OP: +1 System synergy. I have Transparent Audio cabling from the wall to the TA power conditioners. Then Synergistic Research cabling to the components. Adding an upper-tier digital SR power cord to the streamer was a ’wow’ moment. Ask if your local SR dealer has a trial period.
Power cord upgrade
I want to upgrade power cords for my streamer, Aurender A15 which currently has a Shunyata v14 digital.
And Puritan 156 which has the classic cord it comes with.
I believe in system synergy, so I am leaning towards Transparent, and/or Audioquest.
I have ARC ref5se with the Transparent Reference, and ref75se with the AQ Hurricane.
Guess my thought is the streamer and 156 PC are maybe a bottleneck. Won't know without trying, right? I am satisfied with the over all sound now, so looking for more of it. Make any sense??
