Synergistic UEF Blue v. Cerious Graphene Matrix Power v. Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano


Hi everyone,

I am debating between 3 power cables for use on my Pass XA30.8: Synergistic Research UEF Blue High Current, Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix, and Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano. I am primarily seeking increased transient speed, detail resolution, and bass slam. I like the effects of graphene in my system: I use Cerious Graphene Extreme speaker cables, a Synergistic UEF blue fuse in the XA30.8, and Mad Scientist Audio graphene contact enhancer on connections/Black Discus Nano on power cords, all producing apparent improvements.

The rest of my system: Bluesound Node 2 streamer > Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC > Krell KRC-3 preamp > Pass XA30.8 power amp > Klipsch Epic CF3 (rebuilt). Current power cables are Audience Powerchord-e. Interconnects are Audioquest Colorado Xlr w/72v DBS.

Which power cord do you think would be best? If you have experience with any of these options, I’d love to hear your thoughts/experiences.

Thanks!

I don't own Pass but from what I've read, isn't the consensus that after market power cords don't do much for the sound? Hasn't Mr. Pass commented his amp designs and "build" don't need an aftermarket cord? Pass owners will chime in I'm sure, I'd like to be enlightened.
