No one can give you any advice based on your question. And if someone claims they can, call 🐂 💩

I’m of the belief most of these cable posts are born just to further the controversy. At least once a month the same old same old. 
 

this is one of the very few times I agree with you @1971gto455ho 

The OP posed a tricky question

1. There’s no information on what the cord is for - source component, preamp, amp, active speakers, power conditioner. Is the $1500 price range for a used cable or new

2. What brand/model component is it

3. What’s the system consist of

4. Preference for sound - warm, dark, bright?

Everyone will try to recommend what they like. Every system is different and even if someone has exactly the same component or even the exact same system, no two rooms sound alike. The way the question is posed it’s impossible to make even a remotely valid recommendation.

I’ve used 3 different AQ power cords and I don’t care for them. I also tried Furutech DPS 4.1 with NCF for connectors. I have all nordost power cables now. All this tells you is what I like in my system in my room. Means nothing to you.

@1971gto455ho stick to audio and stay out of politics. And stay on topic. Do you have any experience with $1500 AQ and Nordost power cord? If not, shut up.

@unclewilbur I’m sure people at Furutech are much more qualified to answer your inquiry than anyone on these forums. Let us know what they respond with.

Dear audphile 1, Not nice to tell people to shut up.. especially when their conversation or comments weren’t directed towards you personally. This is a public form and I’m not privy to your location nor do I care, I will say this is also good for you !! I’m a very big very well trained individual that try’s to get along with even the simplest folk with or without manners. I’ve had time to think about that, so let’s stick to audio…and stay healthy.

Clearly you either didn’t have enough time to think about it or you didn’t think about it enough. Not very smart of you to threaten anyone in a public forum. Keep your politics, your threats and your baseless statements to yourself. Try’s to think about that a bit…may be you will get along even better with everyone if you re-evaluate your manners. Have a good night, very big and very trained amigo

@wesheadley 👍 applies to components as well. Bad mistake to jump to conclusions too quickly…been there dine that!

I’ve tried a number of power cables and interconnects and I’m using Nordost now. It is all subjective and system dependent. There’s no perfect set of cables that would work for everyone in every system.
