The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance


This is a journey through real life experiences from you to everyone that cares to educate themselves. I must admit that I was not a believer in power cords and how they affect sound in your system. I from the camp that believed that the speaker provided 75% of the sound signature then your source then components but never the power cord. Until that magic day I along with another highly acclaimed AudioGoner who I will keep anatomist ran through a few cables in quite a few different systems and was "WOWED" at what I heard. That being said cable I know that I am not the only believer and that is why there are so many power cord/cable companies out there that range from $50 to 20-30 thousand dollars and above. So I like most of you have to scratch my head and ask where do I begin what brand and product and what should i really pay for it?

The purpose of this discussion to get some honest feed back on Price to Performance from you the end user to us here in the community.

Please fire away!

Hey, $16,000 is a drop in the bucket compared to the Von Schweikert Ultra Speaker internal wiring upgrade that sells for as much as $35,000. Are you saying $4,000 for a power cord is where you draw the line. $1000? $100?
I like the Wire World Electra 7 on my Dac.It does filter noise and replaced a Jvc digital cable.I don't care for them elsewhere in the system.
Hi There geoffkait,

Don’t know that anyone said that there was a line. Why stop at $35000.00? I had the opportunity to audition a $75,000.00 TROY ELITE NG ground conditioning unit.

Guess the real question is does the dollar amount spent = "Price for Performance" and why you think it does in your system?
