Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?

I probably like Pete more than his cables🤣 but he is built for customer service and is very accommodating. He has some unique wire that can work for most.

I found the NRG cables to be high quality but heavy in the bass department, and as much as a PC can contribute to the sound, they didn’t help it overall in the tone and soundstage arena.

I did order 2 shorter versions of his cables, after auditioning some 5 footers, to power my ADD PWR units since the value is so high from him. Another great guy to work with.

Here is a list of power cables I have auditioned in 2023 in search of the Holy Grail:

@bugredmachine ahh so you also kept the Triode Wire Labs Seven Plus power cables? What do you like about it compared to all the other cables you auditioned? 

I have no TWL cables in the house of any kind.

@bugredmachine impressive list of power cords!!! You encouraged me to put together a list of power cords I’ve tried over the years. I’ll get to it when I have some time. 

By the way…great looking room and a cool system!
