... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY?

Transparent premiums connected to a shunyata Denali 6000t.

So I just replaced one of my Oyaide Tunami PC with a Cerious  Graphene Extreme PC. Replaced the PC going to the dedicated transformer that everything goes through except the power amp. Only been on for a day so it's not broke in yet. This is a really smooth PC. Like what it's doing with the vocals. Will report back in a few days... 

All stock power cords.
Sounds tremendous!

Prof, I'm sure it does. You have good taste in electronics. I do suspect though that you would like the difference a Cerious power cord would give you. They are pretty inexpensive at $300 & he has a money back return policy. 

Hi boxer12: I've been a fan of Cerious Technology cables for while now. As good as the Graphene Extreme line is (especially for the price), the Matrix line is in another league altogether. Audition a Matrix PC sometime from Bob. I think you'll be quite impressed. 

hifihandyman , you list StraightWire Thunder. Straight Wire has 3 different "thunder" power cords: the Pro Thunder, the Black Thunder II and the Blue Thunder. Which are you using?

yoby,
Thanks for the information. 

Reporting back as I stated I would... The Cerious GE power cord now has about 125 hours on it. This is a very smooth & dynamic pc. From top to bottom better definition, more air between musicians, & a deeper stage.  I'll be adding more in the future. May even try their Matrix power cord, as yoby states it's even better.   

Top of the line PURIST and FURUTECH lets shout about it!!

This thread is timely. I just replaced one of my PS audio cords with one from Dave C at Zen Wave. Dave’s PL11 with the Furutech NCF plugs is a cord that I can highly recommend. Compared to my old PS audio, or the various Synergistic pc’s or Cardas pc’s I have had in the system, the Zen Wave is far more extended at both ends of the frequency spectrum....and a ton more resolving. 

Just replaced my PS Audio AC5 with Audioquest Thunder on my integrated amp. Can’t say I hear a world of difference.....yet

3 Virtual Dynamics for Amp, Phono Stage, DAC, and one Harmonic Technology for Turntable. Stock PC for Shindo Preamp.

Now, there's a waste of money! At least spend money on low level wiring that's in the signal path. In my case, it's Home Depot bulk cable with self soldered connectors from Digikey.

Good for you Dan, we’re all very proud of you

I use Straight Wire Black Thunder II on all components (SACD player, Krell integrated amp and power conditioner). Try as I might, I simply have not found anything thus far that sounds better, on both music and movies. Every other power cord I've tried (including Straight Wire's top Pro Thunder) brings strengths, but too often real weaknesses. But the Black Thunders continue to just sound so "right" in my system.

Always replace OEM 18AWG power cables with Tripp-Lite 14AWG of minimum length possible. Have always found significant differences in interconnects and speaker cables, but imperceptible change in sound quality when it comes to power cords.

What power cords have you tried turnbrown? 

boxer12,

I've tried Audioquest and Pangea of various flavors and my Bryston B60R Integrated Amp doesn't seem to care what I use to feed it. The power supplies in Bryston amps are quite robust, which may be an important factor.

For my three systems that have Pass Labs amplifiers I use Synergistic Research power cables, Synergistic Research fuses in the amps(nice improvement) and Synergistic Research wall outlets. Each makes a difference and together the improvement is a big step up in musical enjoyment.

DIY solid core 12awg (minimum) is the only way to make a 100% lossless powercord. Shielded.

Interesting turnbowm, thanks 

I use Ching cheng and old Stein Music excel

DIY solid core 12awg (minimum) is the only way to make a 100% lossless powercord. Shielded.

Unfairlane, Unfortunately you are 100% incorrect. 10awg unshielded stranded is the only correct implementation. Everyone knows this...

Quick, somebody notify AudioQuest pronto! They have not gotten the memo regarding stranded power cords. I won’t bring up directionality of power cords as that seems to be a trigger.

Transparent Powerwave ( 2019 version) with upgraded perf. power cable.

SynergisticResearch ( version 1 ) Master Coupler between  powerwave and DAC  ML 380S also connected to powerwave.

Just got the Powerwave.  More for protection for pre amp and dac, than looking for a big audio boost .  At first, that is what I thought I got.  Now that its run for about 10 hours, really noticeable difference in SQ.  Probably more to come.Very Pleased

 Hmm, do you know what matters with pc`s? What makes them moore or less suited? 

Yeah, kind of asking how you do your voicing.
