After 60 years in audio and going through many cables regardless of price, I can only say that the Triode Wire Labs line of cables are not only affordable, but preferable to cables costing many times more. Every time I audition another cable I lose the honesty and musicality that TWL offer. As with other speaker and I/C there is a break in period. Once done, the rewards are superlative.
Budget Power Cords, which brand to choose?
I know budget means different things to different people, I am talking below $1000 new and $600 second hand. I also know they are very system dependent.
I use an Ayre QB9 DAC fed by a Mac Mini and NAS
TW Accustic Raven one/ortofon 309D/SPU synergy
Modwright 36.5 Pre
ARC Ref 75 Power
Daedalus DA-RMa speakers
Bybee stealth power supply
My power cables are Lessloss original and Sablon Audio and very good they are. There appears to be a number of new small companies getting good reports and reviews, particularly WyWires, Silnote and Triode Wire Labs. I already use Wywires Speaker cable and one XLR interconnect, so that may be the obvious choice. Any thoughts on these or other cheaper cables I haven't thought of? Thanks
