... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY?


HELLO TO ALL...
Not really a discussion - more like a survey: prompted by a recent article about Power Cords that showed up in my browser. PLEASE NO DETAILS: NO IN-DEPTH REVIEWS OF ATTRIBUTES, WISH I HADs AGAIN, or WANT TO TRYs -
just component (CD, PRE, DAC, INT, POWER, SPEAKER) and Mfg Brand, and model (if known) and length

mine: CD: GOLDMUND /JOB SWEET CORD; 2-1/2 METER
           INT: JOB INT: PS AUDIO XSTREAM SC STATEMENT, 1 METER

Pangea Signature cables for everything (Cardas copper and litz configuration). Have tried other very expensive cables...and still own some of them. . Pangea does a wonderful job of what a power cable should do.
I put in an Ansuz loom -- power, IC and speaker -- a couple of years ago when the D1 level was being superseded. Everything was on sale. Time has moved on, but I feel no need to upgrade....
Furman AC215-A Power Conditioner - stock cable to the wall, Node & Amp to Furman
Vincent SV237MK Integrated Hybrid Tube Amp - PS Audio Jewel
Bluesound Node 2i - Nordost Purple Flare
Sonos Connect - PS Audio Jewel


Considering upgrading the PS Audio Jewel to Nordost Blue Heaven or Heimdal 2 (pricey) or Shunyata - Venom V14 (C13) unless an HC cable is recommended for the Integrated?

I just recently replaced Audio Art Statement 1 power cables to all components with Audio Art  Statement e2plus power cables everywhere with good success. The current top of the line Audio Art power cables are excellent cables which the same by another large name cable company would cost 2 or 3 times as much for the same quality cable. I am so impressed with these power cables that I am replacing all my Cardas signal and speaker cables with Audio Art Statement cables. These cables are not inexpensive but are comparable to cables many more times the price.

DIY is the way to go - if you KNOW what you are doing :-)
Try them - you'll be very surprised at how good they are

Hi all,
 In my small system I use:

Synergistic Blue HC on my integrated
Locus Designs Pole Star  on my CD.

Recently changed to the Synergistic and has made a BIG difference (for me).
DIY using Furutech interconnect connectors and Mogami cable. Power cables are 8 awg with Furutech power connectors. Speaker cables are 4 awg with Furutech spades.
Just added a couple of Audio Art Cable Power1 ePlus cryo to my main system replacing Audio Art Cable Classic which I am moving into my 2nd system.

I used Clarity Vorte Power Cords for my Aurender, SimAudio 700 V2 amp and Bricasti DAC. 

The Aurender is plugged direct into the wall and the Amp and DAC are plugged into the Nordost QBase Mark II (QB-4) AC Distribution Unit. I do not use a power condition, surge protector or anything else.

Hi unfairlane

"What makes them moore or less suited?"

Are you talking about the PC power cord specifically?

 Hmm, do you know what matters with pc`s? What makes them moore or less suited? 
All Anticables Level 3. Improved detail and bass over home brew 12 gauge cables.

Bluesound Node 2i…..Wireworld Mini-Electra C7

Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 DSDse…..DH Labs Power Plus

Wyred 4 Sound ST-1000mkII…..Acoustic Zen Krakatoa


Preamp and Dac- Furutech FP-S032N With F1-11 Gold Connectors

Power Conditioner-  Cerious Technologies Nano Signature Power Cable 
My amp has a captive power cord so that's it.
Transparent Powerwave ( 2019 version) with upgraded perf. power cable.

SynergisticResearch ( version 1 ) Master Coupler between  powerwave and DAC  ML 380S also connected to powerwave.

Just got the Powerwave.  More for protection for pre amp and dac, than looking for a big audio boost .  At first, that is what I thought I got.  Now that its run for about 10 hours, really noticeable difference in SQ.  Probably more to come.Very Pleased
It is more fun to me to mix and match than stay with one family:

Quick, somebody notify AudioQuest pronto! They have not gotten the memo regarding stranded power cords. I won’t bring up directionality of power cords as that seems to be a trigger.
DIY solid core 12awg (minimum) is the only way to make a 100% lossless powercord. Shielded.

Unfairlane, Unfortunately you are 100% incorrect. 10awg unshielded stranded is the only correct implementation. Everyone knows this...

For my three systems that have Pass Labs amplifiers I use Synergistic Research power cables, Synergistic Research fuses in the amps(nice improvement) and Synergistic Research wall outlets. Each makes a difference and together the improvement is a big step up in musical enjoyment.

boxer12,

I've tried Audioquest and Pangea of various flavors and my Bryston B60R Integrated Amp doesn't seem to care what I use to feed it. The power supplies in Bryston amps are quite robust, which may be an important factor.
Always replace OEM 18AWG power cables with Tripp-Lite 14AWG of minimum length possible. Have always found significant differences in interconnects and speaker cables, but imperceptible change in sound quality when it comes to power cords.
