Power Cords for Cary

.

I like the Synergistic Research T3 power cable on my 303/300... very good to the bass and overall soundstage. Try one through the Cable Company. I think you'll be surprised.

I have Jasmine Energy one PC's on my Cary SLP05 Pre,120S amp and my 306 SACD player and I did notice a marked improvement from the stock cords and they are VERY resonably priced. However, I have not compared them to other cords available so I don't know how others might compare.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences.

Cruz123, I am curious as to what source you were using with your Cary/Merlin combo. Cables (speaker and ICs)? That info might prove insightful if you don't mind.

Let me also interject that overall I am happy with my system and not inclined to make any wholesale changes. I've had a highly resolving, analytical system and while often times sounded spectacular it could be downright painful on poor recordings. So, I'm not going that direction again and my current rig is intentionally a bit laid back. I'm into the music as much as the gear, but more so the music. Hope that disclosure doesn't make me a heretic in anyone's eyes.

Still, as we all know, it's hard not to yearn for "just a little more", though I'm trying hard to stay off the audiophile merry-go-round. "Hi, my name is Frank and I'm an audioholic. I haven't changed my system in 29 days, 3 hours and 41 minutes."

Thanks again everyone.

BTW, does re-biasing my tubes at a higher voltage reset the "audioholic" clock to zero?

Fpeel, I used a Cary 308T cdp for a considerable time and later a GNSC modded RA Opus 21, which I still use in my current setup. I used Acoustic Zen Silver Matrix IC's connected to the source and AZ Satori speaker cables, which I still use along with a couple of Audience IC's. I will say that that the AZ Silver Matrix was a good fit with that amp, IMHO.

Thanks, Cruz123. I've been interested in the both the Audience and Satoris lines for awhile. Nice to hear there is potential synergy with the Satoris and my gear. With winter approaching there may be time to do some experimenting.

BTW, the Opus 21 is a very nice piece (don't know anything about the mods though) and I was looking for a 308T when I found the 303/200. Similar tastes in equipment maybe? Given how the 303 has worked out, in retrospect the 308T might have been too many tubes in my system. Wait, did I actually just type that!? Too many WHAT? Scrap that thought, OK?

Anyway, thank you again for the extra time. Much appreciated.
