power cord for electrostatic speaker


Hi folks, I would like to know if you have some suggestions/recommendations regarding the use of special after market power cords for electrostatic speakers (Sound Labs). The power consumption of such speakers is extremely low, so I don't think power cords would have audible (if there is any) impact. What is your opinion? Isn't it a bit ridiculous to spend 2 x US$700 worth of power cords only for electrostatic speakers?

A lot of people with Martin Logan speakers use Blue Circle power cords. BC's Gilbert Yeung is also an ML owner.

The BC62 power cord is a good choice, but if you really want the ultimate, take a look at the BC68 filtered power cord, which was designed with electrostatics in mind.

BC has also recently come out with a less expensive filtered power cord, the BC86PC which is listed under power conditioning on their website.
If you already have dedicated lines and balanced power conditioner then try Morrow Audio MA 2 power cords. FYI, I have a BPT 2.5 for sale but have not listed it here. $875, plus shipping
I have found a diference with aftermarket pwr cords on stats-currently using lessloss--
Any power cord I use makes a difference on my clIIz speakers.

I am just guessing but, with your Soundlabs, you owe it to yourself to try all the greatest pairs you can afford especially if your electric is good.

I have used Elrod Statement II, EPS 3 sig, Dominus Ferox c, even the Granite audio 555. I am using the Dominus Ferox c now for the extra bass weight. I like the Statement II, but they are too unwieldly in the location behind my speakers. I would have trouble with any of those stiff cords and that is a shame.

I still rotate all of these cords around my system and use them in different locations. Wish I had more cords but I cannot afford more right now!

BTW, I use a SA linestage just ahead of the power cables and that goes into Elrod Statemeent to a Oayide R1 in the wall. Even the R1 made a difference compared to the Porter Port, which is another favorite of many I have tried.
