Power cable from Audio Research Ref 6


I'm interest to get a ARC Ref 6 per-amp, and I heard the power cable come with Ref 6 is nice, it can compare with many power cable which cost US$ 300 ~ US$500, is it true?   Because Ref 6 required 20A connector's power cable, if the original PC is nice, it is not necessary to get another PC (At least not at the beginning).

On the other hands, what are the most common power cable are using for Ref 6/ Red 5SE in U.S. ?  

THX!

AudioQuest is a good combination. The new Hurricane would be a good fit and quite good value. I also get great results using a SR Galileo LE on my ARC Ref 40 but that is quite a bit more expensive. Most cable manufacturers will change the IEC on a 15A cable for a modest charge so if you get one used you can simply swap it for a 20A

The stock cables with all the ARC kit I ever owned were purely generic, fine but easily bettered (although I only ever compared them to power cords costing $2K and up)
