Uhrn, while I invite all and sundry to avoid jibing "ad hominem", it is equally true -- at least in my limited fiddling experience -- that with one notable exception, power cords have had an influence on the sound
of my electronic components in one audible form or an other.

The problem really starts when we ask what PC may be 'better', as there are so many different incarnations of 'better' among us sufferers of audiophrenia. GI am personally in the 'middle' school of thought, also called the Goldielocks principle I believe. . . call it golden neutrality perhaps?

On my Rowland Model 312 and Esoteric X-01 Limited, I have achieved most desirable Goldielockian results with Furutech Evolution II and Furutech High Performance wires for the more moderately priced wires, and with Shunyata King Cobra (new series that is) for the higher tier PCs.

There is a reasonable chance that Pass gear being also somewhat Goldielockian in its sonic attributes, it might synergize with the same wires. G.

PS. The single component which has this far seemed to be immune to my PC fiddlings has been the JRDG Criterion linestage.
Thank you Kurt_tank, in this particular case, the Goldilockian principle is not applied to price, which can be easily found on the Cable Company's fine web site, except for the Furutech High End Performance wires, which being custom wires assembled from bulk material, require a call to Scott Markwell of Elite Audio Imports. Rather, I am referring to the sonic character of the wires at hand, which I deem to be middle of the road, hence Goldielockian in nature, or in other words 'neutrally romantic'.

As for the specific cost/benefit ratio of these wires as they may apply to Pass gear, I defer to AudioFail, who as a Pass dealer has inherently more knowledge on these devices than my own conjecturing self. G.
