Parasound power cable question?

The 18 gauge cord is definitely not optimal for a large power amp. It will work, but it will compromise the sound of the amp.

I still use Parasound's "Wonderful" cord on a Parasound transport and as Rcrump says, it is quite good for a stock cord. I've had good results using Monarchy Audio's stock 14 gauge cords too.

Recently, I installed Signal Cable's 10 gauge power cable on my Parasound PLD-2000 preamp and it is performing to a very high level. I believe Signal Cable offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Here's a link if you're interested: http://signalcable.com/speaker_cables.html

Parasound used to include a fairly normal looking cord that said "Wonderful" on the wire itself. It was a pretty darned good cord.......It beat up an aftermarket cord that retailed for $60 in tests here and was close to the Asylum DIY cord......The Wonderful cord was a 14/3 BTW so draw your own conclusions.....
