I know this is an older thread but I want to throw in more support for BLE Design power cables (available on EBAY - somebody already posted a link in this thread). Great guy making great, very affordable power cables. I currently use three of his design along with three Zu Audio (2 - Birth and 1 - Mission). I have mixed and matched gear and done A/B testing and can tell no difference between them and the Zu Birth cables (the Mission is new and I don't have any opinions yet). Versus stock cables they opened my system up, added air and most significantly gave me a punchier more defined bass in both of my systems: Tekton Uruz in the main system and Elac B6's in the bedroom. Highly recommended.
Power cable
I’m going to start replacing my power cords. Any recommendations where to start? I’m on a budget so I’ll need to purchase one at a time. I just purchased a Transparent Premium Powerlink as a start. Thoughts on the most critical area to put it. Should it be placed powering my Levinson amp? Initially I thought either it could per the amp or preamp or dac etc. This when I started thinking and realized i have a Furman Elite 15 power conditioner. My Proceed AVP 2 preamp, Ayre Codex DAC and Bluesound Vault are all plugged into it. The only thing, it has an attached power cord. If that cord was replaced with a quality cord, does this eliminate purchasing separate higher end cords for each piece? Is there a way to do this? Looking to be as economical as possible without sacrificing sound quality.
