Power Cord Recommendation for Bryston 4B SST2


I wondering if anyone can share what power cables they've had success pairing with a Bryston 4B SST or SST2. I've tried a few different - Signal Cable, Harmonic Tech, and Audio Sensibility. Each is fairy good with different strengths - with the Audio Sensibility "statement" being the best overall so far. I'm looking to spend from $100-500 and comfortable purchasing new or used. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks for the help,

James Tanner of Bryston has said several times to use whatever you think sounds best. He's also said its stupid to tell someone what they hear or don't hear. I'm paraphrasing a bit. With that being said, he's also asked how the last few feet of power cabling will make a difference when there's far more in the wall and outside your home. I read all this at the Bryston Circle on Audio Circle.

Bryston has a relationship with Torus. I think they're Torus's distributor. Torus is made by Plintron, which is who makes Bryston's (and I believe several others') power transformers. The Torus units have a power transformer inside them; they're not a bunch of resistors and other components that suck the life out of your music.

I use a Shunyata Diamondback Platinum with my Bryston B60. It's not a jaw dropping difference like hifi rags claim cables are, but I easily like it enough to keep in my system. To my ears, it was an across the board improvement with no compromises. That doesn't mean it transformed my system by any means though.
