Power cables, I need help


I have finally got all the components that make very good music in my system! My last tweek is power cables & maybe a line conditioner. I have read here on audiogon where some use p/c's only on certain components and some suggest plugging them only into the wall outlet. I have also read sometimes a/c conditioners do more harm than good. I have mono block tube amps and a tube preamp. I would be willing to spend $1,000 - $2,000 new or used, what should I be looking for? & is there a component that works better with a power cord?

Thanks, Bob

Bob,

You do not mentino what the names aer of the components you need power cords for or whtat type of sound you are looking for. Goodu suggestions above for dedicated linies. Then you need to try a few cords and power conditioners. The Exact Power is a very good unit as well as the Shunyata Hydra. Aberdeen on Agon will send you an exact power to audition. By auditioning you will know what works for you and your system.

There aer too many good power cords to mention, the top ones I have heard are the Elrods, Shunyatas and the Harmonix. There are other lower priced cords like JPS, Audience that also work well.

You just cannot go by recommendations. I recently tried a Shunyata Black Mamba which worked wonders on the Rresolution Opus 21 CDP but did not really add that much if anything to the Wadia 861.

So narrow down your choices and then find a few dealers on Agon who can send you the cables and power conditioners to audition.

Happy Listening.
