Harmonic Tech Pro AC-11 vs Acoustic Zen Tsunami


Same zero crystal pure copper, same guage wire, same father (Robert Lee) but HT costs $260 vs $350 for the AZ's on a 2M run. Does anybody have experience with both these power cords and are the AZ's worth the extra costs (sounds better)?

I would get Audience powerChord instead of either one of those. I haven't heard the HT cable, but Tsunami isn't anything to write home about. You can actually pick up a Shunyata Taipan Alpha in that length for same money. And it would be a better choice.
Thanks for the compliment on a system.

It actually depends on which component you use the cord. Out of the 2 I would use Audience powerChord on a digital component and Taipan Alpha on the amp or preamp. Although Taipan is very good on digital as well. Depends what you prefer, what component. There is no substitute for experimenting, espeically when it comes to power cords.

But in any case, I can't really see either of the cords you mentioned competing with either the Taipan or the Audience.

Good luck
I had a DNA-0.5 Deluxe. And DNA-125 and DNA-225. Shunyata or Audience works very good with McCormack amps. I tried Flavor 4 and liked it less than the Shunyata or Audience.

Taipan helix Alpha is new version.

I think Taipan Alpha is copper. Audience is as well. Taipan has some kind of plating on conectors. Shunatya power cords are excellent. Don't worry what they're made off. Just try one.
