Let's talk power cords


Does a upgrade really make a difference over a stock cord?

@samac Thinking my preamp, my amp has a fixed cord so it's either preamp or DAC trying preamp first.
Agreed jond-
pre-amp first since this the heart of any system.
Happy Listening!
I just wanted to say how awesome Chris Venhaus has been to deal with. I made a mistake as I mentioned on my initial order, Chris got back to me the very next day and refunded my money same day. He gave me advice on what cord matched my budget which I took. Emailed me the day it was in the build queue, asked my preference on which end the shield should be connected, and is burning my cable in for 800 hours before shipping. Truly exceptional communication and service thus far!
Yes, Chris is one of the good guys to deal with as are many others that I've had the pleasure to communicate with. :-)...
Hi Jond,
800 hours? Well you’ll be the recipient of a thoroughly burned in power cable 😊. I get the preamp "heart of the system" idea but I’d try it on both the preamp and your tube Audio Note  DAC. Most DACs are generally quite responsive to better power cables. Curious to know where the cable will have the greater impact in your fine audio system.
