Xa60.5 powercable, suggestions?

[gerzom]

Hi,

I'm looking at upgrading my powercables on my XA60.5's
Any suggestions from Pass users here?

I'm using Audioquest NRG 1000 on my cd player and pre-amp, but I'm wondering if the pc's on a power amp are as critical as pc's on other parts of the system.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I am using some older Shunyata Anacondas on my 100.5's, and they sound better than other high end power cables in my collection. I strongly recommend looking at their current line up, and as an alternative, speaking to Ivan about Wireworld given experience I have with all their other cables I own, as well as the great deals Ivan can offer.

Crystal Cable Dreamline works very well on my Class A Accuphase integrated.

I've owned the XA30.5, XA60.5's, and currently use the XA100.5's. Have tried Pangea 9SE, Shunyata Black Mamba HC, and Kubala Expression & Emotion.

The Pangea 9SE was muddy sounding to me.
The Shunyata Black Mamba HC's provided a detailed sound, but was a bit lean to me.
The Kubala Expression were lacking in detail, but gave a warm sound.
The Kubala Emotions were a little less warm vs expression, but brought the right amount of musical detail back. Have been using them for the last 1.5 years.

I do want to try at some point the Shunyata Alpha HC's. I had one hooked up to a amp for break-in and noted that the sound was less warm than the Kubala emotions, but the detail was improved. Not sure if it will be something I like/dislike, so an experiment for the future .

Hope this helps,
Jimmy.

Black Mamba are pcocc
I use them and I also use pcocc by Acoustic Revive
Try changing your black mamba connectors to Furutech , the copper ones with gold or rhodium plating
Or changing out the wall socket for a copper Furutech in gold or rhodium

Nordost power cables made a big difference to my 260.5 monoblocks.
Greater clarity,detail,bass tightness with sweeter treble.
The difference was not subtle.
