Budget Power Cords For Tube Mono Amps ?

I have tried SignalCable power cords. IMO, they are no worse or better than Volex. It's a matter of personal preference. From a value perspective, I'd buy Volex before I'd buy another SignalCable. The reason being I find the SignalCable PCs to accentuate the upper mids and highs, whereas the Volex do not. If anything, the Volex might convey slightly recessed highs. This is my personal preference if I have to choose one or the other.

If you are of a mind to DIY, Cryo-Parts sells excellent quality materials for a DIY cord that will cost you about $120.00 each. I built two five foot cords with their Cryo-Max II ac cable and Furutech cryoed connectors that bowled me over with the improvements they made to my amp and P300 a/c regenerator. I'd used some VenHaus and Crump recipe DIY cords made from Belden cable and Pass & Seymour & Schurter connectors previously. The Cryo-Parts are very obviously superior, quite audibly on a higher level of resolution. Knowing the markup on retail products, these cords would probably sell for $500 each.

Tvad, thanks for the input.

Photon46, I checked out Cryo-Parts, excellent link, I'll try that, thanks.

Rx8man,

Both our systems share some commonalities. We both have the Audio Horizons TP 2.0 preamp and we both have VAC monoblocks. I just ordered two of the Wan Lung up-occ "Black" power cords for $75.00 each. I am going to try them on my Vac amps. I am going to do a serious evaluation comparing these to two versions of Electraglide cords as well as the factory stock cords. Stay in touch and see what my findings are. After a few days of living with this new Black cord, I'm very impressed with its performance on a variety of equipment, both solid state and tube. This ready- made power cord might just turn out to be a terrific bargain for everyone.
