Power Cable Suggestions


Will be receiving used Mark Levinson No 436 monoblock amps and would appreciate power cord recommendations, preferabley under $500, or stick with the stock power cords.
Thanks!

@roberjeman ~ thank-you for the "diagnosis" & Pangea recommendation.

@ebm ~ thank-you for the Furutech recommendation.

@lalitk ~ thank-you for your recommendations, two of which I was unaware of (Audio Envy & Signal Cables) which I will check out. I anticipated receiving some "cute" comments, no big deal!

Just started checking the Audigon & USAudioMart ads for power cords.

@paopawdecarabao6, @adg101, @limbc, @hilde45 ~ thank-you all for your suggestions.

@millercarbon, @djones51, @gpullman, @amg56, @tomic601,
@rixthetrick ~ thank-you for your input.

Point taken from @tomic601 in that I may not know where I am going but I am going somewhere....
@piaaudio, @mammothguy54 , @68pete, @3090, @kevinkroc ~ Thank-you all for your suggestions/recommendations.
I need to look used, but so far finding 2 matching power cables (I can afford) has been difficult.
@3090 ~ Appreciate the info on the handles affecting what iec connector will fit. Never would have thought of that.
@mammothguy54 ~ As all my interconnects are Audioquest (except for one Darwin Cable Company interconnect) I will look at their power cables. A power conditioner is next on search list.

@gosta ~ Don't know if it is weird to invest in power cables without including power conditioning or stabilization, but one needs to start somewhere and the next step for me will be power conditioning.

@paulcreed , @joannism, @scar972 , @audioguy, @thyname, @tomic601 , @hi-fi-high ~ Thank-you all for your input.

I have looked at all recommendations and decided to go with Cullen Cables, who I will contact when I get home and receive the amps so I know what length cables to order.

Again, thanks to all for sharing their expertise, time and thoughts!

@mdrone - It has been awhile since I installed the Transparent PC and don't recall there was a big difference in sound other than more punch in the low end.


@ dalims ~ Thank-you for your suggestion, however I did end up with a pair of Transparent Reference Powerlink MM 2x power cords. I may try a Zavfino Majestic OCC or Cullen Cable on my CD player.
@ chrken ~ Thanks for your experience. I did end up with Transparent Reference Powerlink MM 2x power cords for the monoblocks. Still searching for a power cord for the CD player at a price I am willing and able to pay.
