How can power cords make a difference?

I hear no difference in any power cord...my electricity's been shut off!

TVAD, is that eBay item available with a cryo option :-)

What they do is separate the good electricity from the bad. A sort of St. Peter’s Pearly Gates or Santa’s list, if you will.

If they are too short (now we know), then some of the nasty electricity gets through and invades your precious equipment. This filthiness manifests itself in less than absolutely-positively-unquestionably black backgrounds (when it could be blacker than black, mind you), and countless other aural malaise. So it’s molto important to have at least 6 or more feet of really, really expensive cable if you are really serious about nabbing all the sinning particles of power.

Once you accept this as your mantra, you will sleep better at night and I’ll be able to recommend some excellent psychiatrists. I am fortunate to live in a large northeast US city where there are many understanding doctors who don’t mind when I come in for sessions wearing a interconnect for a belt and two beefy PCs for suspenders.

Now, let’s talk about vinyl or compact discs...

Jafox,

I read your interesting thread on Power Conditioner to the Rescue and how you had very little prior sucess with power cords. This is probably because the Eclipse gave you a proper stable electrical supply and allowed your components to perform optimally.

IMHO, a Power Conditioner is much more likley to make a big difference than a power cord.

Power cords only make a difference if you spend $500 or more. Over $1k? Electric nirvana. Spending oodles of money on power cords increases your tympanic sensitivity and ability to hear (rationalize) electric wonders. This is a fact...

There ain't a power cord out there that can do what a good power conditioner can...a modest cord with a killer power conditioner will do it every time...
