Power cable Advice...


Hi - I am upgrading my PC's from the basic stock to something higher end. Working with a budget up to $1,500 per cable (used will get me bigger bang for the buck) for the following products:

- Pass Labs X250.5 Power Amp

- Atma-Sphere MP-3 Preamp

- Electrocompaniet EMC1

 

TIA. Joey

Well if you are listening with lower end gear then cables will make no difference at all. That is why ASR/Amirs reviews and measurements mean nothing as the gear is all cheap garbage. @classicrockfan you are just here to make trouble, please head on back to ASR with your ilk!

@classicrockfan we can give you some snake oil before you head back to ASR so you can give Amir a nice rub. 

You got me all wrong. It took me almost 6 months to build my own monoblocks using the finest components possible Probably the finest power amplifier in the world (very "subjective" i know). Pure classA 200w/8ohm/channel, 400w/4ohm, each block weighs 100 pounds. Someone I knew in the field built a pair of speakers for me probably the finest loud speakers in the world. Unlike these oily trolls I'm here to help people stop wasting money...then again i'm not a man on a mission

Well if I had the best amplifier in the world, and matched it with the finest speakers in the world, I would probably just use lamp cord too. 

Any heavy gauge, well-made power cable will do. Cost is not proportional to sound quality. Don't be suckered.
