Power Cord for Jolida JD-100


What seems to be a good PC for this player? Right now I using a Analysis Plus Power Oval. I have considered an Audience but open for other suggestions. Budget no more than $300. My preamp is a Jolida Music Envoy and amp is a Levinson No. 29. Speakers are Tyler Acoustics.

My other PC's are Tsunami Plus for the preamp and a Shunyata Taipan Alpha from the Hydra 2 to the wall and Tsunami from the Hydra to amp.

Personal taste in sound is the warm side of neutral to neutral and nice detail.

I thought the Vishnu had a clean, balanced sound to it. I also like the Michael Wolff PCs, but I don't see any on the used market right now. You might also try Audio Horizons. Their cords are under $200. They have a free home audition, I believe. IMO, the Audience (and the VH Audio Flavor 4) do not fit your sonic requests.

*I have no affiliation with the seller of the Vishnu PC.
Samzx12, if you are asking which of the two has a brighter/more detailed sound, it would have to be the Flavor 4...at least in the applications I've heard. If it's a choice between the two, I would choose the Flavor 4 for your player. Many people like the Audience cords. To my ear, they make the music sound dark and rolled-off. Everything depends upon system synergy, room, type of music, your ears, etc...

Hope that helps.
Boa2 I have a question? Why don't you recommend the Flavor 4? Thanks!
I've done comparisons in at least three different systems with the Flavor 4 on the source. An Electraglide & a Michael Wolff PC both made the highs much more open and transparent. Each time we went back to the Flavor 4, the snare drum sounded muffled, and the music became less engaging. The owner of the cord was the first to say so, and he used the word "lifeless".

Everyone hears differently, and the sound varies so much from one system to another. These are my experiences, and yours may be entirely different if you heard the same cord on your player.

Hope that answers your question.

Best,

Who knows Howard maybe the PC was not broken in????
Each had well over 500 hrs of playtime.
