I recently changed all my power cords to PS Audio cords. I had bought an earlier version cheaply and was impressed by it, so I decided to try changing all of them. I have been delighted with the result, very easy to hear. To my mind, more important than interconnects. So, I get staying with one brand, especially when you have some reason. I went the way I did because I've been following Paul McGowan's blog, and he makes sense to me. This was the last detail, after attending to vibrations, dedicated lines, and a Premiere Power Plant. By the way, I see used PPP's, a PS Audio product, on Audiogon. I would encourage you to try one, I liked the result so much, I bought two...one for stereo, one for theater. Buy what you like secure in the knowledge some folks will consider you savvy, and others will consider you nuts!
Power Cable choices
I've been experimenting with different power cables to upgrade my stock cords. I demo'd a few from the cable co: Wireworld Siver Electra 7, LessLoss Original, and MIT Shotgun AC3. Out of these I liked the LessLoss best for my power amp, which is a class D amp. Since then, I picked up a nice set of older Voodoo power cables for my source equipment and power strip. I am using a Voodoo Mana on a Emotiva 6 port strip and Voodoo Silver Dragons on both CDP and DAC, both Emotiva's latest and greatest. I have a Voodoo Magneto for my Martin Logan Depth I subwoofer. Looking for a nice power cable for my Emotiva XPA-2 stereo amp. I have been considering the following:
1. AntiCables Level 2 performance power cord - 5ft for $230.
2. Voodoo Thunder power cord - 6ft for $525
3. LessLoss Original - 2m for $595
I am leaning towards the Voodoo simply because i'd have all my power cords from the same maker. I even use a digital coax ( SilverStream digital ) from Voodoo to connect my CDP to DAC. The speakers, Martin Logan Theos, are all connected with MIT Shotgun S3 interconnects (2 pairs) and bi-wire speaker cables. The only oddity is the USB cable that I intend to use on my MacBook Pro from Ridge Street Audio (Alethias 15ft run).
Any advice on choosing from the above 3 is greatly appreciated. This is my first post to the forums, so be easy on me :-).
Thanks,
Jason
