I always wonder why regen needs good AC power cord, until Paul put out this video the other day.
I donāt have a hi res system, wonder might not hear difference with good AC cord.
I make my own from bulk Furutech Power Cable and Furutech connectors. I also cover them with Techflex and strain relief with shrink tube.
The last power cable I made was for my P10. Furutech DPS-4.1 with Furutech NCF plugs.
I am also a big fan of using right angle plugs that terminate at a wall outlet. It really helps with strain relief.

Itās quite nice. The entire shell comes apart making installation very simple. You also arenāt confined to 90 degrees. You can orient the plugs at multiple angles.
I wish manufacturers would adopt these right-angle connections. These big power cables really put the stress on the outlet!
90 degree connectors might help. Iāve had no problems with my P12 or my M1200s but my power cords had been know to push my M700s across the mounting surface in the cabinet. The cables are so stiff and the amps didnāt weigh enough. The cables won the battle. I assumed pushing on them would stress the outlet and let the cables win.
This is a simple subwoofer cable I made with the Furutech connectors discussed above.
The next time I pull my cabinet out from the wall I will attempt to remember to take pics of those cables.
Looking at this one closely it looks like I overheated the techflex when I was reducing the shrink tube. I need better QA!
Youāre supposed to put those door stop weights on top of your equipment anyway, right?
Iāve seen those in John Darkoās videos and I see them a lot in peopleās system photos. I canāt say that Iāve ever heard a sonic difference, but if it keeps your gear from scooching across the shelf, then thatās a win!
How do you like the Platinum Electra 7? I am considering between the Platinum and AQ Hurricane. Currently running a AQ Thunder to my P15. Thanks.
I remember seeing an ad for an electrical outlet that had supports sticking out from the bottom of each receptacle to help with the weight of heavy power cables, but I canāt find it now. Anyone else seen those?

Hey allā¦anyone know of an ice connector support that would
keep power cords in placeā¦something along the lines
of vkennedyās suggestion?
Thanks everyoneā¦
Pangea AC-9SE MkII Signature - HOWEVER - and Iād love to get advice from the forum group on this because I have a challenging set-up: The ONLY place in my house where I can set up my main system is in my office. My components are sitting on top of a file credenza (which is walnut and very heavy/very stable) to the right of my desk, and my speakers are on top of my desk. Hereās the deal with the power situation - the only power outlet I can use is behind my desk. There isnāt much space back there. The AC-9 doesnāt have room to come out of the wall and make a sharp right turn. Itās too thick and heavy. So, I am currently running the stock cable of a Pangea Audio Premier Octet Power Strip from the wall to power strip, and then the AC-9 to the back of my PS Audio P3 regenerator. My question is this - do you guys think Iād be better off getting another good power cable that has a right angle plug at the wall - and running that to my P3??? Thanks in advance for your advice on this.
