Power cord upgrade

@zlone

I know the Puritans take about two weeks to break in, but after five days of painful listening with terrible, etched highs, I had to swap out the cord for 20A Shunyata I had laying around. This quickly resolved that problem

Interesting. I just removed the ultimate cord and inserted the classic back into the PSM156 because I thought this comment was quite odd. I certainly don’t get any etched highs, if anything it is smoother and easier to listen to than the ultimate. Less resolved, less detail, less refined and not as nice sounding, but not terrible by any means. The worst part of the classic and the part I noticed the most was the bass was bloomy and very much uncontrolled with the classic vs. the ultimate. But I suppose the Shunyata is that much smoother by comparison? Which Shunyata cord is it?

@skids I wish I could try the Hurricane HC in the Puritan but it is not a C19.

Won't know without trying, right? I am satisfied with the over all sound now, so looking for more of it. Make any sense??

Yup, makes total sense. I feel the same about my system right now, leaves nothing to be desired, so I have a C19 Sigma V2 on the way to see if I prefer it over the Ultimate.  We are audiophiles, right? 

@skids - My experience was a little different than Audphile1. I also have the Puritan 156 in my primary system which absolutely up-leveled the quality of my listening experience. I upgraded to their Ultimate Power cable and used it on the Puritan 156. In my system it was a definite improvement leading to deeper and more propulsive bass and more meat on the bones for the music. 
 

There's no such thing as upgrading power cords so don't waste your money NO REASON.

(if money is no object to you... then... )

@classicrockfan Don’t wast your breath, the Force is strong said Darth Vader, old age, disposable coin, hearing loss, gullibility, marketing, some of the powers at hand !! 

AQ Tornado source is perfect for that a bit more money but better suited the the HC version.
