evil c Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Item: Power cable 2m IEC Price Range: up to $500 Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: currently using a combo of Isotek and Nordost power cables for my system and need a longer one (2m) to reach my power amplifier. Please let me know if you have something suitable, similar to above brands or others like Furutech, MusicCord Pro, etc. Needs to be capable of providing high current to my amplifier.

Ittaku Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 May be below the paygrade you're looking at but they certainly fit the bill in my eyes and are a local made steal for their price instead. https://audioprincipe.com.au/australian-power-cables/signature-shielded-power-cable/ Furutech connectors and 14mm diameter shielded cable with 3x 2.5mm pure copper conductors making them suitable for high current. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it actually looks like a good match to me, if I can spend less and still obtain a quality power cable - then all the better! Have you tried these out yourself, Con?

You can option them "up" with rhodium for what it's worth too. Peter is always receptive and makes them up to order and delivers them promptly. 1 minute ago, evil c said: Have you tried these out yourself, Con? Yes I have, and can confirm they deliver power successfully. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm puzzled by U.S. plugs, surely they're unsuited to our power points and will require either changing or an adapter fitted. Have just ordered a 2m Signature power cord from Peter, very easy to deal with! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil I have been told that US plugs are constructed better and/or allow higher power draw and I believe this is why you see so many US plug cables and power boards for sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US plugs might show a higher amp rating, but that's because they have a lower voltage supply. 110V at 20A = 2200W and 240V at 10A = 2400W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordvader82 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Don't just look at the power rating - the voltage rating is very important too. 240V is much more dangerous than 110V! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordvader82 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Any of these voltages are lethal of the current crosses your heart. 240V has higher potential, so is more likely to break skin, and access all that conductive goodness beneath. 110V isn't as "strong", so to speak, so your skin offers better resistance against it.
