anybody has any suggestion for the best AC cord on the market? i am upgrading all my system and need a set of AC cord, i am thinking to go with psaudio lab cable or black mamba, but after doing some research the whale elite seems to be popular, any recommendation?
Neubilder: No, you've got it right. There isn't anything a power cord can do to affect the performance of the device it's connected to. All it does is deliver power.
It's like trying to explain to someone how the same gas with the same octane can cause different results in a Porsche vs. a Yugo.... Perhaps as one builder/craftsman can build a great house out of the same raw materials...and another can produce something that will be torn down in twenty years or less. A raw material is just that....what a person or device does with it may or may not produce excellence.
Whatjd, I think your analogy is not logical. Your first anaogy would make sense if you were talking about amplifiers or speakers etc. If you are comparing a 50 foot run of cheap wiring terminated with a few feet of exotic power cord then I would make a different analogy. Something along the lines of "my porsche runs better because the fuel was pumped through a very, very good hose!"
