Rega Saturn R power cord {stock} wanted to upgrade to better quality power cord

Analysis Plus Pro Oval, around 100 bucks on internet all day long, patented oval conductor design, Wattgate connectors. Cannot beat with stick.

The AC-12 is a 8 gauge power cable which is better served for use with a high current component, such as an amp. A CDP or DAC draws a low amount of current. Plus the 12 is very thick and hard to work with behind a rack.
  Would not trust Ebay especially when there are authorized PSA dealers online.

Cullen also builds excellent PC's. You need to consult with Patrick for the best cable to suit your needs. Great guy.

I have the REGA ISIS valve spinner and REGA OSIRIS integrated amp..... both came with the REGA Reference mains cable.

Ive auditioned them A-B swap-out with a bevy of both high priced and mid-priced 3rd party offerings  to this power cord. It is very well constructed and a fine performer , made by KLOTZ in Germany for REGA.

I stood them up against a bevy of $1000 power cords including OYAIDE , FURUTECH, ATLAS, ECOSSE, LFD , DIY with the top FURUTECH components , SHUNYATA and about another dozen in the $500 range including PS Audio, Audioquest blah blah

In all cases, tbe REGA was at least the equal and frequently actually better than all these contenders and pretenders...full stop.

my take: If your new REGA gear has the same power cable, just forget the fear and paranoia of thinking that a new 3rd party will get to a new perform level. You are wasting your money.

aka_ca   Can you put up a pic of your power cord from your Rega to compair to mine? Thanks

PS

in my chats with my local dealer, they highlighted to me that certain high end electronics from UK and Euro brands ( including inter alia LINN, NAIM, LFD and REGA ) perform at their max with their own proprietary power cable offerings, independent of price and whistles and bells when compared to the expensive 3rd party contenders and pretenders

As a dealer he said that REGA, LFD, NAIM, and LINN are all sensitive in like manner

My experience with my REGA cdp and amp confirmed the same. (Dealer was actually onsite at my home with the 3rd party cables when we did the first wave of A-B swap-in swap-out shoot-outs and bake- offs) .

Let’s remember the REGA Reference power cord is a $200 range cable quality build accessory ... so don’t get fooled into stepping down to SIGNAL or like budget cables

."Thickness" and similar isolated hype metrics are meaningless and mean squat. REGA’s own is the only one that I would pair up with REGA gear.

FWIW, I still use my quality build and fine performer LFD, ATLAS and DIY top-component FURUTECH power cables as fine performers in my "B" system.
