Synergistic UEF Blue v. Cerious Graphene Matrix Power v. Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano

Hi everyone,

I am debating between 3 power cables for use on my Pass XA30.8: Synergistic Research UEF Blue High Current, Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix, and Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano. I am primarily seeking increased transient speed, detail resolution, and bass slam. I like the effects of graphene in my system: I use Cerious Graphene Extreme speaker cables, a Synergistic UEF blue fuse in the XA30.8, and Mad Scientist Audio graphene contact enhancer on connections/Black Discus Nano on power cords, all producing apparent improvements.

The rest of my system: Bluesound Node 2 streamer > Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC > Krell KRC-3 preamp > Pass XA30.8 power amp > Klipsch Epic CF3 (rebuilt). Current power cables are Audience Powerchord-e. Interconnects are Audioquest Colorado Xlr w/72v DBS.

Which power cord do you think would be best? If you have experience with any of these options, I’d love to hear your thoughts/experiences.

Thanks!

"@ozzy Do you mind elaborating on your impressions on all three manufacturers’ products? "

The Mad are good but not up there with the better cables. Soundstage is lacking.
The SR as always are very goo , but once I inserted the Cerious Matrix everything locked into place. I knew it was right, right away. It was a total cohesiveness.
Of course all my cables are the Cerious Matrix so that probably matters.

I have owned the Mad Scientist Nitro and many iterations of Synergistic Research cables, although not the one you listed.
To me, in my system, I was wowed once I completed the loom with all Cerious Matrix cables.
