Choosing a mains cable
Start with the connector. Your equipment takes one of four inlets. C13 is the standard kettle style socket, C15 is the notched high temperature version used by some amplifiers, C19 is the larger high current type on bigger power amplifiers, and Figure 8 is the small two pin fitting on lighter source components. The wrong one will not fit, so check the back of the unit before ordering.
Current capacity comes next. A power amplifier draws far more than a DAC or a streamer, and a cable designed for a source component can restrict a large amplifier on dynamic peaks. Where a manufacturer specifies a minimum, follow it.
On what to expect: changes here are usually described as a lower noise floor and better dynamic control rather than a shift in tonal balance, and they tend to be clearest on amplifiers and on digital sources with switching supplies. It is also the area of hi-fi where the gap between claim and result is widest, which is exactly why the 60-day money-back guarantee matters here. Put one on your amplifier and decide for yourself.

The AudioQuest FireBird Source power cable is the first in AudioQuest's offering to introduce perfect-surface silver conductors. The combination of PSS and PSC+ offers huge leaps in performance improvements, while maintaining a lower price point with the PSC+ conductors. The introduction of PSS offers the lowest distortion out of the three types of conductors AudioQuest use, meaning your system will receive almost unaffected current supply for improved performance.

From£2,350.00Ex. VATThe final piece in the puzzle for the Silver series of power cables. It has some of the “magic” of the Statement power cable because it came out of that same research and so is a smooth performer that brings your system to life. Which is relatively meaningless until you hear just what they can do for your system.

£285.00Inc. VATThe Furutech Flow-15 Plus Inline Power Filter effective removes all of that high-frequency noise from the mains power before it reaches your components—all without robbing your system of the high frequencies that are responsible for that airy, 3-D sound that’s so natural and lifelike. Dynamic contrasts, you’ll discover, are unaffected as well. Just stick the Flow-15 between power cords and components, or power cords and power distributors, and eliminate all radiated AC noise from your system.
