Power Cords for Ayre K-5xe and V-5xe


I am looking to upgrade the power cords on my Ayre V-5xe and K-5xe. I was considering Kubala-Sosna Emotion, Purist Audio Dominus, Virtual Dynamics Master, and a few others. I am open to suggestions. Can anyone comment on the ones I've mentioned or suggest any that might be better? Thanks

Of the three that you mention, I would recommend the VD Master. I feel it is more transparent and natural than the others. The PAD Dominus probably would sound better on digital gear though.

That being said, the VD Revelation is even better than the Master. I know, it should be for the price difference, but the VD Revelation is now the best power cord I've heard, by far, especially for amplification/power conditioning sources.

I've heard many top cords in my system, including top of the line offerings from Shunyata/Nordost/PAD/Tara Labs/K-S/XLO/etc. The VD Revelation are my current reference for best all around performer.

I haven't heard the Master or Revelation 'Signature' series yet though, so I may be living in the past.
