Accuphase AC power cord
In Europe, even top Accuphase components such as e.g. C-3850 pre amps are delivered with a low budget AC power cord. The reason is that any power cable for the European market has to be certified according to specific EU regulations, a costly process.
Question to the Accuphase friends outside of Europe: what kind of power cords are delivered with your components. Are there different quality levels in Accuphase power cords? Jörg

Do owners swap the supplied mains leads with "audiophile" product?

The power cord is certainly more than sufficient for the component that I own since its power requirements is all of 24 watts. Last edited by GaryProtein; 05-11-2018 at 02:00 AM. |

I've found this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/Accuphase-4...880?rmvSB=true
It's not an Accuphase cable, but looks much better as the cheap ones...

Which obviously don't even make it out of the box at your place!

Ditto. I tried both, and the difference was not subtle. Even my wife admitted the difference (she was bored by the entire endeavor, but heard the difference).

Unfortunately the power chords had a big impact on the sound of my Accuphase E600 as well.
I had the most success with Nordost (Heimdall 2, Frey 2, Tyr 2). The generic supplied cord was ok. A Furutech Alpha 3 did not work well with the Accuphase. Overall the power cord did affect dynamic, flow, detail and openness of the sound. |
