be using the same model all over.

I use a Python VX to feed my Duet which supplies my mid fi & rotating gear. I use an Elrod Sig III to feed my Haley which in turn gives juice to a PC, multi ch amp and DAC.

I like Voodoo, Elrod, and shunyata in no real order. The Taipan Helix works best IMO on tube gear, the VX needs to be on rotating stuff or overtly bright sounding things. The Elrod I think I like the best but the Voodoo I have the most of and they are a good value & performing cable.

A bit mo' info on what you are seeking to achieve with this addition would be more helpful.


For what you seek, try a Taipan Helix Alpha... somewhere.

Audience was the first pc I tried. Ho hum. one of those 'better than nuttin'' IMHO. The II which is now out might be better. I don't know. I've no reason to go back and look.
