Recommendations for a lightweight power cord
I own two Revel Sub-30 subwoofers. They are lovely, well-performing units except for one problem: they were designed for use with the lightweight power cords that came with them. Consequently, I have a problem with the upgraded PS Audio power cords I am currently using, namely, their weight combined with the size of their C15 termination causes them to fit poorly (particularly with one of the subwoofers the cord wiggles around easily for some inexplicable reason). As a result, the protection circuitry of that subwoofer shuts it down from time to time. When I use the lightweight power cord provided by Revel, all is well -- go figure! I have decided, therefore, to replace the PS Audio power cords.
These new cords will run from my Hydra-2/Venom Defender to the subwoofers. Each subwoofer is internally powered by its own 1,000 watt Class D plate amplifier.
I would appreciate receiving suggestions from other forum participants regarding recommended power cords for this application. The criteria is that the cord be lightweight and relatively flexible overall, that its C15 termination not be massive, and that it be eminently affordable.
Thanks!
