Need advice for power cord on PS Audio UPC 200


Hey everybody! I would appreciate some experience here as I am getting a PS Audio UPC 200.. and would like very much to gain some insights as to other's experiences with passive conds. and the power cords they have found make the best fit.

I don't think I want to get into a ton of dough here... maybe $300 or $400 tops, new or used.... and likely less. VooDoo and Flavor are on the list currently, in that order.

I do plan to use it on strickly the BAT VK500, but am not sure it will be 'dedicated' to that end. 90%, though. (Depends on performance gain... and may wind up on digital components, but the goal now is the amp).

Any notions, ideas, and certainly experience (s) with passive conditioners and of course this UPC 200 (brand new), would be more than appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

How much of an improvement did you experience when putting the UPC 200 in front of your P500. I use an Electraglide Ultra Khan II Rev/Rev feeding the P500 to great effect, but never thought to throw a passive conditioner in front of a regenerator. Might you be on to something?

Blindjim,

I have your same setup and I'm using DCCA powerchords for the UPC 200 and going to the Bat 500. Why don't you try a powerwave first, under $200, and see how you like it. Don will give you a trial period so there is no risk. You will be surprised how good these are.

thanks, Dolfan. i had wanted to get with DCCA earlier but such was not the case... now i'm pretty set with the PC for the 500. got them from VooDoo. great stuff. I'll give that notion of calliling Don a good bit of thought. Chris at VAudio is also an option. Just want something with a very, very smooth bite... if you know what I mean. No edge at all. and not one of those 'articulate & clinical but oh, so dynamic' cords. Iron fist, velvet glove, and plays the harp... sort of deal. Euphonic. Full range. Open.
