Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist


Looking for a reasonably priced power cord for use with LTA preamplifier.

Trying to stay below 750 dollars,

Any experiences with Mad Scientist or Anticable power cords.

@mdrone - at that price I would look at Zafino cables, because they use OCC copper and employ more effective cable geometries and improved insulations.

 

They should provide

  1. lower noise floor (due to the cable geometry)
  2. faster dynamic performance (due to the OCC copper/silver)
  3. improved clarity and details (due to the improved insulation)
    • which also results is a more spacious image
  4. neutral colouration (due to the improved insulation)

Some believe that power cables should not impact overall sound quality mainly due to the fact the voltage is at a constant 50 Hz - but I have observed all of the factors mentioned above over several year of building my own cables that perform to a very high level

For details see  THE HELIX IMAGE" Power Cable | My Audio Alchemy (image99.net)

Hope that helps - Steve
