Power Cord on Parasound A21


Hi all,

I am waiting for a Parasound A21 to arrive via Fed Ex. My question is this. How is the power cord that comes with it and if you upgraded what worked well?

I am currently eyeballing the pangea cords.

Thanks!

I just put in a directed line with 10 gauge Romex cryo to a TeslaPlex and attached the A21. The entire presentation changed in my system. The detail and clarity is simply amazing in the system. Everything is more distinctive. The sound is less warm and could be considered bright; but perhaps that is what happens when you get substantially more detail in the music. Anyways a very, very dramatic change to say the least for only $300 ($100 for the TeslaPlex and $200 for the Romex)in parts and using the stock power cord.
Davea33, the stock is better than most I'll admit. I spent a little time recently with mine again, I sold the Ps audio statement Sc and was waiting on an AC12 to arive, my A21 is on its own 10 awg 20 amp line with a Ps audio Soloist special edition in wall Power conditioner the AC12 alone will take the A21 to an unamagineable musicality over the stock unrestricted beautiful sound!!Not to hype it up, but it is what it is on this one.
almost any aftermarket cord will sound better than the stock one. Even a piece of romex with connectors on the end should be an improvement.
Not really! the stockcord on the A21 was so good AA use to sell them as after market cables! It really is a good sounding cable.
Hello This Very high current design amplifier has over 60 amps on tap and the better the cord the more dynamics and ,detail and seperation you wll get .I am using after trying 5 highly regarded power cords over $1k
the Synergistic Research T3-HC it is actively shieldied
and uses high purity silver as well as Copper in seperate runs.
ALSO since their are 5-30 MM fuses all Time delay .the main 12A, and 4-8Amp on the circuit board The Hifi tuning Supreme fuses make a BIG improvement across the board
these fuses are all directional the main fuse arrow faces the front , the 4 on the board from the transformer face towards the back or direction arrow facing the capacitors
retail these are $90 a pop or $450 but the best moneys ever spent it transforms this to one clean sounding machine
Yes even better than stock ,But first make sure you have a power cord no less than $300 to truly do it justice.
