Power cords for Audioresearch.

I have the LS25 and the VT100 MKII. I found that the stock PC equalled or outperformed several aftermarket PCs. However, My gear went up several notches in performance with the Elrod EPS3s on the amp and either a NBS Master III or Elrod EPS2 on the LS25. The bigget improvement was obtained when I used 3 RGPCs on the amp and the Shunyata Hydra 8 on the front end.

However, I recommend that you should expriment with different PCs if possible. In the final analysis, the selection of PCs depends on system synergy and personal preferences.

I am using the Taipan Alpha (20A) with my Hydra 8. It is indeed a very "fast" cable. I have experimented with the Shunyata King Cobra, Black Mamba, Audio Magic and a bunch of $3000 PC. In my system the Elrods and NBS were the most neutral. The King Cobra was an eye opener when I tried it several years ago: I was amazed at the improvements in my system. Again, you need to experiment with different cables.
