Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ?


I've heard many things about the length of a power cord. What is the ideal length of a power cord to give it a chance to perform at its best before connecting to an amplifier?

Oh dear...

Another power cable length thread!

This one in any length will energize your amp with shockingly good results

Wouldn’t you think that the best power cord is no power cord? Obviously, there are practical reasons why this wouldn’t always work but for folks like many here who are totally into the ultimate best sound they can get out of their systems, I surprised this is not mentioned?

I agree. I spoke about it in a previous discussions. see below:

That’s one way to end the debate on fancy aftermarket power cords. Let’s bring back electronics with captive power cords 🤣

I agree. Another way is to eliminate the power cord and wall plug. I run my amp directly to the dedicated branch circuit, sounds better in my opinion, then running it with a power cord. 😎
