power cord for pass 250.8


Looking for a power cord for my Pass 250.8

Right now using cord that came with it. Could I do better?

For those with this amp which cord did you find most suitable.... My system is a bit on the laid back side so a somewhat more forward sound would be nice. Looking to pay up to $3,000.00 used.

Thanks for any suggestions.

@dhite71 I have a NRG Custom Cables 4 outlet distribution box and attached cable.  It is very well made and wasn't particularly expensive but I have no idea if it improved the sound quality since I didn't do any careful A/B testing.  He isn't taking new orders until September.

Another small manufacturer is Ice Age and I did buy a loom of Ice Age OFC cables and after burning them in I can confidently say they are a significant improvement to the Pangea AC-9 cables they replaced.

I've never had any of the uber expensive power cables so I can't comment on them.  

@dhite71 I did a tour of the Shunyata facility about a month ago with my local audio club.  They were excited about the Gamma and Theta lines but we didn't audition them.  We were very impressed with their listening room and the demo of the Altaira grounding system.  I imagine having a great listening room as a laboratory to test your products makes a big difference in what you make.  Caelin was impressive and seemed like a very serious guy.  The Gamma cords were a little above my price point but they would be a good option for the OP to consider.
