Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?

@oberoniaomnia there are quite a few high end cable companies that make custom cables for two box units. They may not advertise them, but they are available upon request. Just look up high end audio umbilical cables.

@inna +1 "Accuphase stock cords are not too bad”, indeed! Accuphase cables are very good electrically speaking! More expensive cable upgrades cannot not change sound anyhow, assuming no other issues like RFI nose etc. In analog design PC is at bottom of design pareto chart, which specifies impact of every chain part to final result.

+1 "The most important cable in the system is tonearm cable not power cords” yep, in analog sound system phono cable and tonearm wiring, on top of cartridge and tonearm itself, are very important parts! 

I’m 58 years old. Back in the old Stereo Reviews I read as a kid, I do not remember emphasis on cables like we have today. I’m sure there were others, however, the first "cable" manufacturer of any big advertising clout I remember was Monster. For myself, back then, cabling was easy. Most power cords were built in (on my components at least). I either used the cables that came with the unit or just went to Radio Shack and purchased their run of the mill interconnects. Of course, for speakers, I pulled the length I needed from the large spools at RS.

Because the customer has to be able to plug it in right away. Even though they may never use the stock cord, if you were a manufacturer and didn't include it you'd hear about it right away.

Then why don’t amplifier manufactures include speaker cables?  An amp is used to drive a speaker…..correct?   Obviously, I’m being sarcastic.

While rumor often has it that Pass doesn’t believe in upgrade power cords and cables, rumor and visitors also report that Pass uses expensive Silent Source Cables in their listening room and at shows...my Pass mono blocks came with good power cords, but I prefer my Cerious cords...
