Power cables of your choice, and why?


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

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. 

I was shocked when I first tried the AQ High Power Dragons on my power amps.

They are a buy once cry once solution, I don't know of better. 

The source Dragon power cables were less impressive however, but still good. I expect it's down to synergy. 

@sfpeloton I had that furutech cable. It’s very good and you should hear the difference. I also owned S055n with FI50 NCF and it was good on the amp. I eventually moved on from furutech but still have the GTX-D NCF outlets. 

@squared80 chillax pal. No one here is part of any significant problem just because their opinion and experience based on using aftermarket power cables don’t align with yours.

@audphile1 Your name has popped up quite a bit in my AC cable searches! It seems like you have tried quite a few. Audioquest Hurricane, Shunyata Alpha, Nordost Frey, Furutech, Kimber PK10/14. May I ask what you thought of the S032N and why you moved on? Do you have a favorite of all the ones you tried?

@sealegs 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...

Passion for Sound actually found that stock cable has better clarity than the Supra Lorad power cable by itself, unless the Supra cable is used along with its "power board."  Review the video for yourself.
