T+A Power plant MKII - cable suggestions


Can anyone with experience with T+A equipment recommend a good power cord and speaker cable? I know they make their own cables but I don't believe they are available in the U.S.. I will be using the T+A Power Plant with Dynaudio Focus speakers.

Thanks!

I tried a Simaudio 340i, Arcam A28 and the T+A power plant MkII with the Dyns and found the T+A to be the best amp. The Dynaudio's just came alive with all that power. I now know why people have always said that Dynaudios love power. The Simaudio sounded a little too polite to me and the Arcam was not bad but just didn't have the punch of the T+A... especially in the lower octaves. I couldn't be happier with the choice. Plus the T+A looks awesome, has recessed connections and a very well functioning loudness button for late night listening. On top of that its extremely energy efficient using only a fraction of a watt in standby.

I went with JPS labs Ultraconductor 2 cables all around and have been very satisfied. The midrange seemed to be "clearer" and more airy compared to my Analysis Plus cables.
I've been very happy with the T+A Powerplant MKII paired with Dynaudio Focus speakers. I went with all Nordost cabling and it seems to work quite well. Is it the best amp I've ever heard? No, but it definitely is a very musical amp despite being digital. I think a lot of it has to do with their own "Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) output stage." Its their own in house design and the dynamics are probably the best I've heard for an amp in this price range. I wish the amp was a little bit warmer overall but it's definitely not a cold, clinical sounding amp. I've seen Dynaudio use this and other T+A amps to power their speakers at conventions and now I know why. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it in its price range.
