Power cords. Ah yes, the debate continues. Tom auditioned the HCA-2 with its stock 14-gauge power cord. This is not a bad cord, but we provide written caution against its use on a long-term basis for the reason that it just doesn't offer the full potential of the amplifier. We would assume anyone who owns an HCA-2 would want to receive the amp's full and considerable potential.
Connecting a Lab Cable, a Mini Lab, a Micro Lab Cable or for that matter any really good after-market power cord makes a tremendous improvement to the HCA-2. That improvement is far more pronounced on this particular amplifier than any other power amplifier I have ever seen.

Take our word for it: This amplifier, with a proper power cord and a few weeks of serious break-in will knock your socks off. What Tom experienced and wrote about will only be enhanced -- rather dramatically, I might add -- with the addition of a better power connection.
Jag investerade själv nyligen i Ljudmakarns egenbyggda nätkablar Master Snake One men har inte hunnit testa att koppla mellan vanliga standardkablar och dessa, något jag lär göra om/när systemet är komplett igen. Till dess skulle jag vilja höra era åsikter i ämnet, har du testat eller bytt till dedikerade hifi-nätkablar? Skriv gärna om era erfarenheter och åsikter!
