Power cord choice?


Hoping to change (or upgrade) my current PC in use with my ARC CD3 Mk2. Currently I'm using a Locus Designs Polestar and setting a limit $600 max. I'd like to find a cord that can get more micro details from the ARC yet, I'd like to retain the smoothness but, try to open the sound stage and get a little more bottom in doing so. I listen to Alt rock (Sir Sly, The Killers, Gargage), rock, blues using Classe CAP 151 integrated and Apogee Slant 6s. I know this is subjective but, I'm also doing my best to work with my budget constraints and I'm not going to change if the improvement would just be slightly incremental. I'd like suggestions to consider, please.

I guess I am the moron now. I’d rather trust you guys over Armirm at Audio science Review. He’s not that accomplished of a guy, I looked him up, He probably bought that $28,000 piece of review equipment off of the interest he made on his money this month after retiring from Microsoft. He’s probably bored so he decided to start a website. Here is his story.

I am Electrical Engineer by degree (and hobby) although most of my professional experience has been in software development. After 35 years in technology sector, I retired as VP of Digital Media at Microsoft in 2008. I am founder of Madrona Digital which is a company that specializes in mid to high-end electronics for residential and commercial properties. I also advise local companies in digital media and co-founded a company in that domain that was sold a few years ago.

Hey Polly and vinyl shadow why don’t you post your chops up here and let’s see who the group would rather follow.

Well there's a sucker born every minute :-)
High-quality power cords are worth it.
Power cords costing the same as a system are not.

Look up Furukawa if copper purity is important. Then buy a hospital-grade power cord. Compare the 2. Can you tell a difference?

If so, sell the spare(s).


Forgot to add that I had a 60hz buzz before that I really couldnt hear with music playing. Gone as soon as I hooked up the Triode Wire Labs cord.
I'll be hooking up my Triode Wire Lab HP Dig American to my Rowland mono amp for my center speaker soon.
