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. 

No manufacturer to my knowledge recommends cables, this is why we have forums.

Whatever cables you choose, even if new, they are the component least likely to depreciate over time, if you buy quality.

Used cables give even greater returns.

They are an investment highly inflation resistant and just remember cables don't wear out if they are well looked after.
