Power Cable for Wadia 302 cd


Hi,
I am currently looing for anyone that has taken the time to audition power cords for the Wadia 302 cd player. I just purchased a new unit and will be looking to upgrade from the original cord fairly soon. I am also looking for one to go with my Krell KAV-400xi integrated. I have had a couple of recommendations so far the Audience cable to go with the Wadia and the Pure Note Paragon for the Krell integrated. Any one else have suggestions?
Many Thanks,
David

I use a Signal Cable sheilded digital power cord with my Wadia 302. I have been very happy...and it is inexpensive!
you can also check out Acoustic Zen Tsunami Plus for your Krell. This cord works good with amps, especially if you need to smooth out the highs without loss of detail. Shunyata Taipan would be another good cord to consider, but more money than the Audience or AZ.
Thanks to all of you who sent in great suggestions!! I am familiar with the 302's sound and have always wanted one, it wasn't until now that I could really afford it. The unit will need to be broke in so I will give it pleanty of time to do so before I audition any PC.
As for the suggestion for my Krell integrated I appreciate the info, I am wrinting down all of the cords suggested so I will have a decent list to audition.
I am a bit surprised as to your experience running straight to amplification "Newbee". The dealer I purchased the 302 from thought that I would be better served if I ran the 302 directly out of the amp. The Krell may indead end up being only a temporary fix until I purchase the Ayre V-1xe. He thought that I would get a noticble improvement in sound if I ran the 302 directly from the V-1xe or V-5xe, but I think all would agree that both amps are a notch higher thant the Krell integrated. Also I know that you have to set the senseativity at the correct level to make sure that you are reaching at least 65 on the volume control of the 302. From what I have read if the level is set too low that you will loose some of the musicality of the player.
As for talking to Mr. Shaeffer I have not done that, but will keep that option open.
Many Thanks,
David
David, The great thing about the volume control is you get to try the alternatives for free and reach your own conclusion. My experience might just have been a result of poor system interface (I did try the various output levels trying to maintain as high as possible a setting on the VC without putting the amp into clipping) or my sonic preference for the tone imparted by my pre-amp. Enjoy!
