The regular pc is actually a KILLER one 14 / , which I tested against 5 others for a stock cord...keep in mind that as a stock unit, you'll have to be inexpensive, and it turned out great...however, of course there are better ones...

Now, with pc's I have a hard time giving exact recommendations,  as there are several factors involved, including %^*#*%^*#^&$%  AC...most times it is more of a side step than anything else...

BUT,  with over 15 years experience, and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pieces sold and feedback up the yazoo:

Get the Groneberg Quattro Reference power cord.........to promote Groneberg's I'm selling it for just $ 95.  (that's right,,,NINETYFIVE, which is a huge drop from the European pricing) with Marinco wall connector and the Groneberg pure copper contact IEC's....it is a fantastic, fantastic power cord,  BUT, as with everything else, synergy rules, and yes, for many systems there is better out there for sure, just a question as to how much you want to pay for it.......

Bottom line: if you found something that works for you, good for you...if not yet, try the Quattro Reference.......as always, bang for the buck.....

$95?? Hell, I'll try one!

I just got off the phone with Klaus. He's so easy to talk with. He made me feel like we're college buddies.  :thumb:

Although I'm reluctant to use the salty lanquage Michael did, I echo his sentiments exactly. In fact, Klaus I'm pm-ing you now to buy two pcs and a set of ICs as well. Thanks all.
Cheerio,

Salty, you say? Hah! It was ribald if it was anything. :icon_twisted:

I feel bad for buying just one PC.  :(

Dude, you're strangling your amp with that power cord!!! You haven't heard what your Odyssey sounds like yet.

Ok - just to keep you happy I put Wireworld on that amp.  Now I do have Wireworld on everything.  If I hear some differences I'll report back.

just made a set of "flavor 4's" w/ furutech FI-11 connectors for my khartago's yesterday.  seems to be a pretty good combo.
burning them in as i type.
they are a nice step up from my previous Dh labs power plus cables with marinco hospital grade connectors.

the flavor 4 add a nice bit of blackness and detail that i haven't heard with my stock or dhlabs pc's.

i havent any experience with Klaus's PC's, i am sure they are very good too.  and they're priced right.  i refuse to pay more than $200 for a cord!

I exclusively use Shunyata Hydras in my system.  One for the amp and pre and one for the source components.  My Stratos amp and tube pre are connected to the Hydras with Shunyata Copperhead power cords (10 gauge) and also Copperheads from the wall outlet to the Hydras.  The source components all use Shunyata Diamondback Platinum power cords (12 gauge) and yes, I can definitely hear the differences.  Dynamic range increased tenfold and noise is zero.
