Which power cords should I look at?


I'm using a Shunyata Alpha Anaconda  Helix to a Hydra 6 with a dream State Veridical to my PS Audio Perfectwave  transport and Audio Art Statement 1 cables to the rest of my components with a separate Dream State to a Hydra 2 with an Audio Art Statement 1 to my Pass X250.5 from the Hydra 2. The sound is nice but I read posts of where people use 3K to 6K power cables and of course that would be an improvement but what might people recommend in my system. The Audio Art Statement 1 cables are DH Labs Red Wave cables with nice Furutech connectors. In other words I'm using 1K cables or less and I'm wondering what might be a realistic upgrade to my current cabling. My signal cables are Cardas Golden Reference and I love them. My system sounds nice but curiosity has me wondering what might be a nice upgraded cables in my system?

@stereo5 , is the dead quiet in your system a function of the power cables? Is that a good test of one's power supply quality? I also have a tube pre-amp.

Wow. Not sure how to respond here. Let me give it a try because I'm still interested in the answer.

First, I  do not remember that part of the other thread you are talking about regarding the "noise floor". I may have missed it. So I'm not trying to rehash that aspect and I honestly do not know if minimization of the noise floor is the same thing one would hear when the speakers are not being driven.

Second, I did not introduce the placebo question in that thread.

Third, the question I asked in this thread was asked in good faith and I'm still interested in an answer. We may have a difference of opinion but no need to project sinister intent into innocent questions.

Fourth, there isn't any way to respond to me in that thread as I  have left it.

Fifth, you gave me advice in that thread about changing cables and I said I would consider it.

So, in good faith, if you (or anyone else) wish to answer the question I have posed I would be happy to hear it and will not respond back to it in order to prevent any suspicion of naysaying or whatever else that might offend.

If you are talking about me then you got it all wrong. That was a legitimate question the answer to which I would use to help evaluate my system. If it is a loaded question then that aspect of it was completely unknown to me and it was not intended as such.
