Power Cord Flavors

Hi Grant,

I'm impressed you can actually remember all the power
cords you have tested. :)

Actually, folks, the purpose of the thread is for everyone to share their OWN opinions of warm & full bodied cords versus neutral, clear and extended cords. :)

I'd rather not go into more detail about Brand A vs. Brand B because I believe this is a system specific question better left to individual experimentation.

My list is offered as a general guide, based on my own listening experience.

Have fun, and please share your warm vs. neutral power cord lists.

Wow, it would be nice to have something like this for ICs and speaker cables as well. This could become a very nice reference! Kudos Tvad....

i would put silver audio wattmaster and ps audio statement as warm and full bodied, with vh audio flavor 4 and airsine as neutral, clear and extended.
i will have a mike wolff silver carbon source cord soon, we will see...

Wow, Grant. You've had more power play than Gordon Gecko in his heyday.

Of those I have tried in our system, I found similar results. The Purist Dominus was the warmest, and the most musical-sounding of them all. The Poiema!!! was the most neutral. Their IC's as well. The Z-Squared are also quite neutral. Great performance, well beyond its pricepoint, IMO.

The darkest (sort of choked, actually) were the Audience cords.

Great thread. A valuable discussion for people cable searching to get some bearings on the sonic spectrum. Naturally, results vary from one system/set of ears to the next. But as we all know, my ears are directly over the earth's axis of auditory neutrality. There, I said it. :-)
