Power cord for Cary 805AE?


Hi,

My system is all Cary (slp-05, 805AE, 306 SACD) with Kimber cable. Which brand of power cord do you use for the Cary 805AE?
Thanks!

When I had the 805AE, I used Black Sand Silver Referance. They replaced Cardas Golden Reference. The bass was firmer and not so bloated, the treble was more extended. The Cary's were stolen and now I have a pair of MBL 8011 Momo's with the Black Sand's and the same results. These cables can be had used at a reasonable price.
Tran, what are you trying to achieve with the power cords? I have found that you get far more benefit from tube rolling than power cords.
Thanks for all responds. I have little problem with the base and I've tried to improve it. The base is little boomy in my room. I moved my Jmlab 1007 into the room (7' from wall behind speaker)and the result is better but the problem is still there. My room is 10'W x 22L and my speakers are 23" from the side wall.

Anyway, I've looked for cable with tight base (less base is ok) and I'm thinking of Kimber, virtual dynamic, zu cable. Zu cable is the cheapest one to compare to the other two but I can't find much information about Zu cable. Has anyone tried Zu cable?

Thanks!

Tran, most people who do power cord upgrades say that the biggest benefit comes from "blacker" backgrounds and increased resolution. If you have a real problem with boomy bass in your room, I don't think a power cord will fix it.
Tran, I'm using the Zu Mother on my Primare I30 I have also had a SimAudio I-7 and the GamuT DI-150 with great results. I have just switched to the Kci Power Cord and it's smoother with the solid state gear. I have a Cary SLI80 Signature F1 coming and I'm going to try the Zu Mother on tubes. You will be very happy with the Mother over the Zu Bok as I also had that cable and the Bok is better suited for solid state. But the Kci is so well made with Furutech ends and not the size of a firehose that I have no problem recomending them. They sounded more natural than PS Audio, Cardas, and Zu.
