Synergistic UEF Blue v. Cerious Graphene Matrix Power v. Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano


Hi everyone,

I am debating between 3 power cables for use on my Pass XA30.8: Synergistic Research UEF Blue High Current, Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix, and Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano. I am primarily seeking increased transient speed, detail resolution, and bass slam. I like the effects of graphene in my system: I use Cerious Graphene Extreme speaker cables, a Synergistic UEF blue fuse in the XA30.8, and Mad Scientist Audio graphene contact enhancer on connections/Black Discus Nano on power cords, all producing apparent improvements.

The rest of my system: Bluesound Node 2 streamer > Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC > Krell KRC-3 preamp > Pass XA30.8 power amp > Klipsch Epic CF3 (rebuilt). Current power cables are Audience Powerchord-e. Interconnects are Audioquest Colorado Xlr w/72v DBS.

Which power cord do you think would be best? If you have experience with any of these options, I’d love to hear your thoughts/experiences.

Thanks!

Seeking a PC that can best the Powerchord-e under 1k, preferably less.

I picked up my Purist for just under $1K used.
Triode Wire Labs silver obsession is a giant killer.
very detailed, huge deep soundstage not to bright and not to smooth- just natural and organic.

My best MC to date has been the Sablon Elite.

I have Gutwire on test atm, they are good but mucho expensive and unwieldy.

Davids suggestion of TWL sounds good as well especially considering the price.
