Power Cable Suggestions.


I am looking for a new power cable. I am looking into spending anywhere from $300-$500. I am torn between a Furutech Astoria Plus, DH Labs Power plus/cryo and last but hopefully not least, CullenCable Cross Series II. I just learned about CullenCables today and they look very nice. This cable will be used to power up a Naim SN3 or REL T7i. There is Morrow Audio which currently has a 25% off on all their power cables. I need a power cable asap. Any help will be very appreaciated.

I have a couple of "upscale" power cords accumulated over the years from AQ and PS Audio...nothing extreme really, and on a whim bought  a half meter Pangea AC9 that is laughably utterly useless. Garden hose thickness with minimal flexibility I wouldn't recommend to anybody for anything. I do use the generic AC cable that came with my Pass XA-25 as I trust Nelson, and sincerely think fancy AC cables are silly. I fear this comment has single handedly destroyed the entire premium AC cable industry and hey...sorry man.

I have found if you buy a once popular, but discontinued power cord used, it holds it’s value for many years...more so than with other cables and cords...

If someone claims power cables do not make a difference, they either don't have the hearing and/or the equipment to discern a difference. Basically saying...well, I can't hear anything different, therefore no on else can.

As to the generic cables supplied by many equipment manufacturers, they figure that the consumer will likely supply their own cable, so why include a fancy cable that would increase the cost?

With that being said, I like cables from Audio Envy, Ice Age Audio and Veritas Audio.

I too am running a Supernait 3 with a Teddy Pardo TCSE MK2, a Naim nDAC with a Teddy Pardo XPS Mk2 with a SVS Micro 3000 Subwoofer and I’m currently using  Synergistic Research’s Foundation SX power cords, all 10-gauge.  Some other candidates that I’ve used that perform well and are priced right are Shunyata Research’s Venom HC v2 and Audio Envy’s Ocean-Expanded.

Good luck on your acquisition
