Power Cord Possibilities

In order to move the process along, I have e-mails out to Shunyata, Transparent, and Furman; the answers I get to my questions should help me get closer to a decision on what to do about either power cords or interconnects. Again, I'm not displeased with the Transparent HPPCs, it's just that I wonder if there'd be benefit from having noise-reducing PCs on the sources, or getting better ICs for them; no money for both! Transparent Supers are thicker than the Plus I have now, and they supposedly have greater dynamic range; maybe they're heavier gauge too.

I hope you are thinking of flexibility as sort of a threshold issue (as in, it's flexible enough or it's not) and not trying to choose based on which cable is most flexible. Having experimented a lot with cables, my take is that some cables in some systems can make a big positive difference, some negative, some insignificant, and it has been impossible to predict in advance. I've spent a lot on cables, but would never buy without demoing at home for a few days first. Good luck
