I would install Acme Audio outlets prior to any power cord audition. I have these installed throughout the circuit serving my audio system. After you have broken these in try some "good" cords. Marigo, Zcable, Shunyata and TG Audio are some brands worth looking into. Zcable's "Lightning" is a very good choice for under $200. I started my PC quest with the Absolute Power Cord and enjoyed the results until some system changes were made and then the Absolutes ended up sounding too forward. I have heard the Absolutes described as too laid back, so there are obviously synergy issues involved.
Will new power cords by my answer?
After years of buying, selling and upgrading, I finally feel I have assembled a system that's "this close" to what I'm listening for-but it's still missing something.
What I'm hoping to achieve is the following:
1. More resolution/clarity. Presentation sounds slightly veiled.
2. That elusive tighter bass.
I'm thinking new audiophile power cords-of which I have none, may be the answer.What do you think?
