Power Cords

yes they are, esp on high-quality amps such as yours. the how/why's are perhaps too big a topic right now (do a search for many other prior discussions), but take my word for it, it's not snake oil as some would like to believe.

My suggestion: go to your local audioshop, borrow some and try them against whatever stock chord you now have.

They are almost necessary over stock cords. Used on the front end has the most effect. Don't ask me why they work, they just do.

I have found PCs to be very system/component dependent. Like I/Cs, they can alter the "sound" of a system. Sometimes not positively. What sounds good here may not sound good there.

Keeping this in mind, if you want the final word in performance from your system, by all means, try them. But be prepared to experiment.

I was never a believer in aftermarket, high dollar power cords, I mean how can the last 5 feet of wire make a difference? especially when there's literally hundreds of feet of standard, 12 ga. at best, romex in the walls...all I can recommend is that ONLY YOUR ears can be the judge of this...I tried a PS Audio Extreme Plus on my Jolida integrated and was absolutely stunned at the difference it made over the stock PC...blacker backrounds, better imaging, more focus. It definitely made me think that there is something to this... I am a true believer in VH Audio's power cords, I have several in my system...Chris has many "flavors" to chose from and he has a 60 day in home trial period...If you don't like it, just send it back! But remember, don't listen to me or anyone else...only YOUR ears will tell you the truth! Good Luck!
