I currently run Silnote power cords . I just replaced the 20 amp cord on my Power unit with a Syunyata Venom HC , I could immediately tell a difference . So I purchased 2 new cords from Mike Morrow . They are better than my Silnotes . But I needed 5 . Mike recommended replacing the Pre and Power amp cords . He said he recently changed HIS PHILOSOPHY on placement of cords . The cords had 240 hours burn in when shipped . I placed them as he suggested, and let my system IDLE for 24 hours . There is a noticeable improvement. Had I not asked, I would have done the DAC and the Pre. I think it’s a crap shoot , but I’ve had improved SQ with the more expensive cords . FWIW, I spent a whole day 3 weeks ago cleaning and treating all connections for all cables on all devices . I also have Hubble outlets . If I didn’t have an improvement, I would have returned the cords . Cheers, Mike.
Where to put my new power cable?
I just recently purchased a Zu Audio Bok power cable. This will be my first after-market power cable, so I'm not sure what to expect. I intend to use it on my front end component section. What I'm curious about is whether I should connect it directly to my Manley Shrimp preamplifier and then go to my Furman power conditioner, or whether I should hook it up to my power conditioner and then to the wall outlet? I know that, ultimately, only experimentation will tell, but I'm curious as to other's experiences...
