TG SLVR Power cord; substitute or something better


i've been using some tg slvr powercords for quite sometime and been very pleased.

its now hard to find them since Bob Crump passed away.

Can someone here recommend a good all around powercord in the $500 price range ? hopefully something as good or better than the tg slvr ?

thanks for input guys

I am a TG Audio dealer. I have no trouble getting orders filled for SLVRs and other TG cables, since someone else is building the products these days. As best I can tell they sound identical to what Bob Crump used to build.

Tplavas, there are significant differences with various types of silver. Classifying it as bright and hashy may be accurate for some but certainly not for all, and in my experience it can reveal harshness elsewhere in the chain. By the same token, cryo treatment is no panacea and surely some designers eschew it - Bob Crump was one of them.

I'll save you the trouble of contacting Frank. Frank was not involved with Bob Crump but came into the picture after Bob passed away, although he and Bob were acquainted. Frank has not made any changes to the products but meanwhile has been experimenting with some new designs such as power cords. If and when new products are available they will be listed on the TG Audio website.

Tplavas, the wall plug used on the SLVR is a silver plated Pass & Seymour extra-hard use spec grade unit, not hospital grade, while the IEC plug is a silver plated Schurter, I believe. Bob Crump spent many years comparing many devices and taking detailed notes, until he found the ones he liked best...he had a garage full of stuff that didn't work. That's not to say others may have other preferences in voicing, but my point is it takes a long time to find what works best, and the termination and other materials all affect the sound.
