power cord for electrostatic speaker


Hi folks, I would like to know if you have some suggestions/recommendations regarding the use of special after market power cords for electrostatic speakers (Sound Labs). The power consumption of such speakers is extremely low, so I don't think power cords would have audible (if there is any) impact. What is your opinion? Isn't it a bit ridiculous to spend 2 x US$700 worth of power cords only for electrostatic speakers?

I was surprised to hear a positive improvement on my Quad 988's. I think it's worth a try.

I will say this (keep in mind that I am not a big spender when it comes to PC , SC or IC ):
From my experience with ML Aerius I , I can report that both -
a) power cable
and
b) upgraded power outlets
did improve the sound.
How much of an improvement ?
Enough to justify the cost of cables (Kimber Kable 10 X 2 , show demo = $220) and power outlets by PS ( X2 , $100 ) .
So, was a little over $300 worth it ?........ IMO, Yes.
If you can't hear the difference , just return the cables
and enjoy the music.
I can hear the difference also with aftermarket power cords on my ML Aerius i's. I am currently using TARA Labs Prism Special AC power cord. The stock cable is fine, but once you find the right after market I think you will hear the difference with the stock sounding a little congested. I use to have an ugly green pair of Straight Wire power cable that I thought sounded much better then my Prism Special's.... I wish I never sold them.
How can you explain the effect of power cord on the sound of electrostatic speakers? Power requirement of electrostatic speakers is almost zero.
