Front Row Seat Power Cord?

@1971gto455ho You, like most people, are assuming the power cord might affect the quality of the mains supply, if it affects anything at all, which I guess you doubt.  Much more likely is that it modulates in some way RFI generated by your equipment that it powers. 

Elsewhere I have given a reproducible example of a power cord feeding a subwoofer with an in-built class D amplifier, which generates lots of switching noise.  The cable was acting as an antenna and destroying TV signals.  A couple of ferrite rings round the power cord fixed that issue.

Pass actually does recommend the supplied power cable...it's in the XA25 paperwork.

@laginz ,

Curious as to why you think changing your power cord will give you the result your looking for. I legitimately don't see the correlation.

Oh poppycock…. forget the psychobabble let’s have some facts. Equipment based tests have shown indisputable, overwhelming results that other than optimal size, quality, the cable industry as a whole is a farce ! Then we have science i.e. physics, credited professionals, again overwhelming majority comply with equipment results.
lastly there’s the ears, purely subjective, no consistency. Groups of enthusiasts, professionals alike can be swayed one way or the other any number of tests and times. We’ve (solely for entertainment purposes) tested factory, aftermarket, DIY cables, only to see overlaid equipment results as well as consistent inconsistent hearing results. Note; not a whole lot of high dollar cable spenders willing to test or accept the results of a/b testing out there. So begs the question why does one feel the need to give away in some cases large money for purely monkey speculation… Ridiculous.

There is only one undeniable truth about Power Cords.  That being, there are people who believe their $500 - $5000 power cord has made a difference, and those who don't.  Pretty simple and neither side is going to convince the other. What is truly amazing, IMHO, is how this topic garners the amount of member input, over and over and over again.  I'm personally in the camp that believes you should use a shielded cable of sufficient size to carry the current from point A to point B.  I don't mind spending a bit of cash as I do think the sum of all parts creates the final sound, so I don't use lamp-cord on my speakers either.  I think Power Cables are a great place to exercise some DIY.  In the end, believe what makes you happy and enjoy your systems.  Cheers.
