Power Cables

Posted by Mike K (A) on April 27, 2023 at 08:38:08

I recently had occasion to replace power cables in my system. I had been using AQ NRG4s on all pieces. I am now using an Audience Forte (10 awg) on my power regenerator (PS Audio P3), and Wireworld Stratus 7s on my preamp, dac and disc transport (12 awg). The improvement in SQ is noticeable, but I do not know if said improvement is caused by using a larger gauge cable (10 or 12 vs. 14), or because the new cables are somehow better constructed and/or use better wire, or some combination.
I plan the replace the AQ NRG4s on my power amps with Audience Fortes in the near future. I hope the SQ will improve again once I do that. We shall see.

I have been - and to some extent continue to be - a cable skeptic, but I can honestly recommend these two power cords. They may not make an audible difference in your system, but they have in mine.
