Power cord upgrade

To classicrockfan:

You are 100% correct.

As long as a power cord is thick enough to handle high current, any such a cord is good. The cheaper, the better. Power code can not affect audio sound quality (maybe 1 - 2%?).

I have Vienna Mahler speakers. My pre, power amp is very old and relatively cheap. Onkyo pre, Yamaha 200W power. Cheap but thick power cords, $20 interconnect everywhere. The sound? Awesome!!!

Please, do not waste your money, just get higher end speakers as you can afford.

I used to think components were more important cables.

I now have done a 180 and am sure that cables are more important than components.

 Have a modest system compared with most of my friends in our audio club.  Many of them have spent well north of $500k on their rigs.

 Have now rotated many sets of high end power cables, interconnects and speaker cables through my sub $50k system and I can tell you without reservation that a set of $100k cables makes my system sound better than the best $750k rig I have heard.

If you want body and soul without losing transparency and soundstage try Clarus Crimson, exceptional, not just for the price.

+1 @mclinnguy - I primarily use Audio Sensibility Statement SE power cables.  Steven will make cables with connectors not listed on his pricing tool.  My preference are the Furutech FI-50 NCF(R) connectors.  Steven Huang is great to work with.

+1 @kennyc input with the Audio Bacon review reference.

I have one QSA Lanedri Gamma Infinity power cable on my pre-amp, which is fantastic.

Sablon Audio is on my list, but I have not yet tried one of Mark's power cables.  Sablon also has the QSA treatment option via QSA Landeri.

I use all Shunyata. Alpha NR V.2 on my Mimas, and Dave. The new Shunyata Theta NR on Auralic G2.2 streamer. Alpha XC V.2 on Denali 6000 V.2
