Best power cord for DarTZeel?

[KeithR]

First- have had the CTH-8550 in my rig for a month and I have never heard such good sound, period. Its not tube, but not SS. Just stunning, natural sound reproduction. i would casually say its in its own league . It has slayed a host of great separates in my room fwiw.

I am using a WyWires Juice cord and was wondering if there was a decent upgrade for sane money- so no 3k power cord suggestions please! The Shunyata Alpha was one ive been reading about with all the positive WBF press.

Cheers,

KeithR

Transparent Reference MM2. Good stuff. Kubala Sosna works too, Emotion or Elation.

Talk to Jonathan Tinn.
Evolution Acoustics TRPC is a perfect match for the darTZeel.

Which ever one you like. Power cord A in one system/component may not be best in another system/component.

Decided to go search for Kubala Sosna Emotion series after discussing with JTinn and folks. the right price range as well.

Now Mark ......there is some history with Kubala voicing well with Dart.
I will say a Typhon may be in my demo wheel house down the road.

Well, when I owned the Dartzeel combo I was very happy with Shunyata Anaconda Helix and an Hydra 8 ...

I only made that comment based on the many pages of testimonials on WBF from proud and happy Shunyata converts who have seen/heard their systems attain playback quality levels they didn't think were possible. I currently don't own any Shunyata products so I can't be considered as a Shunyata proselytizer. Because I don't have any experience with Shunyata products, I also have no first hand information/experience on how good I think they are or aren't.

As you now have ARC equipment I guess you will probably listen to Shunyata power cables and systems sometime in the near future.

Good move. I have all KS Elation cables on my setup.

The best in my experience by a large margin are Echole Obsession cords....

Hi everybody.
Received my (second hand) Dartzeel NHB-108 2 days ago.
Sounds excellent right out the box.
I am looking for the right Power Cord.
Auditioned the KS Elation (recommended in this thread) , did not sound right in my setup.
I was searching in Audiogon forums and at ran into a similar thread.
At that thread they told - ask Mike Lavigne.
The rest of my system is : Speakers : PIEGA Coax 70.2, PRE: NAT Magnetic.
My other PC are : DAC+PRE: Stealth Dream V10.
Interconnects: RCA Stealth Sakra + Indra.
Any recommendations ?
Thanks.

Congrats- its a great amp!

WyWires Juice cords work really well with my CTH-8550 and aren't expensive. I tried both Emotion and Elation cables, but they weren't a great match with my Zu Definition speakers. Cables are very system dependent.

 

[amiglick]

Right.
I changed different PC and the differences were significant.

Thanks.

Can you describe in which way the KS Elation didn't sound right in your system? Or put another way, what differences are you looking for?
