Power Cable Suggestions Needed


Like the title says I’m looking for a few power cables.  Right now between my preamp, amp, streamer, dac, and conditioner I have two Shunyata Venom 3s. I’m looking for a cable that will help tighten up the bass.  Maybe even a touch lean in the bass could be good for my setup right now.  I worry that cables with this kind of bass could also lean to the brighter side in the upper mids and treble. I’d like to avoid that if possible.  My budget, 100-200$ per cable, isn’t much and I know I can’t expect miracles.  When I added the two Venoms it was a very substantial improvement, and Shunyata is definitely on my radar now. I’d be happy with more of their cables, but curious if there’s brands that are known for a more detailed, controlled bass response.

You can’t just buy a cable based on random recommendations from a forum. You have to hear how any given cable will interact with any given component, and the only way you can do that is by listening. Find a good dealer or dealers who stock a range of power cables in your price range and home demo them.

You may end up paying a few bucks more than if you mail order, but in the end you have something that works in your system, and peace of mind knowing that you made the right choice.
