Power Cable Suggestions


Will be receiving used Mark Levinson No 436 monoblock amps and would appreciate power cord recommendations, preferabley under $500, or stick with the stock power cords.
Thanks!

I refused to believe that electricity would care how it was transferred to my amp.  I had my Carver TFM45 rebuilt & upgraded to a removable power cord. I bought PS Audios cheapest power cord & it changed my mind.  Much better sound.
Look for the V1 versions of the Shunyata NR power cords for closeout. A lot of them are poppin' at the used market.
At first I used a standard WyWires Silver Juice II on my Pass amp then added the HC (high current) heavier version and noticed an improvement across the board. Nelson Pass is known for saying PC don’t make a difference on his amps but I disagree. I will admit I really couldn’t hear a huge difference until I added dedicated power lines which after doing so I realized my amp really opened up and that before it did sound a little lean. Still using WyWires and really like their cables. I’ve recently added a Platinum HC series to my Pass and again a noticeable improvement, more air and lower noise floor. If you don’t have dedicated lines then you might not hear much of a difference as some suggest.

I will add if you stick with the stock cords, in my opinion the receptacle outlet is maybe the place to start. If you’re a little handy keep the cable and cut the plugs off and buy some Furutech plugs from VH Audio. I feel the plugs are as important if not more than the actual cable. If you don’t feel confident doing this yourself, I’m sure you know of someone that can assist... it’s very easy. If you’re never done this before, just do one end at a time and pay attention to what wire went to which prong/set screw.
Hi, Debate abt cables will never END. And there will always be naysayers in such thread.
Suggest u blind test stock power cords vs some brands (say $100, $500 n $1000) suggested in the thread, n hopefully arrange FOC auditions. 
I personally use Transparent cables n power cable n synergistic power cable. Enjoy yr music. 

A BEL 1001! @roberjerman obviously knows good sound when he hears it. I might kill to get a pair of MK.4's.
