I just bought an Accuphase C-2400 and A-60 pre/power combo and am looking to change power cords.I am currently using an Oyaide Tunami power cable for the pre, Siltech SPX30 (with Oyaide 046 and 079 plugs) for the CD player (Accuphase DP55V) and a very short run of Acrolink 4030 (with Oyaide 046 plugs) for the amp. I'm thinking that I may be able to do better for the pre and amp power cords. The system sounds pretty decent now, but I'm looking to improve resolution yet not lose weight and impact.
Things that I'm considering include Cardas Golden Reference, AET SIN AC, and Analysis plus Oval (these are mostly for the preamp), VDH mainstream and Power Snake Taipan (choices for the power amp). Hopefully the power amp wire should not be too unwieldy as the space behind the rack is not all that roomy. Another thought is that I can exchange the JPS Power AC at my Furutech power bar with the 4030 at the power amp (or cut the very long JPS and make 2 cables out of it for the powerbar and the power amp), although that would require a little plug changing operation (the JPS has UK13A plug and the 4030 uses US plug).
FYI, I'm using Karhma Supreme Reference (CD-Pre) and XLO Unlimited (Pre Power) as interconnects and two runs of Monitor Kabel (Inacustik) Black and White LS1200 as speaker cables. Speakers are Dali MS4.
Any suggestions would be very much welcomed.
Follow Ups:
My humble opinion is more simple the better that you should stick with the same brand cable. If you are a fan of Acrolink and Oyaide then it may be a good idea to use them throughout your system. You would achieve a sense of harmony that can't be duplicated by different brands - too complex so it is very difficult to predict result.A former user of Accuphase C2800/M8000 and a current user of its SACD player, I would recommend against any silver cables or silver plated cable. Accuphase, as you would notice, is lightening fast, so they don't add up to good result. If you read past review of Stereophile on M2000, J10 the reviewer mentioned that Cardas was an excellent fit to Accuphase. Cardas GF is ultra-quiet, and it produces no coloration to the sound. Afterall, this should be the goal of cables -- making themselves disappear from the system.
PS: better upgrade for your Accuphase front-end would be a PS Audio power plant. It makes a significant improvement.
Thanks.BTW, do you mean Golden Reference when you were stating Cardas GF?
Love them !
