DCCA power cords... your comments pls.

Bigkidz' description of the DCCA Extreme Reference's sound is in keeping with what I hear. The Extreme Reference is excellent on power conditioners and amps. I own one that I use on a Hydra 2, and I returned one that I tried on my APL Denon 3910. Don tells me he has made some changes to Extreme Reference cords intended for digital sources.

What you need to know is this. The DCCA cords are heavy and stiff. Really heavy and stiff. You will have your best results if your equipment is close to the floor. Also, you should order the length you require and no more because you will have a tough time bending or curling any excess cord.

Contact Don with your requirements before you order. He offers some of the best customer service in this hobby, and he will do what is required to ensure your satisfaction.

I agree with Tvad and Bigkidz, Don's cords are excellent on amps and power conditioners. I tried a Ref 1 on a friends system, as well, and the results were amazing. I am using an Extreme on a power conditioner to the wall and two Ref 1's from the conditioner to the amp. I also use a powerwave 2 on the power conditioner for the CD player. I have never tried one on a CD player.

I ordered my cords a little longer, rather than exact length, this way the cord does not have to make sharp bends and you use its weight and stiffness to support itself. You won't find a more eager to please fellow than Don.

I concur with all the above posts. Tvad and Dolfan are absolutely right about Don of DCCA Audio. I have a unique situation where all my equipment is located on a rack, above a 55" rptv, and to say that positiong his cables is challenging is the understatement of the year!

Anyways, he offered to incorporate 90 degree bends at both ends of the the cables (with no sonic degradation), and voila, a custom fit that looks great, and I didn't even break a sweat. Of course there will be no need to remove them, they are here for good!

Thank you to all who have responded. I WILL try a DCCA.
