Power cord for Proceed HPA 3


I have Proceed HPA 2 and 3 amps. They're rated at 500 continuous watts per channel into 4 ohms, but Madrigal was said to be conservative. Any suggestions for appropriate power cords? Should I be looking at 20 amp cords?

Your amp has a 15 amp iec connector. A 20 amp cable has a different iec connector

You might want to try the Pangea ac-9SE - it is made from better quality copper.

Personally, I built my own from Furutech 10 gauge cable and silver plated iec/mains conectors - if you want details use the Agon messaging feature on "My Page" and send me a note - cost - $220 for a 7 ft cable

I am also using 10 & 12 gauge braided romex which works extremely well - almost as good as the furutech.

You might also want to try some stores for loaners - Nordost actually has a case of cables they give their dealers for loan purposes that has a selection of power cables to try.

No matter what cable you buy they are going to be pretty thick

Good luck
questions
- do you have a quality outlet?
- a dedicated line from breaker panel?

Both of these will effect the performance of a new cable - and burn-in is also a factor - more on some cables than others
