Power cord for low-watt tube amp?

Re: Mechans post above

. . . also SuburuGuru’s custom PC’s for my mono blocks . . .

With the purchase of some new components, I spent the last 2 months re-rotating my modest loom of PC’s throughout the system. Included are offerings by Sablon, RAL, Kimber Palladian and TG Audio. For some reason, the digital gear wasn’t reaching its potential. After much frustration, I went to the closet to dig out $99 home-brew PC’s, made by Audiogoner Suburuguru. These were for my e-stats that I had 10 years ago. Voila! These Belden cables with off-the-shelf connectors from Home Depot beat out the $400 Acrolink 7N-P4030’s with Oyaide connectors. Ha! So, if any of you own these PC’s by Ernie, give them a try on your digital gear. BTW, all the others sound great where they are.

best way to go is ask the mfg. what they recommend

Hi,  I have a power cord that is suitable for your application,  it is the xindak Fp-Gold,  has gold alloy conductors,  it's for sale here on audiogon,  do not let my price fool you,  I priced it to sale,  on the ad, I have a professional review of the cable,  check it out.

All my amps are tube and low power. Art Audio PX-25, Triode of Japan 845, Emotion Custom 45, and Eddie Current Zana Deux. Power cords make a big difference in these low powered amps. I have tried many brands and I am most pleased after 8 years with Synergistic Research power cords.

I really like the Synergistic Research Hologram A (amplifier) model. About 900 to 1000 used. Another cord to try from SR is their newest Atmosphere Black Power cords at 400 to 600. These new Black cords come with a 30 day trial. I think it is worth calling High End Electronics or The Cable Company if you are interested in the new Black cords to arrange a trial.

Glad you are joining the small amp - great sound family.

I've tried a few different power cords on a 8 wpc SET stereo amp. I got very good results with Triode Wire Labs, Shunyata Python Zitron, and a DIY cord made from 10 AWG finely stranded copper, and Marinco connectors. Of those three, the Triode Wire Labs has the most saturated sound (harmonically saturated). The Shunyata is a little more lit up and sharper. The DIY cord is more plain than the other two. I mostly prefer the Triode Wire Labs with my current set up, which is a $3000.00 DAC fed by MAC Mini. With a previous DAC, not as expensive, I preferred the Shunyata. So I would say get three or four cords to compare with. One will sound best for you.
