PS Audio AC-5 question

I recently bought PS Audio AC-5 power cord for my Parasound HCA-1205A amp. My pre is Anthem AVM-20 with Shunyata Diamondback power cord. My speakers are Paradigm Studio 60 v.3. When I changed the power cord of the amp from stock cable, I found that the overall sound is more forward than I would like. Also the top end has opened up, but I feel it to be a bit harsh - to the face. Not sure what is the issue. Is the PS Audio AC-5 a worng choice to Parasound amp?.

i agree. currently have ac10's and ac5's in my system and all required a long break in. mine didn't get sorted out until 200+ hours and sounded even better after 400 hours. give them a chance to loosen up and they'll do a wonderful job.

Lake11: if you like them now, you're gonna love-um after a few hundred hours of use. i use a couple of ac10's and noticed a difference from the beginning as well. however, i noticed much more improvement over time. you're gonna be one happy camper.

agree with Jdub. i've got an ac-10 feeding my quintet from a dedicated 20A line. have another ac-10 going to my amp. use 2 ac-5's for my pwd and pwt and an ac-3 for my sub.

separating audio/video is a good idea imho. have all my HT gear running from a separate 15A dedicated line.

spent alot of time trying to different hook-ups before settling on what i currently have. it sound wonderful!
