power cord too short? what now?

I doubt that anyone could tell a difference, if you can, it is just as likely to be an improvement as an impairment.

I'd say sell it and buy a longer cord. What Brand/Model is it, maybe someone reading this thread can use it?

I am with Listener57 - get a nice strip with a solid cord on it - BPT makes some very high quality gear that will probably improve your rig anyway - very tough to beat the value of the Pure Power Center for $149 which includes a 6' cord - not his best but decent, best is available =) For an extra $20 Chris will add some magic and isolate the duplexes enabling you to isolate the digital sources from the power amps etc.

Newbee,

I completely agree. Why can't people understand that that is basically what's behind their sheetrock walls? Within the same room, if he had chosen the furthest outlet location along the outlet wiring series, he'd just be adding more Romex wiring length. Its basically just a longer non-audiophile extension cord, thus the on-going beneficial "Audiophile" powercord debate. Nice fancy $$$ cord plugged into the wall outlet, then crappy ol' Romex hidden just mere inches away. Just because it's out of sight, doesn't make it magical?

Some may argue that another plug contact is made, but aren't factoring in the "series" outlet connections behind the walls and out to the breaker box (more copper and brass oxidation at each and every wire termination for those debating "gold-plated fuse" benefits).

40 years of electronics, but what do I know?

Metro04, FWIW I'm severely challenged when it comes to figuring out how long a PC should be. If one assumes that adding a particular PC improves the sound, say a six ft length, would a nine foot length sound better, or worse. Why? How about a 12 ft length. Would that be better or worse? Why? Assuming the PC is the same guage as the romex in the walls and the current is not limited by the PC wouldn't it be acting as some sort of filter for RFI etc and benefit by being as long as possible. I wonder how one determines the optimum length in the first place. Oh well, lots of questions - I'm sure there are a lot of answers. I'm just a Newbee. :-)
