The most common problem that happens with house AC interfering with audio is DC offset. Yes, you can have DC offset in an AC line. It happens during peak consumption hours. Try this, does your system sound better at certain times of the day? Say early in the morning or late at night? A new power cord will not solve this issue, and compared to what's in your walls a common hospital grade cord is plenty for audio equipment. Like other's have said a PC does not in any way reject the type of "contamination" you would actually hear to get that "pure" power.
Can upgraded power cords help my setup?
I have some KEF LS50 Wireless speakers and decided to use them with a Bluesound Node 2 via a Lifatec optical cable. Can I see a significant and worthy improvement if I swap out my power cords for something like Pangea cords? Do I need the AC 9SE MKII on the speakers or will the AC 14SE MKII be good for each speaker and also the Node 2 (C7?)? Power cords seem to be the only place left for me to tweak the most out of my setup.
Thanks for any input.
