Power Cord suggestion(s) for Rogue Cronus Magnum III

Thanks for the responses.  I was told most/easiest chord to replace first is power chord on amp/integrated...the Nordost given to me for audition is $2000, and made VERY LITTLE difference over generic stock pc!  The Rogue Cronus very good for the price, was only $3800....I can't see spending that much for a chord on the integrated.  Can't help but wonder if "cheaper" chords will result in even less difference,  Changing speaker wires made a noticeable difference (Nordost Frey 2) but sells for $2950 for a 2m pair....I'm in sticker shock!  Am I crazy that I need to spend this much for revealing wiring on my system?  I thought recommendation is about 15% of total system...any thoughts are appreciated

Yes, 10% - 15% is typical. But very frequently in the category you are in, it can be worth not doing high end interconnects. Save money and apply to component upgrades. I suspect if you doubled the investment in your integrated amplifier or source components the difference in interconnects and cables will become much more profound. Systems are like scientific instruments… the better they get the more sensitive they are. No reason to waste money on stuff that does not increase your musical experience.

When starting out there a lot of ambiguity in what you sense. As your experience and quality of your gear improves the ancillary stuff will make larger and larger differences. Consider yourself lucky for now. Enjoy your system and then if you choose to upgrade your system… recheck to see how much cables etc make a difference.

ghdprentice, thks for your common sense response

After trying a couple others without much luck, I put one of these on my Rogue Cronus Magnum and it made a very nice improvement.
