One more Power Cord Needed...Advice?


Currently my system consists of an Arcam CD92 player, Audio Research D130 Amp and Classe CP35 Pre Amp.

I am running a Kimber PK10 Gold to the Amp, a Shunyata Diamondback to the Pre Amp and the dreaded "supplied cord" to the Arcam. Any suggestions for the final cord and arrangement?

I've found the Audience PowerChord to perform well on my digital front end. Of course like any cable discussion, power cable threads evoke many opinions.....

Is this a great hobby or what?

Enjoy your search.
Ther is also a Kimber PK14 Gold for sale right now. If you like the PK10, why not the 14 for the CDP?

I replaced all the power cords on our downstairs system with NBS Omega 4 over time and it appears to me that there is a synergistic effect in using the same cord throughout the system. I am using the Omega, which is the Omega 4's big sibling, in our upstairs system and I find that the Omega 4 already exhibits many of the basic traits of which the Omega has in spades, at rather different price points: clarity, quietness, natural tonal balance in the midrange, extended highs.

The "downside" is that the Omega (and Omega 4) do a great disappearing act. What is left is only music.

If you check on Audiogon, you should find a good deal on the Omega 4s in the 300 USD range.
My CD player is the Lin Genki with billiant SMPS so it's a little funny with power cords. The only one that seemed to instill a noticeable difference was the Empirical Audio Magnum2. The images became much more solid and the highs smoothed out and got more dynamic.
You may want to try another PC of the same brand. I think you create a snergy thing by keeping all PC the same as with IC and speaker wire too! I was using seven different brands of wire and when I out fitted intire system with one brand things got better so I tried one wire completely at a time until I found the wire I liked, this took a bit of time but paid off. Some will agree and some not. There are alot of CO. that offer 30 trial on there wire so you have nothing to loose except your time. I also found PC of $400 or more improved system and all the $100 PC I tried did nothing for my system. I'm not thrilled about spending $400 on power cords but I wanted to sqeeze that last bit of greatness from my system and the $400-$600 list price for each power cord was the only way to get this. I did find all my power cords here on audiogon for around 65% off retail so the total wasn't bad considering I have 13 power cords! Dont short change your componets with cheap power cords, there is a huge sonic difference between the $100 range and $400 range of power cords!Just my opinion. Happy Hunting!
