Power cord

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.

+ 1 and many more. You realize that you’re picking the pockets of the mighty AudioQuest + others and taking the blowhard out of peoples sails. That aside 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.

Start with a 20 amp dedicated CCT for your system. To add another name to the pile, I started with a $350.00 Nordost power cable, I have all WIreWorld power cables now. I did audition them in my house on my system. They work well with my gear. 

There it is🙄

Have a friend or maybe spouse help you with some blind testing before you make your expensive decision (that doesn't affect the sound one iota).

Ferrari or Lamborghini?

@audphile1 is absolutely correct.

Don’t buy any power cords you haven’t auditioned in your system!

Just because a set of cords sounds good in someone else’s system doesn’t mean it’s going to sound good in yours.

Assuming you have the sound quality you want and do not want the tonal balance changed at all, I recommend a used AudioQuest Hurricane. High level Nordost are great … but at this intermediate level (for Nordodt), I would recommend the AudioQuest. This might be out of your budget… but 2meters sound better than 1 meter power cords. I use Transparent power cords on all my components except for my power amp… that is a Hurricane. I cannot recommend it enough. I would have gone with a high current Transparent but it was several times the price.

I spent around that per cord 1.5 meter for Furetech DPS-4.1 with ncf plugs, I also see the prices have come down $100 per meter.  
 

It's not just oxygen free copper as some say who are not familiar with it. Ive only compared to Analysis plus ultimate oval which are more expensive and not as good to me in my system.

 I paid a lot less for those used. And that oval plus won't fit all the way in to the ncf plugs, I know because I replaced the ends on the plus with the ncf's. 

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

Make your own & put the saved money to a better use.

Furutech OCC copper & plugs. Just my $.02
