have tried the Golden Reference by Cardas----one of my least satisfying experiences---everything just simply sounded dumbed down---I am running Conrad Johnson ET 250 Power Amp-obviously, worse on my CJ Pre
suggestions--power cords
Running Conrad Johnson ET 250 S and ET 5 with Vandersteen Quatros--currently, Mccormick DP 2 for CDs---finding issues with getting sound I like---running my Kimber Palladian to the Pre--which seems to work great--but as for the 250 S----have tried numerous combinations---Shunyata Python, Cardas Golden Reference, ---focus is good, but sound and stage is muted. Ideas? Also, could use a good reference for power cord for Mccormack---another Kimber for the 250S? Any and all input from people with similar equipment very much appreciated.

Have you tried LessLoss DFPC power cable?? This cable is incredable! On EVERY piece of equipment I've put this cable on I"ve seen a BIG improvement in sonics across the board! If you cannot afford to buy one new, ask em if you write them a review they will give you a price break on the cable. If you still can't afford em, wait til they come up used like I did. I bought one for $375 & its WORTH EVERY CENT of it!! I'm going to buy one every year til my whole system has them in it!!! |
Harry, I recommend the CH Acoustic X20 power cords, they're my reference. The CH Acoustic X15 power cord is also known as the Running Springs top-of-the-line HZ Crown Jewel. You can read my review of the X15 power cords that I started with before upgrading to the X20 power cords here: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rcabl&1282568800&openmine&zzKrell_man&4&5#Krell_man Chuck |
