Power cord suggestions for Hegel integrated amp/dac?
@gritter2 - take a look at Zavfino cables - they use the latest developments in wire, Insulation and cable geometry and they sound excellent for a reasonable price This cable should improve dynamics, image and clarity https://zavfinousa.com/collections/power-cables/products/the-majestic-occ-power-cable-12awg Regards - Steve |
Signal Cable. Yes I have these cables and cords all across my sytems. http://signalcable.com/magicpower.html

GR-Research 24 strand power cord! Nothing even close. https://gr-research.com/product/b24-power-cable/ |
Thanks all for your input. I ended up purchasing an Audioquest Thunder 2m power cable to test the waters and so far it has made a positive difference. The biggest difference has been with the Hegel's DAC, which sounds more present and dynamic. This is most noticeable with a better bass response and increased detail. It's not night and day, but enough of a positive change that I'll be keeping the Audioquest for a while before experimenting any further with power cords. |

I'm using a Shunyata Venom 20 amp HC on a Hegel H200. Had to get an adapter but like very much what it did for the sound. Previously, was using a Cullen Crossover v1. The Cullen is a well-built electricity conductor but to my ears the Venom HC is doing something more...reducing noise, perhaps. At $175 + $10 for a generic 20 amp cable>>15 amp IEC adapter (sounded the same as a Venom adapter after burn in) I think it is a great value. |
