    Looking for Power cord upgrade for Diablo 300

    For those of you that have upgraded your pc on Gryphon Diablo 300, should I be looking at Shunyata or AQ? Between those two which cords do you like and why? Which pc’s have the best synergy with these amps?

    Re: Looking for Power cord upgrade for Diablo 300

    I use Cardas Clear speaker cables and xlr interconnects to the Diablo 300. I asked Mike about a year ago if going to the Shunyata pc would be a good choice? His response was that AQ Hurricane HC pc would be a great fit. If I decided on Shunyata then changing my speaker cable and power cord to Shunyata would be a great fit. I'm using the AQ Hurricane HC power cord with the Cardas cables. It has worked well as Mike predicted.

    Can’t go wrong with Shunyata or AQ PCs but don’t overlook Nordost. I’ve had excellent success with Valhalla 2 power cords as well as Shunyata’s Sigma and Alpha (NR and XC). Very system/component dependent (alliteration unintentional) but with a device as competent as the Diablo 300 it’s worth taking the time to experiment. Jacksonville should have a dealer for both willing to provide a loaner to facilitate your effort.
