Recommendations for Shielded Power Cord


I plan to use two powered subwoofers in my system and they will be positioned on the same plane as my speakers. Unfortunately that means the power cord for the subwoofers will run parallel to my speaker cables.

Is there an available powercord which is shielded enough that this will not cause a problem?

Dear BWhite,
Not to step on any toes and not to try and make a sale, I don't feel rewiring is a wise move. Be sure to check your local building codes prior to rewiring the listening room. You could be placing your homeowners policy in question. Shielded power cords are VERY effective (be it ours or someone elses).
Go to HD and purchase a GB Instruments Circuit Alert($15). It is about the size of a highlighting marker only red in color. It is in the electrical isle. Depress the button and scan the area in question. If it beeps (as it will next to unshielded pc's) you have stray AC voltage which can cause problems with IC's and speaker cables. It's also a cost effective way of checking shielded PC's at your local high end shop. It's one of those kool little tools to help us justify our spending to the better half and show off our PC's effectiveness to friends.
Hope this helps!
Happy listening,

I bought 8 shielded 14/3 heavy-duty Belden 6 foot PCs at a yard sale recently. Send me a $10 bill and I'll ship you one. Call for address, as my email is down. Ern

Hey Ernie, How is it going my friend? I need 8 footers for this application. I have two Velodyne HGS-12 subs located in each corner of my room. Unfortunately the 6 footers will not work.

I am also looking in to having an electrician put outlets in the corners as a possible solution.

Have you purchased a GOOD power cord for your EMC-1 Mk II yet? I'm at the King Cobra V2 and it's phenomenal! Well worth the cash.

Hi Bry,
Just finished cutting up our Arts & Crafts 300 lb rack, so measured holes for my Aleph while sitting on a Neuance shelf.
Bought a Harm Tech Pro-Silway AC11 at the same time.
Not sure, but I'd say the loss of the Neuance under the EMC-1 MkII is more important han the PC as the presentation seems a little rougher! I'll know better after I get the second Neuance and can then perform a proper trial of the two PCs.

PS EC has raised the export price of the 24/192 emc-1 to $2800. Still a good deal, though. I may try to get MkII DACs for under $600 if anyone wants one. Try the Neuance, Bry. For $150 it may be a better investment than python-oil.
