Quiet_Hollow Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Replace the stock 18AWG power cord with 14AWG. About $10. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 18 AWG can safely pass 10 Amps, ~1200 watts. Does it consume over 1200 watts, max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmassy Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I use audioquest NRG-4 for my Sc-91, only because I scored one new at work (Bestbuy) when they were on clearance for 20$ LOL grabbed up that last one in no time.

mike stehr Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Is this an audible upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Perhaps...could swear the La Scala picked up a tiny bit of improvement in snap after the swap, but at this point I'm splitting hairs. FWIW, A glass of booze makes a bigger difference right now. I know I'm not even busting 1V at the speakers 99% of the time, but honestly I've also never metered the power cord to see what's actually getting slung around inside there with the system at full tilt. I suspect it'd be less than amp. It just got to me one day, and I saw a replacement hanging on the rack at the electronics store, so I snagged it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Eh... it's to much of a hassle at the moment because the SC power cord is ensnared in a death grip of other power cables. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The Elite amps are very efficient. The SC 99 consumes 370 watts. I don't think a larger gauge power cord with do much over the standard issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
