Malatu, I have an amp similar to yours. Personally, I would buy one master coupler and plug it in to your wall outlet and distribution box. Hear something? Hear something you like? Add the next power cord to the amp....repeat the process. BTW, I've never been able to hear much in the way of change from adding a power cord although I employ them on all my gear. Your ears will be different and the decision maker.
Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler on all Components including Subs Over-Kill
I've done' a bit of reading on power cables. One cable that keeps coming up in discussions is the
Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler.
Also, I read Nordost's Foundation Theory paper. https://www.nordost.com/dealer%20downloads/FoundationTheory.pdf
In this paper's information they state, "Consistency is King!" It goes on to read, "Use the same power cords to feed all the key components in the system. Once you have an audiophile cord between the wall and your distribution block, make sure that any further cords are of the same type or, at the very least use the same technology and materials. This usually means employing AC cords from a single manufacturer."
Millercarbon often suggests the- Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler. I've done enough research that with patience, I can purchase this cable around the $250 - 350 range.
A couple of questions:
1. Would it be "overkill" purchasing Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler for all of my six components that can use an upgraded power cord (my DAC is vintage and has a fixed power cord). If helpful the component are:- IsoTek EVO3 Aquarius power conditioner
- Primaluna integrated tube amp.
- VPI Classic Signature TT- Manley Chinook Phone Stage
- two Rel S/3 subwoofers
2. Is the suggestion of employing power cords of the same type and from the same manufacturer hold any water among the folks here at Audiogon?
3. Could the Rel S/3 be plugged into the medium power outlets of the my Power Conditioner? Those medium-current outlets deliver 1,150W continuous power. I gotta think the answer is yes, but I gotta ask! The sub's manual states it draws 22 watts at idle. I have no clue what current they draw at my listening levels. Not terribly loud.
Thanks!
