Burmester 948. Amazing component. |
Using Audience 6 TSSD 20 Amp for my Pass 350.8 350ch sounds much better than in the wall.Depends on the quality of your unit and your power.Using a second Audience 6 TSSD for TT,preamp and CD player. |
Lloydlee and Ebm,
What power cords do you use on your Line Conditioners ?
In general what power cords do use through out your systems.
Many thanks

Hi Goldeneraguy,
the Burmester 948 has a fixed power cable...one of their earlier models. Otherwise, i have found i like Purist Audio Cables, namely their older Dominus cables, as well as their more recent Canorus and 25th Anniversary. I also have had good experiences with Mark Coles' Sablon Audio Power Cables and still use 2 (Oppo 95 and Velodyne).
The PADs i suppose you could say have a sound...certainly switching out with Mark's cables showed me changes. I like them a lot. I have spoken with 2 people whose systems i admire a lot who also liked PAD and only recently went to Echole Cables (their 2 highest levels...cannot remember their name). Hope that helps. Good luck! |
Audience 6 TSSD has Audience AU24 SE high current cord Pass 350.8 using Stealth V12 cord for amps. |
Thank you very much for this info.
Both of you have outstanding systems and yet they are completely different.As I am in the market for a conditioner and an upgrade on two power cords I thought it would be wise to solicit your preference.
In the past have exchanged e:mails with Mark re his Corona's and with Jeffrey @ HWS re the cords he has.A decision will be forth coming.
Thank you again for your reply's |

I have two B.M.C. M2s plugged into the High Fidelity Cables Waveguide power center using the HFC URR pcs to them and to the Waveguide. I have never heard anything that can compare with this. |
Norm,I'm sure I would agree if i had the oppertunity to hear these components.However they still would be way above my budget.
I do appreciate your posts here and over at WBF.
Enjoy |
I have a Pass X350.5, I didn't like the X350.8. But to each his own...
Anyway, I tried so many, many power conditioners with this amp including many that have been mentioned in this thread.
I found that just using a dedicated line with Furutech outlet and a high quality power cord gives me the best results.
However, I do have plugged in to that outlet a Nordost QV2. |
To me 350.8 had better dynamics,better stage etc they are both great amps. I don't have dedicated lines i do however have my amp on one line preamp,cd,and turntable on another line with FIM outlets and Furutech covers.My amp sounds much better through the Audience 6TSSD. |
The right conditioner will give you fuller body, a silky sheen and more bounce, but don't pay more than 5.95. |
On my 1st setup, I use two power conditioners Tesla Powercell (4) ->Tara Labs PM2 as cascade to feed my BAT vk-600se. The result is phenomenal. The main challenge was to find a good power cable with appropriate AC plug metal feeding powercell and Tara labs PM2. Both are non-current limiting power conditioners. For sources and preamp along with TV receiver box, I use same configuration, Tesla powercell+Tara labs AD6.
As for my second system setup, I use a Running Spring Haley which is a very good PC with Mcintosh MC402.
A non-current power conditioner is the one recommended by almost any amplifier manufacturer! the other important factors are power cords as in/out to the PC and AC outlet.
In the past, I tried shunyata Hydra 8 which was not bad, but I prefer Tara labs Pm2 and Ad6.
hope that would help. |
For my 115 W Air Tight monoblocs I use Bybee Holographic with great success and wouldn't be without them. |
I've also liked the Running Springs Haley with amps. |
Anyone still using a FURMAN reference 15i or reference 20i power conditioner?
If so, what are the major advantages between the (2) models besides price factor? Keep me posted & Happy Listening! |
Sound application comments? |
