I use Shunyata Black Mamba power cords on my Ref 110, CD7 and LS25mk2. Audio Research also uses Shunyata power cords for their setup at shows.
I agree with Lostbears. Shunyata makes great power cords. I would also look at ESP and Richard Grey. Their excellent, as well.
Thankyou,I have tried a shunyata python cx on a ls 15,and liked it alot.This reference I have jumped into a whole new league.Yet to listen to it,I wasn't sure,would the same pc,do it justice.The ref 5 is impressive to look at I must say.Thanks again.


I really like the Audio Research Ref line. I am planning to upgrade my preamp to a Ref 5 maybe next year. The VT100 I had used a regular 15 amp cord but the Ref 110 uses a 20 amp. So when I bought my Ref 110, I tried a bunch of power cords from a couple dealers I frequent. I like the Shunyata power cords the best of everything I tried.

The other thing that impressed me was that Audio Research used Shunyata cables at shows. I am sure that they tried everything available to see what sounded best with their equipment. The fact that they chose Shunyata just helped confirmed my opinion.
