Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors


Do I need to add power cords/conditioner/surge protector to my system or is it product dependent.

My current system consists of:

  • Moon 390 network player
  • Moon 761 amplifier
  • Sonus Faber Sonetta V speakers

Should I use the stock power cords on the Moon equipment or look at new power cords? If new cords should be purchased let's hear some recommendations. Will the power cords change anything sonically?

Should I also add power conditioner/surge protector to the equipment? Again, does it change anything sonically? If recommended do you look at Shunyata, Panamax etc.

Thanks for your input/recommendations.

You shouldn’t take advice from anyone in this post and consult Moon Audio on what they recommend. 

Someone just sent me a message about my post saying no manufactures make recommendations on power conditioning equipment.  Although some may not, Moon Audio does sell power conditioning equipment and can certainly make recommendations.  McIntosh does also as that’s the system I presently use.
