which power cable for Pass Labs XA30.5


Which power cable is best for XA30.5? My interconnects and speakercable are all Transparent Audio Reference with MM2 technology, so i am biased towards T.A. However I have read that Acoustic Revive and Shunyata work well with Pass Labs. I would appreciate fedback

i have come to the conclusion that PC's work best for me on digital equipment and not so good on preamps and amps. Also, why change the way an amp or preamp is voiced? My preamp, dehavilland UV, definitely reacts to aftermarket cords, I have tried 2 and they both kill the organic quality of the preamp. One sharpens everything up and the other rounds everything off. Don't like either presentation.

Same with my Mcintosh amps. Aftermarket PC's I have tried kill the organic nature of the amps.

This is just my preference in my system, never tried mega buck PC's and probably never will - too many other ways to spend money on the system.
For me, the price of a mega buck PC is better spent on a tonearm, cartridge, even an excellent "small box" company like dehavilland versus tweaking the voicing of an amp or preamp. MHO - YMMV
