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 DH Lab power cords for all my gear - do not need/want anything else; yes they made a difference when I replaced the standard stock ones. but took some time to break-in. The Cable Company was running a 25% discount for one month on all DH Lab cords/cables...the timing worked well. Synergistic Research makes great power cords; last weekend went to a demo by the founder/owner. He was introducing their new LogiQ system = ground breaking stuff using AI. All the cables, interconnects, and power cords were Synergistic Research - great listening session. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=925303187157418

I have not used these Power Cords - but they look interesting & can not beat the price point. Anyone have these - seems all are built to order too = handcrafted? They would be worth looking at.

There website goes into great detail on the copper used, build, and why:

Let me know if anyone has these in there system and their thoughts...

Do you have any opinons on the audible differences between the following processes of cryogenically treating cables?

1. Slow-rate immersion (traditional)
The cable is submerged directly in liquid nitrogen (–196°C).  Dwell time at minimum temperature is typically 24–72 hours.

2. Vapor-phase treatment
Cable is suspended above liquid nitrogen and cooled by the vapor.

3. Computer-controlled ramped cycling
Running multiple freeze-thaw cycles rather than a single treatment 

4. Combined cryo + heat treatment

 

I don't do Cable Types, but I have had very good experiences through investigation of wire types used in a Cable.

To date, using a PC Triple C wire in a Signal Path has from my assessment been valuable to my system.

This same wire in a Power Cable with Solid Copper connections in the Plug and IEC has also been the cable to supersede typical Power Cables.

I have produced Cables using PC Triple C wire, substantially cheaper than a cable from a Brand using the same wire type. I would even suggest that my PC Triple C wire purchases are not too different from purchasing a similar surface area OFC or OCC wire. I am confident the non-use of OFC and OCC wire in my system has enabled it to become more resolving.    

One thing is sure, quality audio replays require an umbilical wire to Power On and to connect the signal path between the source and devices required that are adding gain, or producing the end sound. The wire type used is nobody's business but the user. The user does not have a working system without a wire in use, making connections. 

The Cable debate is another story and one that is never going to be settled. It is just a red rag to a bull for certain types, and the holy grail to others' interested in an audio setup. Is there a middle road, and another type who can actually stay loyal to their views without curiosity creating a leaning towards one side of the fence?
