Power cables of your choice, and why?


After receiving a few responses to this, I'll include what I use in my systems.

Snake River Audio Takshaka - competes well with AQ Dragon and TOL Masterbuilt cables at a much lower price

Kimber PowerKord Palladian PK10/PK14 - Audio Bacon 2019 PC shootout

QSA Discovery - AXPONA 2025 - heard significant positive sonic difference in cable switching demo, so will try very inexpensive PC in own system to see if I want to move up PC product line

In one of my systems I'm using a mix of Shunyata Research Sigma X NR and Sigma V2 NR because they suppress noise and allow me to hear additional details and/or hear those details more clearly.

@lak that's how I felt/heard when my dealer lent me a Furutech Project V1 ac cord. Initially I thought things got darker but after a few days listening I put back my original cord and wow the noise heard in the soundstage was eye opening. The Furutech went back in and it was clearly less noise and more music. 

One that fits the equipment and has the right length. Try to keep excess cable length to a minimum. As power draw of most components is minute, I don't worry about cable thickness or anything of that sort. Poweramp uses Pass supplied cord. I trust Nelson did the right thing.  

I have found improvement swapping all other cable types in my system, but have yet to hear a difference with a power cable. I am not in denial or doubting it can happen, I guess I have not tried the right cable. All of my power cables are OCC copper and are a mix of Acoustic Zen, WW and Neotech. I have never tried anything in the $1K range or above, maybe I need to go higher.
