I have yet to hear a preamp whose performance was not improved by a good aftermarket power cord. The very best value in my experience is the Shunyata Venom line. You can find them used for as little as $100 and they outperform many far more expensive cords. If you have the scratch, the new Shunyata Alpha analog cord beats anything I have heard under $3000. I use it on my new Convergent Audio Technology Renaissance preamp and also used it on my old Conrad Johnson CT5.
Should I upgrade power cord for my preamp?
Hello all,
A while back, I upgraded the power cord for my amp. That makes sense to me. However, should I also upgrade the power cord for my preamp. Based on my limited understanding of how preamps work, it does not seem like it would make a sonic improvement.
Suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
