Budget Power Cords For Tube Mono Amps ?


Looking for a pair of quiet, high current power cords for VAC 220 monoblocks.

I have a pair of Volex 17604s which are pretty good, looking to step up without going nuts.

Any great, bang-for-the-buck cords around or under $100.00 ?

There's a new power cord made from UP-OCC copper cable designed by Wan Lung in Taipan called the "Black" by the distributor Parasound. It is a 12 gauge design and a 6 ft. cord sells for $75.00 plus shipping. I just ordered one to try out. You can contact [email protected] for more info.
Rx8man,

Both our systems share some commonalities. We both have the Audio Horizons TP 2.0 preamp and we both have VAC monoblocks. I just ordered two of the Wan Lung up-occ "Black" power cords for $75.00 each. I am going to try them on my Vac amps. I am going to do a serious evaluation comparing these to two versions of Electraglide cords as well as the factory stock cords. Stay in touch and see what my findings are. After a few days of living with this new Black cord, I'm very impressed with its performance on a variety of equipment, both solid state and tube. This ready- made power cord might just turn out to be a terrific bargain for everyone.
