... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY?

HELLO TO ALL...
Not really a discussion - more like a survey: prompted by a recent article about Power Cords that showed up in my browser. PLEASE NO DETAILS: NO IN-DEPTH REVIEWS OF ATTRIBUTES, WISH I HADs AGAIN, or WANT TO TRYs -
just component (CD, PRE, DAC, INT, POWER, SPEAKER) and Mfg Brand, and model (if known) and length

mine: CD: GOLDMUND /JOB SWEET CORD; 2-1/2 METER
           INT: JOB INT: PS AUDIO XSTREAM SC STATEMENT, 1 METER

Power cords definitely change the sound.  There is no objective neutral cord to be found. What is good for your system may not be for another.
So which is the best cord?  If you only had a different speaker, or amplifier?  The one you just got rid of would have been the best.

If you have the money?  Experiment with the time you have to do so.

I'm not sure if one strand of copper is better than another, but what I do care about how well a power cable is shielded. I've have had some pricey cables in the past but they did not pass this simple voltage meter test as described here:

I since sold those expensive cables and went exclusively with Pangea for this reason.
They sound fine as well.
