Power cables for ARC VT100MK2

Franklapdog:

I own the VT100 MKII and it certainly did not sound forward with any of the Powersnakes cables. In fact the King Cobra, in particular, produced spectacular results with the VT100 mkII.

The VT100 mkIII has a slightly forward presentation compared to the MKII version. Could you be hearing the character of the MKIII version, which I have found not to be musically satisfying?

Gmorris, Anything is possible with this industry!!!Ya know it all boils down to what sounds the best to you....I happen to like the VT3's sound.Just remember not long ago when all you had was the crappy stock cords!!!Now,the audio guru from above has given us the pleasure of spending big bucks on what is really system dependent.Don't you agree?

Franklapdog:
We seem to have the same taste in power amps (to wit: ARC D115 mkII and the VT100 mkII) so we probably have similalr taste in the type of sound we like (hope I am not too presumptuous here?) I agree that opinions depend on system/personal preferences as well as room interactions. But, I found that the Powersnakes from the Sidewinder to the Blac Mamba, Viper and King Cobra to be fairly neutral in thir tonal balance (as you go up in price the bacground gets quieter while the bass and midbass improve commensurately with greater transient speed.)

Gmorris, I agree with you on the sound of the snakes,they are very good however for my not so golden ears,the bottom line is value,neutrality and zero feedback......It all comes down to that old ancient expression.What ya hear is what ya get!!!!!!

I have an ARC LS 2 MK II and ARC D 200 and both have non-replacable power cords, uggghh

Is this something the factory can modify?

thanks
