Power Cable Shootout...

By the way, why didn't you "qualify" for the Cable Company's library demo program?

Here are 6 cables I have heard in my system on my amp that you could easily do a shoot out with:

Purist Audio Dominus (Ferrox)
Stealth M5000
Lessloss
Tel Wire
Acoustic Revive
TRL (formerly CRL/FIM) Silver

The pricing varies, most are available used, some are available new with a trial period, all will have their plusses and minuses, and all results will be system dependent.

Since you have stated using this on your amp, I'd suggest a PC capable of delivering high current. Other than that have some fun with it and see what works best for you.

I'm sure others here will give you some ideas on other cables to try and you should easily come up with a list of 5 or so.

I live in Canada, according to their site anyone outside of the US does not qulify for cable demo. :-(

Some good recommendations above. Some can be auditioned with a return privilege (TelWire for example).

IMO, it's best to stick with brands that have strong demand so re-sale is easier. Shunyata, Purist Audio, Transparent, Cardas, Audience, JPS Labs, Kimber, etc. (this list is not exhaustive by any means). Take a look at the classifieds and you'll see which brands have the most for sale.

6Sons Audio in Canada makes some good power cables. They might offer a home trial.

Popularity of an item is a good thing but it comes with a caveat. It means some greater degree of competition.... if there's a dozen of the same thing being sold which one sells first? Or at all? .. and then there's that Why is everyone selling? the latter I suppose is due to preffs.

Voodoo power cables list and sell near immediately. That says something I do believe.

Being popular oriented also diminishes one's list of items to be considered. contention that a certain price point will provide a certain result is sometimes just to fantastic... and again will eliminate some perhaps worthwhile entries of a bit less or more expensive tags.

Good luck
