Power cable


Any recomendations for a nice aftermarket power cable for NAD M25 pluged into Torus AVR 20 no more than1000USD, 

801d

Try Zavfino Majestic PC. Outstanding build quality and high performance for the money. 

one of: 

CARDAS CLEAR BEYOND, ( pre-owned)

CARDAS CLEAR ( new or pre-owned)  , or

CARDAS  CKEAR REFLECTION  

 

….. as gold / silver/ bronze 

This is an educated guess. I would recommend  borrowing an Audio Quest Thunder high current / variable. It is more expensive than I would normally recommend. But, I have been so surprised at the performance of the Storm class Audio Quest power cords, I bet, while the first level storm is around $1K… it would be worth trying. I suspect the result would be startling. Only go through with the purchase if it is clearly worth it to you.

Typically I would recommend a DHLabs cord for your device, or trying an inexpensive Cardas.

 

Totally depends on what sound characteristics or improvements you’re looking for. 

DH Labs Corona AC is my favorite for under $3K, and it “only” costs $950 for 5’. I’ve preferred it over the $2500 Shunyata NR series.

Incredible proprietary shielding and counter-spiraled 10awg silver-coated oxygen-free copper conductors for noise rejection and increased slam and dynamics.

Not much has been published on it, but it is a significant step above their Red Wave cable, and DH Labs offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee with this cable. 

Used Audioquest Tornado High-Current. Low noise floor and neutral. 
Used Audience AU24se HP if you want a bit warmer sound. 
Acoustic Zen Krakatoa is also decent slightly on the warmer side of neutral but a good overall power cord. 

Zavfino recommended above is probably a solid choice as it gets good rep although I never tried it. I use and like their Arcadia interconnects. 

Don’t spend $1k on a power cable. 

How much should we spend on a power cable? What do you approve of?
