Power Cord Recommendation for Bryston 4B SST2


I wondering if anyone can share what power cables they've had success pairing with a Bryston 4B SST or SST2. I've tried a few different - Signal Cable, Harmonic Tech, and Audio Sensibility. Each is fairy good with different strengths - with the Audio Sensibility "statement" being the best overall so far. I'm looking to spend from $100-500 and comfortable purchasing new or used. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks for the help,

I think they recommend not using a power conditioner. They did not mention power cords.
I have the Bryston 4BSST2 and use a PS Audio Perfectwave AC-5 on it with with very good results.
I use a Pangea AC-9 powercord, via a Furman REF20i powerconditioner on my Bryston 4B-SST2 amp.
And Bryston certainly does suggest using thier in-house TORUS power conditioners with Bryston amps.
Maybe if they made an aftermarket powercord, they would suggest that too.
Bryston's take on power cords for their amps and preamps...

It's the email response an Audiogon member received after inquiring about power cord he lost while moving.

"In general, Bryston has seen no reason to use anything other than a high-quality AWG 14 cord with an IEC connector and three-prong plug. We can supply these (which are original equipment) for $15 each + a small shipping charge.

Some customers seem absolutely determined to spend insane amounts of money on "special" power cords; after spending that money, can their assessment of what they gained be trusted?

If you can't find AWG 14 standard cords in your area, contact us to order one.

Following was his email question,

Hi

I'm using 3B SST and 5B ST for stereo and HT.

While moving, I lost the power cords supplied by
Bryston, so I'm currently using some cheap unknown
power cords. I was thinking about getting some nice
aftermarket power cords, so I didn't bother to find it
hard.

What do you reccomend?

The one I'm considering is PS Audio Prelude.

Will using good after market power cords imporve or
reduce the amp performance?

Is the power cord supplied by Bryston supposed to
perform the best for the amp? Should I try to get
power cords from Bryston if they are lost?

Thanks.
