Power cord feeding a power conditioner/regenerator


I am waiting for my Purepower APS 3000 to be delivered; it comes (it's the european version; I am from Italy) with a stock power cord with 20A IEC, so I can't use my power cords (Cardas Golden Reference) to evaluate how do they work on the power regenerator in comparison to the stock one.

I should buy a new cable with 20A IEC, or do it by myself buying a piece of a brand cable and the right connectors (Furutech, Oyaide, Wattgate).

Any experience, before I make an useless buy?

Thanks,

Emanuele

Hi, I would suggest you get the Shunyata adapter plugs. They are retailing at around $100/pc (tight/firm grip, and of highest audiophile quality). Available both ways (two versions), the 15>20A conversion, and 20>15A ones.

I had similar problem as all ARC equipments are 20Amps IEC equipped, and the last thing I want to do is temper with original factory terminations of my existing PCs. Further, I still swap cables around from time to time which makes fixed re-termination not viable.

Using these, you are then free to try/use any PCs you wish. Also, there is no degradation in sound quality that I can hear/detect of by using these well made plugs.

Hope this helps.
