Power cords

Thanks guys....Even when I had all high end AQ IC's and SC's their AC cords had a very poor rep.  I had Audience pc's.  Switched to SR and never looked back.  Love what they do but they are not the last word in body & weight.  I've read good things about the AQ Dragons and wondering if adding a couple to the SR mix would give me the best of both worlds!  Let me know your thoughts once you've played with them.
Thanks

Interesting....I will try that and yes, due to the near field set up I'm using, due to room constraints the rear wall is heavily treated with two GIK Full range Monster bass traps 24 x 48 each plus two Soffit bass traps.  The Monster traps are centered behind my listening position and flanked by GIK Q7d diffusers.  I am also using 12 UEF panels and 20 UEF dots.  My soundstage extends well beyond and behind the speakers and with certain well recorded hi-rez formats and it seems in particular DSD it seems I'm no longer in the front row but actually on the stage with the musicians....some folks might not care for that presentation.....I adore it.

Thanks folkfreak,
"The real skill of the Dragon is in this trick of unmasking. You may find at first listen that this feels "thin" but give yourself time to work out what is going on. "
Your above quote I think puts it about where I'm at....not as it pertains to the Dragons, but in my case, getting familiar with the SR "sound".   I'm still internally debating whether they lack body and weight or are just so good at filtering out the hash and fuzz that I perceive something missing. I too have a small room at 10'8" wide by 15'6" long and 10' ceilings heavily treated with GIK's assistance...I'm actually very happy with the sound but as always....looking for any improvements...funny actually your Dragon review that prompted my post:)

Thanks David,
Perhaps I should clarify....I am in no way unhappy with the performance of SR cables. They are by far the best I've heard in my system....I'm still internally debating whether they lack body and weight or are just so good at filtering out the hash and fuzz that I perceive something missing.  I have been working with David Weinhart and he has been a great help....I have also spoken with Peter at the Cable Co.....I think he came out of AQ. I'm running all SR Blue fuses throughout although admittedly have neglected the outlets. I do have one SR Black duplex on the mono blocks. I have found the addition of the UEF Panels and dots and especially the Active Grounding Block SE really tightened things up and definitely added some density and weight. I will look into the E-Mats....good call and thanks for the info.

I checked out your set up....very nice!  Interesting but in my room the Black Box does what its supposed to,bass is not just more defined but cleans up mids and HF as well...more focused and defined.  I had an extra 4" GIK absorption panel that I inserted between my listening seat and the Monster bass traps....good call as it definitely created more separation and  "cleaner" crisper mids and highs.  One of my favorite pieces for soft mids and guitar work is Wicked Games by Chris Isaac and with the absorption panel it is even prettier and I can clearly make out the refrain which was not always the case.   BTW I did order a Galileo UEF pc to power my PowerCell 12 UEF...looking forward to evaluating it's impact.    Thanks for the input.

Good call, my bad.  Something I've neglected.  I do have a SR Black duplex feeding the monoblocks but nothing on the front end side.  I've taken David Pritchard's and your advice and ordered a SR Red and SR Blue to evaluate.
Thanks to all

Sorry for the delay....some travel and of course the long drawn out "burn in" process. My Galileo is driving the PowerCell 12SE with all the front end components and with that 32 amp connector no way to run it in on the Audiodharma cooker....Lord I hate that process!  Being an impatient type A I also installed SR Blue Duplex's all around, although I did run those in by installing in spots around the house that see close to a constant draw. Long and short....the Galileo (and said duplex's) now have 300 plus hours on them and I am absolutely delighted! While the Atmosphere Level 3 on the PowerCell was exceptionally good, dead quiet, great separation, air and focus, holographic and 3D....the Galileo is something else altogether! While it certainly has the above description in spades, it is WAY more holographic, every instrument and vocal is meatier and more 3D giving the sound more presence. Everything is just smoother and more musical and it is more volumetric and I don't mean louder...the music seems to fill the space more.  This was a first rate upgrade!
Thanks all.
