Power cord choice?

@rsjm80:

You will get many, many responses but you will never know what's right for you and your system until you actually demo some cables. Use YOUR own ears!   

There are cable manufacturers that sell direct with risk-free home trials.

Another option: The Cable Company's "cable lending library". One advantage to the latter is the cables will most likely already be burned in. 

There are extensive cable shoot-outs on the Audio Bacon site which might or might not be helpful. 

I have listened to several different power cords in my system and yes they sound different with everything else being an equivalent . Get a couple of and check out them out. the foremost expensive ones don’t always win either, but your brain may convince your ears otherwise.

Great. A guy comes on looking for power cable recommendations and some tone deaf Troll derails the thread with unsolicited, ignorant opinions. Nice.....

What if measurements don’t actually capture everything about how a cable sounds?

To the folks that say that you have miles of electrical cable that run to your outlet, what if a power cable has the effect of filtering out EMI/RFI?

I’ve had a limited amount of experience with power cables but even those sound different. One cable that clearly sounded better on one DAC sounded worse on another DAC. Can anyone explain how psychoacoustic factors would yield that result?

My contribution to this thread: Use the recommendations from others as a starting point only. I suggest trying whatever power cable you are considering in your own system. I would not underestimate the impact of system synergy on what cable works best with your existing components.

Here's what an electrical engineer who designs audio equipment for PS Audio has to say about why cables sound different. He's got better credentials than any of you. Commentary starts at 55 minutes into the podcast:
