Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord.

Thanks everyone. Quite an informative conversation. I will search out the Cable Company and compare a few after I get my GIK art panels in about 4 weeks. @Johna5, I sometimes wonder the same thing about having financial incentives to recommend a particular brand.

By the way, I am curious if any thoughts on my current Kimber pK 10’s. Are these decent? I think they were on Stereophile magazines recommended list several years ago.

I did comparison between AQ Robin Hood Speaker cables and a no name brand. I heard a diff in the highs and had a friend listen who heard the same difference.  I didn't tell him what I hear first.  Anyway there is a diff in sound but subtle. 

What sound do you prefer (hyper detailed or warm leaning).  What are the other components and to your ear are you hearing more warmth or more detail and which way to you want to go.  That will help you a lot in narrowing choices

Hard for me to articulate, but I like a lot of detail, but prefer a warmer overall sound. I feel my Mac’s help out with my B&W 802d3’s, as at times the highs can sound sharp on some recordings. However, the B&W’s are also very detailed. I also use a Lumin x1 for streaming, which is also super detailed and dynamic.

I also worked with Jason and he recommended trying the SR Foundation cables. I demo’d 3 different brands and I immediately noticed the SR was the best of the bunch. I now have SR Foundation speaker cables and interconnects. I haven’t gotten the upgraded power cables yet. 

@bwguy so in that case more detail would be not good?  If so then try cables that don't add to the detail and push the system in that direction.

I have been going through a similar experience where my Esoteric DAC/Streamer was detailed and my pass labs XA25 was warm leaning. Seems to always be a balance between detail and warmth and selecting components/cables etc that add to either side of the equation.

I love this stuff!
