Power Cord Placement


Imagine the back panel of a high quality power amplifier or preamp.  Where's the inlet socket for the power cord?  Sometimes it's to the far left, sometimes to the far right, but what really annoys me is when the inlet is right in the middle.  I cannot think of a more difficult location when it comes to distancing power cables from audio cables.  It makes want to consider battery powered equipment!

#1stworldproblems :) But seriously it does depend on the design as stated above. I like the layout of my tube amp inputs front left corner, captive AC cable back left corner, binding posts center. I don't move or change things much so not as much a bother to me.
Yes, it’s tragedies like this that make you wonder if life is worth living...
Now you know why Pink Floyd wrote Goodbye Cruel World.

Yes you can go battery. Go ahead. All in all its just another brick in the wall.

Hi,
its nice to have the power inlet away from inputs and speaker output in a power amp. For preamps far left or right and away from inputs.
