PS Audio PerfectWave Power Cables

I am currently running a SignalCable PC in my system. I have no complaints. This may just be an itch to 'upgrade' for snickers and giggles.
Music Direct currently has the PerfectWave PC's on sale. The AC3 is what I am thinking. The AC5 is slightly out of my budget. (budget around $100)
Does anyone have experience with either of the two models?
This will be running directly from a dedicated 20a outlet to my Musical Fidelity A308 integrated amplifier.
Thanks,
Paul

Village Idiot of Club Polk
Bought one when they we $89.00 for a minute.
Bought the detect power center as well when it
was on sale.
I have signal on everything else except a couple three
Pangea cords.(one for the sub, one for the AVR and one
is "currently" feeding the detect. I have to have it this
way until I get around to running a ground to the nearest
outlet and installing a power port classic plug.
Results? Slight. My amp is dead silent except when using
the TT to begin with.
Anyway, more work to do.
@F1nut uses them exclusively IIRC....
The ONLY drawback is I'm going to guess they are quite stiff similar to Pangea cables so you really do need an extra .5 to account for any bends.
I was shocked at what I heard.
Yea the A3 is $89 now.

They all plug into my PS audio Upc 200 power conditioner.
Definitely want to try a PS audio outlet for $50 and when costs prohibits, I want to try a regenerator. (Long-term goal)
PS Audio has my heart....

Yeah I've got 3 of em I bought off someone here for 75 bucks on the way. 2 for the HT, one for the office.
What amps fella's? And how flexible are they.... and if you have a comparison to Pangea that would rock, mainly on flexibility... I'm coming from AC-9's which are like wrassling a python to get into place.
Super flexible, almost strangely flexible actually. Mine in on a sunfire tga 7401, one to my power conditioner, the other is on my Marantz 7702. The rest in the system are audioquest nrg2, which I really like as well, not as flexible, but stay in place once bent due to their solid core wires.

My thinking is the AHB2 has a switching power supply
that produces regulated output, so regulated input...
I have the pre plugged into the HC Isozone by itself.
This is like day 4 so I'm still playing around with it all.
The best I can say is it has a bit more pleasing sound.
Oh, and more flexable than the AC-9 (which doesn't
do much for me) and on a par with the Magic cable.
(after it thaws out on delivery)
Throws down the gauntlet..........challenge accepted!
I will have to use the 2M as the 1M im getting today will be far to short to make a reasonable pretzel.

Good point! I will have to let my cable warm up before making such bends. It's a cool "real feel" of -11 at my front door. It may take some time...

I was thinking of doing the same today....along with an outlet!
so my chain would be PS Audio Classic ->AC5 -> PS Audio UPC 200 ->AC3s -> components.
Atta boy!!!!
I have a very entry level Furman M8x2 power conditioner that I plug the rest of my gear into.

Want to strike while the Irons Hot and these are on sale.....
AC-3 for my APC H15, Denon X4100a and the AC-5 for my B&K with maybe another ordered later on for my Dayton sub amp.......
I'm tempted to get an AC3, because I am sorta on the lookout for a dedicated phono pre at some point, and would be nice to have. But by that point, I'll probably just buy one of the AC3's off Dan for a discounted price anyways.

BURN! Well I've got 30 days to return em if I dont like em so BOO ON YOU!
I know the AC-5 is what I'd want for my big amps (B&K & Dayton SA1000), but the AC-3 should handle all the other small stuff (HTPC, Xbox One, Denon), and the rest of my gear is on 12v wallwarts (Netgear Switch, Uverse DVR, Asus network bridge, 120mm fans for cooling the Denon, Darbee Darblett). I will leave my buttkicker 300 watt amp on the *gasp* stock cord......
HA! You wont stay sober long enough to remember
