Power Cord Flavors

I forgot to add the Wolff Carbon Ribbon Source cord (copper version)...on the warm side of neutral.

Disclaimer: I have one for sale to a good home. With papers. House trained.

Others I've tried:

Wolff Source--agree, slightly to the warm side of neutral.
Van den Hul Mainstream Hybrid--neutral, great on amps, inexpensive.
Component Plus Premium PC--Similar to Z-Squared, slightly more bright, and a bit more airy sounding. At $195, this cord is also priced really well.
Signal--Dark, choked, similar to the Audience in our system.
Electrglide Mini Khan Plus--Neutral, more open sounding than the Wolff Cord/Z-Squared on the source. Great for jazz, vocals, not quite as good for rock, IMO.
Verastarr Signature--Slightly brighter than the Z-Squared. Not as open as the Component Plus.
Virtual Dynamics Nite I--neutral, though more closed off than the Mini Khan Plus, on CDP. Sounded less natural than the Wolff, or the EG cords.
Electraglide Ultra Khan Statement R/R--Every attribute of the Mini Khan Plus, just more of it.

Warm and full bodied in my system=
Cardas Golden Reference
Shunyata King Cobra V1/V2, Anaconda Vx, Cobra, Black Mamba
Elrod EPS-3S
Tara Labs The One

Neutral, clear and extended=
Virtual Dynamics Nite
BMI Shark
Shunyata Anaconda Alpha
VH Audio Flavor 4 Gold

These are of course, just IMHO.

John, this hobby never stops confounding and amazing me. A perfect example is how we can each have completely different opinions about the sonic flavor of the Shunyata Anaconda Vx. That's why it's so important to try these things in one's own system.

I have found the Cardas quadlink PC to be on the warmer fuller side of neutral and a good match for shriller digital sources. The signal cable PC is a good budget cable. However for the price, my favorite PC is the Van Den Hul mainstream hybrid. It is neutral and quiet with excellent dynamics and works well on amps and digital sources. It so far has been the best bang for the buck in terms of PCs in my system.
