I'm with Sean on this one. Had some success using lower priced pcs on my previous cdp -Arcam 8SE and on my preamp's power supply. But never realized any differences on my Bryston 4B-ST amp. A local dealer advised that of all the amps he carries the Brystons are affected the least by the introduction of aftermarket pcs. I will qualify this by indicating that I have never auditioned any of the "big boys" such as Electraglide, FIM, Whale, etc so there may be pcs out there that will affect high powered amps. Try before you buy if you can but if you must buy before you try then give the "Asylum cord" a chance - good results for a $60 investment and the proceeds go to charity.
Power Cord Advice
As this seems to be the rage, I too have been bitten by the power cord bug. I am interested in upgrading all of the power cords through out my system and I was hoping for some general thoughts on a few cords at the top of my list. Likewise, I welcome any additions to the list.
Harmonic Tech
Pro-AC11 -Currently using all HT cables throughout the system with good results
BMI Whale Elite
With such great reviews and an almost cult like following, I'm curious. Does anyone have information regarding build specs (gauge, conductor type, etc) or the theory behind the design?
PS Audio Lab or Mini Lab.
I heard these in a friends system and I was impressed and they also got a favorable nod from Fremer.
I welcome any and all feedback/ideas. Thanks again for all of your help!
Currently, my system includes the following:
