Powercords for CJ CT-5


Hi,

I'm looking at replacing the stock PC on my CJ CT-5 and
was wondering if anyone has any experiences they could
share.

Thanks

I agree with the other posters. standard cable seems to be the best compromise.
I have tried TG SLVR that I used to use on the prem16 and that adds a bit of treble extension (which in my system it does not need) and takes away from the midrange. Nordost valhalla just tightens up the bottom end and again the CT5 does not need it.

I agree with Cmach re the differences between ACT2 and CT5.

I am finding the CT5 is very neutral - in fact for me a little too neutral in the treble - any thing that I can do to soften/ warm up the treble??
Cmach. I have done 500 hours on it by now.

It just dosn't seem to have that old cj warmth. I have even changed out my cables to cardas golden cross and harmonic truthlink to add some wamth.

compared to driving the phono stage direct into the amps (using endler attenuators) the CT5 reduces the bass a little and adds a subtle but audible lean/brightening effect to the lower treble. It is the treble that bothers me most.

bear in mind that I like a warmer sound.
