Audioquest NRG Z3 power cord

[paul.oorbeek]

...just upgraded my 220pro CI stock power cord with an AQ NRG-Z3.

First impressions:

- it enables/provides a direct noticeable SQ improvement I've never expected
- based on a black background all aspects of an audiophile listening experience has been improved
- it fits perfect under the Def. cover
- by comparison with the NRG-10, on my setup, I prefer the NRG-Z3  - also price-wise

Setup:  Aurender N10 --> 220 pro CI --> Piega Coax 90.2
Power-distribution: GigaWatt PF-2 MK2 with LC-2 MK3 cord

 
Oooh I'm not sure how the pricing falls over there, but you have some options that will astound you for a few hundred euro more.  There may be less of an impact due to your power distribution, but the Z3 was my baseline cable with the 140 as I purchased it overseas and could pick one up at Best Buy...it went back once I demoed other offerings in the same price range.   There's something to be said for appropriate pairing, but I don't think the Z3 really lets the Expert shine, even at that pricepoint. I found that the entry-level Shunyata offering was more enjoyable and fostered a more robust sound (99 USD).

To which Shunyata are you referring?
