Zrock and Power Cords - stock or upgrade?
02/10/26 at 17:33:23
 
Hello,

I'll be getting a zrock 3 ... soon... but I was wondering how you all power it. Do you use the stock cord, or is it responsive to power cord upgrades?

If responsive, would you recommend the Decware PC's?

Thanks,
r.

It is responsive to power cords. . . everything Decware makes I find responds to power and signal cabling, clean power, isolation. . . this stuff lets you hear everythng.

Decware PC cables are good bang for the buck. I no longer use them in my main system, but have a few in my two other systems.

A missing piece of my puzzle system was found recently: a Tung-Sol black glass 12AU7. I had ONE before and tried it in both the ZROCK3 and the SEWE300B input, but found I liked it best in the amplifier, with my favorite SUN labeled Holland made 12AU7 in the ZROCK3. But I finally have another Tung-Sol black glass and have it in the ZROCK3 where it now makes great sound.

So I finally have every tube in my system--from the 845 to the rectification tubes to the input, to the driver tubes, to the output tubes, all either black glass or carbon spray lined. This has been a key for the total tonal balance I've been enjoying of late. So clear and dynamic but with a classic richness. Like the perfect tube and solid state sound marriage. I'm very locked in on the whole compliment now.
