Spipa, I just spent several weeks reviewing several brands of chord for my C50 / 601 McIntosh set up. Had two separate Mc dealers suggest Audience chords and that's what I decided to go with. More detail, tighter control and very musical. Best my system has sounded. Worth the $.
Power Cables
I am currently upgrading my system. I had a pair of XLO Ultra speaker cables sitting around and was very impressed with the improvement over the original Monster cable. Having come back from Axpona, I am wondering what fellow Audiogon members would recommend for a power cable with tight bass, superb mids and extended highs that would help to produce a very full, wide and deep soundstage. I am looking to replace the cable on my Adcom GFA-5802. I do agree with philosophy of starting with the power. I have demoed one other power cable and the difference is immense. Thanks in advance for the advice.
