Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?


I have Accuphase E5000 plugged into my Equitech son of q jr. balanced power supply. Sounds great and I have had the Equitech for a good 15 years now. Everything is dead quiet, not even a hiss coming from the system. Just started thinking about power cords and if it is worth it, I’m in the U.S., if that matters. Thanks

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this...

Why chinese junk? I try them and many more with me the results are great.

Pay 1000 or 20.000 dollar for a cable thats junk. Everything is comming from china.

@panzrwagn Yeas sir, that is the truth. Maybe a $5.00 cord, but they are the cheaper black cords with molded ends. 

@audioman58 Thanks

@riie Thanks, probably will

@lordrootman Just looking into something a little better quality and better looking, nothing crazy. 

@margaretha Thanks, which ones have you tried?

I have the odin rca the odin powercord and now i ordered the odin xlr

and the furutech powercord. For this money you never go wrong.

I am from mine 17 age hifi freak and i am now 63 i hear and have a lot of expensive equipment in the past. Also designed speakers you can asked in hifi evry price you want thats is with cables the same. Give it a name and put a price on it.

I would not go full-on and spend $1000. I like to make my own cables, and usually I but Neotech, so instead of spending $1000 I can spend $300 for a high-quality OCC cable. However, you have to know what you are doing, connect the wires in the right place (main thing to put ground to ground) and tighten them very well. Then if you are not happy about it, you could try the crazy stuff like Cardas and Audioquest
