RECOMMENDED AC / POWER CORDS
Why do we sell and advise quality AC-power cords? Because our amps is very revealing. What power feeding our amps will change the sound greatly. Or even where our amp sits (the type of material, or what footers is using), can change the sound alot. Now - the electricity doesn’t just power your amp - the quality of it also have a direct changes to the sound quality (because electricity generates the signal/aka music!). Sometimes the potential was really limited by this one-piece item even the rest of the associate equipment’s are top-notch (The rectifier tube too, like the power-cord, most people just think both items are just a working-part, but indeed they are a important part of making the “high end sound”).
And here is the top-3 cords we recommended, in different price category.

We’ve tried over a dozen of others plugs and different combinations - different levels , different materials , silver , gold , rhodium …etc. They all have pros and cons. And we select this plug because the un-plated pure copper finish conductor sounded just right (flawless ) , with no sound change or constraint issue detected like some others we tried. Some are day and night different as soon we swap them on to the same cable - a pair of plugs were near $1,000 , and it just did too good of a filtering job ( all the highs were rolled off / filtered down , the bass also became blurry and lack punch / extension) . The power-wire is also faultlessly good in all aspects , from thickness , build quality , to the sound that will unleash the potential of our amps.
For our EUROPE customers, this Furutech F1-E11(Cu) SCHUKO plug will be used.
