Which Power Cords: I Need Some Informed Guidance

Power cords make a HUGE difference in sound.
I would never have believed it if I hadn't
just tried them.

I keep trying different power cords. I ordered an
Acoustic Zen Tsunami to try out. Don't have it yet
but read it's a great powercord for the price.

Audience is supposed to be another winner but I haven't
tried it yet..

I considered the Shunyata Tiapan Helix but when I
saw to purple/lavender sleeve on both ends I decided
those guys at Shunyata are idiots. Like I want to see
a bunch of lavender colored cables when I listen to my
music. I don't know why others haven't complained about
the hideous color..

bump...
I use krell too.. The 400xi & DVD showcase.

You are 100% correct. Makes a lot of sense..

From what I have researched these powercords seem to be
a very good bang-for-the-buck:

1. Audience Powerchord
2. Shunyata Taipan (If you can stand the putrid lavender ends)
3. Acoustic Zen Tsunami
4. Analysis Plus Power Oval 10

I ordered a Tsunami myself but it hasn't arrived yet.
I'd love to hear if anyone has done a shootout with these
above powercords..

Tvad is right on with his statements. And in my experience
replacing the stock powercord makes a bigger difference
then interconnects or speaker cables. The trick is to
find the right one for each piece. I have a Krell and
a Unico Int amp and the powercords that each of them
like best are different and cross switching them yields
poorer sound for both amps. Truly maddening..

Upgrade Powercords seem to do some or all of the following:
1. Filters out A/C noise
2. Rolls off the highs OR tips them up.
3. Tightens up the Bass
4. Speeds up or Slows down the music's pace.
5. Becomes Capacitive which I believe is what increases dynamics.

Lot's of F'n voodoo going on here for sure..
