10 AWG Hi-End HiFi Audio Universal AC Power Cable Power Cord US Plug - 5FT (1.5M)

Great item. You can 100% hear a difference from the stock cable to this monster of a cable. Worth the purchase.

I bought two of these to use with my desktop audio system. I'll be using one with my Woo Audio WA6 tube amplifier, the other with an Emotiva XDA-2 Gen 2 DAC. I had power cords for both of these pieces but they were just standard old, cheap cords. I was looking for something more robust.I don't put much stock in the various "snake oil" sales pitches involved within my chosen hobby. I will upgrade a cable here and there IF it suits my needs. If a headphone comes with a 4' cable I need something else. If it comes with a 10' cable, I need something else. I choose Periapt cables in 7 foot lengths because I don't break the bank and I get what works for me best. I'm sure Amazon offers upgrades for the needs of others but I'm often in need of a cable with a proprietary type of connecter. As for interconnects, KabelDirekt suit me just fine, available right here on Amazon. I refuse to spend ridiculous amounts of cash on such purchases.I've read the reviews here and some of them leave me scratching my head. One such review says that this power cable sounds horrible. Does it buzz? Does it hum? If not, then it is doing it's job, which is to deliver power and to be dead silent in doing so. Mission accomplished here. I don't know but maybe this reviewer needs to do some cable management behind his/her desk. We've all been there before!Another review shows a picture of a cable which is missing some of the fabric around the cord. Mine certainly look nothing like that. I have no idea what that's all about. These are very decent, aesthetically pleasing cables and while the number one factor should always be sound quality over appearance, if you are going to own a gorgeous tube amplifier such as a Woo Audio, such a cable adds a certain level of cool factor to the entire system in my opinion.I'll buy more of these cables as necessary. I highly recommend them.

This cable is extremely well made. It arrive well-packed in a smallish brown box and an air tight ziplock-style bag. Surprisingly robust, and yet still pliable enough. Will not bend around sharpest corners, but easy enough to work with. A major, and I do mean major upgrade from a stock power cable aesthetically, if you care about such things.For me, at the price, it seemed like a 'no harm no foul' kind of purchase in order to find if there was a notable improvement or difference in sound. I've listened with this cord powering my preamp (Bryston BP-25) for about 8 hours now, and I do not think I am imagining it, but I very well could be, but the bass frequencies have more texture to them, and the 3-dimensionality of good recordings is very apparent.To be fair, I already had a good thing going in my system, however, this cable MIGHT have some how put it into the next level for my ears. Too early to give a definitive statement, but, one thing it certainly did not do is: degrade my sound in any way shape or form.For 40 bucks or so delivered, it looks and feels great, and might have improved the 3-dimensionality of my musical environment. I will keep it in my system now and continue to note differences or experiences with familiar music I've not had before, if any should arise.At any rate - it's well made, beautiful to look at, and, if there is a such a thing as cable 'burn-in' I do look forward to seeing if this 'burn-in' time actually does anything positive to the music, other than what I've experienced already in the first few hours.I'd buy another based on look and feel alone.

Cord is extremely well made and high value for cost. Heavy duty- and feels well made. Quality is excellent, and much less expensive than other 'audiophile cables'. Would highly recommend.

I really doubted that I would hear an audible difference by just changing out the power cord on my power amp. Very first song I listened to after changing to this new power cord and I could hear a more defined bass. I am using a Emotiva XPA-5 power amp that has 250 watts in each of the 5 channels powering very efficient main speakers. These speakers are 106 dB at 1 watt/1 meter. So it was not like they were starving for power. But that is what I would have thought after replacing the power cord. Having a degree in physics I tend to be rather analytical and had to grasp a valid reason why the sonic improvement. Two things came to mind. The first was the shielding. The power cord that came with the Emotiva XPA-5 is not shielded. I think this could be the reason for the sonic clarity improvement. The second is the increase in gauge of the conductor. The two together provide for audible improvement that really impressed me. One thing that I did not like about this power cable is its flexibility. It is very stiff. You cannot snake this cable around much at all. You will need at least 6 inches from the wall space so it can bend toward your amp or whatever you are going to power with it. I know, it is a 10 gauge cable so one should expect it to be stiff. But there are much more expensive power cables of this same gauge that are much more flexible. For less than $50 this is a gem. Exceeded my expectations big time.
