Power cables for Spectron Musician 3?

Hi all,

I'm just curious what power cables people are using with their Spectron Musician 3 amplifiers? I have a Spectron Premiere (which unfortunately uses two power cables!) plugged in with gold VH Audio Flavor 4s, and I'm thinking about changing cables. Currently things sound great, except for a bit of thickness in the midbass. I'm wondering if this may be a power cable issue?

I don't know about the power cable.

I made a post about the MIII SE on another thread that I can't find now. Stated the MIII SE has a bit of extra thickness in the upper bass and lower mids that sounded a bit muddy.

I will correct myself after trying two different cables btn pre and amp this week. Gone is the thickness. The more revealing cables were AU24 and AZ Absolute.

Check various areas of the system.

I should add, I use a stock thick black power cord.

Maybe I will try Lessloss and Shunyata, but I don't expect much.

Hey Bosrt, I've also found that the Spectron amps are sensitive to power cables... I had 2 VH Audio Flavor 4s on my Spectron Premiere and evidently had the same experience with the midbass as you did.

I am currently trying Fusion Audio Predators on the amp, and they have been a revelation! It wasn't even a contest between the Predators and the Flavor 4s... The thickness I couldn't stand has disappeared. The bass is nice and tight, and the midbass textures I was struggling to hear are now clearly audible. I got an increase in treble extension as well. Things sound so good, I've been digging out all kinds of music I haven't listened to in years and hearing things I'd never heard before! I'm going to be trying some DCCA Reference Masters on the amp as well, but so far I have to say the Fusion Audio Predators sound great on my Spectron.
