Which main power cord?

Cullen Crossover Series vs. Synergistic Research Core AC.

I'm looking for a power cord to feed my power conditioner. All the front end components get plugged into my Furman Elite 15pfi while the power amp goes directly into the wall outlet.
Does anyone have experience with each of these cables? There is not a lot of information on either and they are both comparably priced. Any feedback would be helpful.

It would be best to use same brand of power cable as power conditioner.
Nonsense! There are many great products out there from various brands that integrate far better than those all from the same brand. Take advantage of the opportunity to buy used power cords here, try them out in your system and then resell them here once you find the one that works best for you.

We speak from experience.
That's funny…..so do I. But I never get obsessed with any one company. And I do not get too carried away with any one designer as there is a wealth of talented audio engineers out there constantly improving the reproduction of music in the home.

The problem with running with cables from one company, or electronics all from one company, is that you get an additive result of colorations and flaws within that product line. If this works for you, that's fine. Even with products of tonal coherency, there is always a tradeoff between detail/clarity and the portrayal of space. Not one product yet gets it all perfect. So until then, we are each left to find a set of products, which integrate into a system to give us a hint of the qualities within the music.
