powercords

Power cords upgrades make big difference on everything.

Yes, there is an improvement, especially vs. most stock cables. A component that draws less current will still benefit from a cable with pure copper or silver conductors. These components require a smaller gauge cable than an amp.
The design and quality of materials in the connectors play an important role in improving sound.

OK, let the hating begin.

 

I believe in the time-honored incremental approach known as proof of concept. Because why argue when you can try and see for yourself? The beauty of proof of concept is you don't have to spend a lot of money, or maybe even any. Just time and effort.  

For example, can a power cord make a difference on a low current component like for example a turntable? Well I had a not very good one I was willing to sacrifice so I unsoldered the existing power cord and replaced it with the crappy aftermarket cord and surprise surprise it was a whole lot better! Direct into a turntable motor is just about the least current you can find. This was a truly not very good power cord. Yet it made a big difference.

Something similar has been done so many times since then (this was back around 1994) its been demonstrated beyond a doubt power cords do make a difference on everything regardless of current or whatever.

But hey, don't take my word for it. Don't take ANYONE'S word for it! Proof of concept! It sounds like you already have power cords. So swap them around. Find out for yourself. Only downside is you miss out on all the entertainment reading the people who love to argue way more than they love to listen.

Chuck, respectfully, what difference did you note when you did your turntable experiment?
also, if the notion of low draw items need less "gauge" is true, what cord would you think would be good for the Herron?  Keith, of course, says he just uses the stock....
