I use the 303/300 in my system and have tried a lot of different power cords with it before deciding on the best ( IMO) cord for it - the Nirvana Source AC power cord, which is not insanely priced ($595/1.5M), but gets the very best from the 303/300. Second place went to the Purist Aqueous Anniversary power cord, but the Nirvana beat this out at least in my system. Have FUN!
Power Cord suggestions
See below for the system. I would like to upgrade my power cable on my cd player and am not sure where to start. I am not too sensitive to price, but nothing insane - I understand that is a matter or degree in this hobby :) Thanks.

Thanks for these responses. To be honest, I don't necessarily feel anything is missing. I just see from my past experience that changing cables, including power cords, created dramatic improvements (e.g., putting Nite II on my amps, using Venustas, etc.), so I am curious about a new PC on my source. I have called Cable Co. and am working with them. |
You may find this thread of some interest, Power Cord Flavors. It will give you some reference to start with. It would help if we knew what you were trying to accomplish, since there is no cord that does it all. Are you looking for more transparency and speed? Are you looking for more body and fullness? What do you feel is missing? Cheers, John |
