Power cables of your choice, and why?


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

Nobody is part of any problem except most of the times those attacking others because they are part of an alleged "problem". Speech is made to spoke in plain light not to denounced people behaviour  in gang or parties herd call for  assembly around us.(like objectivist against subjectivist narrow mind thinking) 

Binary thinking is a plague of the mind, it is why some as Peirce and Tesla and mystics were so fond of the number three.My beloved number 6 is made of the same ilk as three being the first perfect number. I will not go further here in this matter.

Using some others cable of higher design,or cost is not a crime against humanity, not even a crime against reason, let call this an experiment for our hearing. Ask for a double blind test on yourself and let other to make love with no protection against disease or hallucinations of love.

 

I use the power cables that come with my equipment because power cables don’t change the sound. Anyone who says otherwise is part of the problem in this hobby. 

 

I am using Supra LoRad 3x2.5 power cords for my DAC and preamp.  They provided substantial improvement over the stock power cords provided by Krell and Rowland, respectively.  At <$100 each, they are hard to beat in cost/performance.  Much better low volume detail.  Listening sessions are no longer fatiguing.  I did not try other similarly priced power cords.  I don’t doubt that they can provide similar quality improvements.  I’m just very happy with what I have.  
 

Originally, I tried the power cords with the intent of upgrading my DAC.  I haven’t upgraded the DAC yet.  

I have never heard a major impact from the power cables I have tried, although I also probably haven't done an extremely careful comparison. Nevertheless, this is a hobby for me and I am always looking to find small improvements. I just ordered a Furutech S032N 12 gauge cable with FI-50 NCF connectors. After doing some research, I feel like I should at least hear some difference with this cable and I plan on trying it with both my Audionet amp and LTA preamp. I was also considering the Shunyata Delta/Theta cables and Kimber PK10/14 that audiophile1 tried. 

I should also note that my above comment applies to AC cables.  One of the best value improvements I have made in my system was from adding a Mundorf Silver/Gold DC cable to power my Sonore Optical module. That brought a really nice and noticeable uptick in sound quality.

Yup, agreed.  I also noticed a decent Linear power supply (LPS) with an audiophile DC cable were worth the investment for sound improvement on my Volumio Rivo+ streamer.
