Bryston's take on power cords for their amps and preamps...
It's the email response an Audiogon member received after inquiring about power cord he lost while moving.
"In general, Bryston has seen no reason to use anything other than a high-quality AWG 14 cord with an IEC connector and three-prong plug. We can supply these (which are original equipment) for $15 each + a small shipping charge.
Some customers seem absolutely determined to spend insane amounts of money on "special" power cords; after spending that money, can their assessment of what they gained be trusted?
If you can't find AWG 14 standard cords in your area, contact us to order one.
Following was his email question,
-----------------------------------
Hi
I'm using 3B SST and 5B ST for stereo and HT.
While moving, I lost the power cords supplied by
Bryston, so I'm currently using some cheap unknown
power cords. I was thinking about getting some nice
aftermarket power cords, so I didn't bother to find it
hard.
What do you reccomend?
The one I'm considering is PS Audio Prelude.

Will using good after market power cords imporve or
reduce the amp performance?
Is the power cord supplied by Bryston supposed to
perform the best for the amp? Should I try to get
power cords from Bryston if they are lost?
Thanks.
