@faustuss I pasted a link up above to the BOGO sale.
I used these Audience power cables on Pass Labs X260.8 amps with great results.
They also work good on digital. Hard to beat for the cost.
Here’s a review as well
Shorter length power cable recommendations?
Hello friends -
Recently I added a Furman Elite-15 PF i 13-Outlet Linear Filtering AC Power Source to my system. I was previously using an inexpensive surge protector for all of my equipment.
Since removing the surge protector and following the input recommendations for where to plug in components I have noticed a significant improvement in listening to records on my Sansui SR-717 turntable Just an overall improvement in the sound quality. Other components continue to sound fine. The real purpose of the Furman, in my use case was to get rid of the less than desirable surge protector.
My issue is that my power cords are all very long for my components and I have a bit of a spaghetti mess behind my system.
I am located in the US, I am using Cambridge Audio components - would you have any recommendations for power cord brands that are short? Like around 2 feet in length? Ideally a power cable would cost less than $100.
I do plan on making changes to my system over the coming year - for instance I have an Eversolo T8 streamer coming next week, but I think as a general rule the distance between my current or future components will remain the same as will the plug inputs.
A response - just use zip ties is also perfectly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to respond and I appreciate any comments you have!

I would suggest looking into Iconoclast BAV power cables. The prices for short cables are slightly higher than your $100 price point but are worth the extra cost. Their BAV power cable is pretty basic but made of high-quality materials. Here's a link. These cables have a default length of 5', slightly more than 1.5M, but you can get custom lengths (shorter and longer) since they are made to order. One note, Iconoclast is the high-end branch of Blue Jeans cables. Both Blue Jeans and Iconoclast make excellent cables at their respective price points and are made in the USA using primarily made in the USA Belden cable. The power cable is sold through Iconoclast only.
One comment on length, the 1.5M minimum several folks have stated is, in my opinion, not as important for power cables less than $100 that you are interested in. The length is for the shielding and other "tweaking" to take effect. There is little or none of that in an inexpensive power cable. |
Hello ctlesq, Suggest that you check out Emotiva XEIC power cable. It’s a quality power pipe with robust build and solid performance. I also assemble my own cables but the Emotiva is hard to beat at well under $100. It’s only available in 2meter length. You can check it out at https://emotiva.com Enjoy the music. |
