Power Cords

Try some Pangea cords, both the AC-9 (real thick) and AC-14 (thick enough). Audio Advisor sells these at dirt-cheap introductory prices with a 30-day moneyback. They're a lot better than their prices indicate. Good luck, Dave

"Upgraded" from stock to Wireworld Aurora 5 squared power cords on my McIntosh MC501 amps and PSAudio PPP. Didn't make one bit of audible difference. PC upgrades are a waste of money.

Ok first let me say on the subject of crazy expensive power cords...........

You know, I'm just going to leave it alone this time.

Come on Mac,tell us how you really feel !!!!!!

I'll try to answer some of your questions or respond to some of your responses below.

I have my system pretty sorted out. I will add the CD player that I mentioned above hopefully on Friday. Hope to do some room work this summer.

I really don't think spending $600 for a used Python would be better than spending a few hundred on cords to upgrade the lot. I have two Venoms, one each on my Hydra 6 and Hydra 2 already. My system may not be the highest resolving, but it does a pretty good job.

"Read "Shorten those lengthy power cords?" 2-08-10." Did that a day or two ago.

I don't really consider McIntosh/Shunyata/ML to be "beginner" but whatever. I've been into High End for about 30 years. But I can't be accused of overspending either. I'm looking for affordable high end products and will most likely never spend $50k+ on a high resolving system. In the end, I just want to clean up my system a bit (have Harmonic Tech speaker cables and ICs). That's why after many years of occasionally frequenting this forum, I signed up yesterday looking for some advice.

And finally, I'm not spending my hard earned $$ on "crazy expensive power cords". A few hundo to outfit my system isn't going to break the bank. But a few Pythons would...

Again, anyone have experience with some of these and have favorites? And why?

Now, who else has some constructive help for me? Thanks....
