Audioquest NRG Z3 power cord

[awkaplan]

Not just a notch, but a wallop. $300.00 vs $1800.00. Personally, I start with the AQ Z3 cord. A power cord that costs 20% of the amp is a hard pill to swallow. If, however, you are looking in that price range, there are many other cable companies that make excellent cables, and which may suit your system and ears for much less. Consider Wywires, for example. Or Analysis Plus.

But I repeat my own endorsement, and echo that of others, RE the AQ Z3 cable: try it.  And I say that after having trialed a Shunyata EF cable at home in my own system.... yes, really.

The Delta EF is around $500.  Excellent deal and synergy with the Expert Pro.

The Delta EF is £760 in the UK, the NRG Z3 is £179.  For dual mono users, that's £1520 versus £358.  So at UK prices, definitely more of a wallop than a notch I would say.  Also, a quick check online indicates that the US version of the Delta EF is $700, which looks about right.

I was chatting to someone a while ago who reckoned the Delta EF is exceptional with the Devialet, so maybe it is worth it.  I have not tried either, so cannot comment personally regards SQ.

Yes, my apologies for not being more sensitive to international pricing.  Somewhat telling, though.
