I am about to be delivered a Panasonic 42" EDTV Plasma display (pwd7uy)(yes they are coming down in price by the way)and was wondering if anybody had any thoughts as to if a better power cord would help improve the image of these displays? I am a total believer in what aftermarket cords(own 4 VHAudio Flavor 4 gold Wattgates) have done and can do to my 2 channel audio realm but i don't have a clue when it comes to a display such as this.Any help would be greatly appreciated as usual : ) Maybe they can even be detrimental? I plead ignorance but mercy once again!
I found that picture improvements could be had w/ a bybee purifier installed on your power conditioner--much more effective than cable swapping for this application. Also, the use of Quicksiver silver contact enhancer further brought the picture into focus--works well for audio too--better than Walker SST in my application.
Sorry for being remiss in checking back on this thread that i started.Well i never did swap out the power cord as i was affraid that a larger cord may actually slipout of the back of the unit since it plugs directly upward into the unit.The Panasonic has a locking sleeve for their stock cord so this does not happen but will not fit over my replacement cords that i would have tried.However i am running into the back of my Dezorel G2 line conditioner and things look great and it has not seemed to effect my audio performance(which also is all plugged into that unit) one bit.My soundstage is large and image quality is really great.Just didn't know how much better it could get and was wondering.Decided to look back at my past posts and saw that i didn't respond to some posts so sorry about that!
Try Nordost powercords. I just posted this on another thread....at CES Nordost showed the visual improvements on a Pioneer Elite plamsa display when swapping out the stock cord with their Vishnu. It sure did make things better, but thats a $700 powercord. I'm not sure how much your tv cost so it may be a hard upgrade to recommend.
