Power cable question.


I am going to upgrade the power cable on my Jolida 502A amp and am not sure the way to go. The PS audio Lab II cable gets lots of positive press but the price tag is stunning. I have also read about the Asylum Power Cable and really like the price. The question is this: Is there $400 dollars discernable difference between the two cables? Which would you choose or do you have a better suggestion?
Thanks in advance
PS: I am thinking about an Ultimate Outlet also, are these worth the money?

Like most things in audio, the biggest bang for the buck begins by moving above minimum quality. In this case the stock cord is the minimum quality.

Almost any of the power cords discussed and sold at Audiogon will help your sound. As for money, you can spend as little or as much as you can stand.

The Jolida is a fine unit, but since it retails for about $1100.00, that extra $400.00 is a fairly high investment. I would start with used, maybe a Purist or Cardas.

I just took a look at classified here at Audiogon and saw a Cardas Hexlink power cord for $75.00. If this or another similarly priced (used) cord does not suit you, your likely to be able to resell for very little or no loss.
