IĀ“m using C2 Mainz into a 8 A2 power distributor and P2-cables from it. I also use A2 speakz. IĀ“ll upgrade the P2-cables in the futureā€¦

I realised Power-block adding cables are very important to a system ā€¦ maybe the most one ā€¦in the future maybe I will getā€¦ ansuz seems to me An amazing choice

Whatā€™s your system Simon ? Can you give an approximate cost of your total Anzus cables and power block?
I am aware of the importance of power quality. Waiting now for a 2k power cord ( Sarum t) for my 555 dr. First time I invested in such costly power cord.

Chord also areā€‹:+1::+1::+1:my ethernet and din/ Xlr between 552/500 are T-Sarum

Does anyone have experience of mixing power cables to maybe offset strengths and weaknesses?

I have a standard Naim power cable from the wall (dedicated spur 6mm2 I think, unswitched socket) to a Musicworks Reflex power block. Powerlines from the Reflex to the 3 Naim boxes.

Wondering if I should seek another Powerline to bridge the socket to the Reflex or would it be better to use something quite different? And, if so, what would be a complementary wire and why?

Iā€™m using C level
Ansuz cables are a lot of money. But there are different levels in price and performance. Worth it ? I Think so but others may have different priorities.

I did demo A2 but it was a bit too bright for me.

Thank

I would say that the most important power cord is the one from the wall to the powerblock. My experience at least.
Try to put your standard Naim cable on one box and the powerline to the wall.
I would be surprised that you donā€™t find your system better sounding.

I used in the beginning standard Naim cable to my Matrixā€¦.sound was bad,bloated,too fat to my tasteā€¦ I returned to my microgal blockā€¦lately I borrowed from my dealer Chord Shawline not expensive and sound suddenly raised much higher,to a level I never heard beforeā€¦ i`m thinking to end up with Chord Signature

I have almost 20kā‚¬ worth of Ansuz cables in total, but I have paid less than half of that. Some cables I bought pre loved and the rest I bought at a really good discount from my local dealer.

For signals and ethernet cables I still use Chord Shawline.

What are your thoughts on Naim Powerline vs Powerline Lite cable?

It replaced the MPC melody which replaced the Naim powerblock.

Is a JG Special Hydra the same as a Grahamā€™s Hydra?

Close, but not quite. I was being a bit naughty - ā€œJG Specialā€ being one made for me by Jason of Naimā€¦

All power cords is Ansuz Ceramic and power distrubitor is Ansuz mainz8 x-tc. Very happy with them.

Since 14 years a Graham`s Hydra is serving me well - once had a MusicLine Powerigel on loan, which didnā€™t do it for me. Now I run the Hydra for Pre/Power and TT-PS and a Naim Powerline on the Supercap DR/Superline, which is sounding fine.
I will - in a few weeks - audition a Powerigel Plus for Pre, Power, Superline/PS and a separate Powerline from second wall-socket for the TT-Powersupply. Looking forwardā€¦

Audioquest Thunder onto NAP300, and powerlines on 2 Supercaps, extremely impressed, Thunder better than powerline on the 300.
