... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY?
HELLO TO ALL... Not really a discussion - more like a survey: prompted by a recent article about Power Cords that showed up in my browser. PLEASE NO DETAILS: NO IN-DEPTH REVIEWS OF ATTRIBUTES, WISH I HADs AGAIN, or WANT TO TRYs - just component (CD, PRE, DAC, INT, POWER, SPEAKER) and Mfg Brand, and model (if known) and length
mine: CD: GOLDMUND /JOB SWEET CORD; 2-1/2 METER INT: JOB INT: PS AUDIO XSTREAM SC STATEMENT, 1 METER
I used Clarity Vorte Power Cords for my Aurender, SimAudio 700 V2 amp and Bricasti DAC.
The Aurender is plugged direct into the wall and the Amp and DAC are plugged into the Nordost QBase Mark II (QB-4) AC Distribution Unit. I do not use a power condition, surge protector or anything else.
DIY using Furutech interconnect connectors and Mogami cable. Power cables are 8 awg with Furutech power connectors. Speaker cables are 4 awg with Furutech spades.
I just recently replaced Audio Art Statement 1 power cables to all components with Audio Art Statement e2plus power cables everywhere with good success. The current top of the line Audio Art power cables are excellent cables which the same by another large name cable company would cost 2 or 3 times as much for the same quality cable. I am so impressed with these power cables that I am replacing all my Cardas signal and speaker cables with Audio Art Statement cables. These cables are not inexpensive but are comparable to cables many more times the price.
Furman AC215-A Power Conditioner - stock cable to the wall, Node & Amp to Furman Vincent SV237MK Integrated Hybrid Tube Amp - PS Audio Jewel Bluesound Node 2i - Nordost Purple Flare Sonos Connect - PS Audio Jewel
Considering upgrading the PS Audio Jewel to Nordost Blue Heaven or Heimdal 2 (pricey) or Shunyata - Venom V14 (C13) unless an HC cable is recommended for the Integrated?
I put in an Ansuz loom -- power, IC and speaker -- a couple of years ago when the D1 level was being superseded. Everything was on sale. Time has moved on, but I feel no need to upgrade....
Pangea Signature cables for everything (Cardas copper and litz configuration). Have tried other very expensive cables...and still own some of them. . Pangea does a wonderful job of what a power cable should do.
