Power cords at ridiculous prices?

I hear you Mikirob but does that really matter?  The way I see it power cables and other components bring whatever the recording medium and however it was recorded to your speakers as optimally as possible in your home.

Junk in junk out is true, but are you not adding insufficient reproduction by not optimizing your own system - because you are either adding or detracting once you drop the needle in the groove - why not make it pleasing as possible.

Hi Jeffloistarca!If you have tested and identified a powercord of a certain brand for ex(shunyata,  purist audio design, transparent etc etc...)that matches in an specific equipment, then the cable up in the line will perform neccesary better than the ones down in the line.So the question is how much is the amount of money are you able to spend in a power cord??....That depends on the importance you give it to the sound results, compared to your pockets.IMHO there should be a balance between cost and result.Anyway I would choose first the equipments I want to keep in my system, and then upgrading little by little with better powercords.Normally entry level powercords from renowned brands as Shunyata, Purist Transparent and others, have a very good result and doesn´t cost a fortune.Then if you are tempted to go up in the line ,is just up to you.Everyone has its own limits and take decisions accordingly.Cheers!Raf.

In all of the internet world, this has to be some kind of record.  resurrecting a FIFTEEN year old thread!!! Is there some kind of award for this?

pops,
agree with you...just getting a lay of the land...what opinions out there; and I can do as you said with Western Electric WE10ga stranded tinned copper terminated with Furutech f11 for about $100 total. Amazing! Best, Rob

If you got big bucks nothing is ridiculous.
