powercords

I certainly have, personally, experienced the improvement power cords can make on amplifiers...how about their value on other items, such as preamps with external powersuppies, and phono preamps....I know better than to apply layperson logic, which doesn't always work in audio, but it would seem that items that draw less "juice" would be less prone to changes in power cords....thoughts welcomed, but experience more interesting to me.....thanks

Once again I'm going to come to millercarbon's defense. I changed the stock power cords on my integrated and CD player and even with my age-related hearing loss and tinnitus I heard an improvement. There was more openness, and expansion of the sound stage. When I changed the fuses to SR Blues there was an even more profound improvement. I can't explain it, don't know if it could be measured, but I heard it and I was not expecting to hear it.

I couldn't disagree more with what he says. The guy seems to be on mission.

About a year ago  I got the pass Labs XP 27 phono preamp  which is without a doubt a great phono amp. But I had  not a terrible power cord it was an average power cord it wasn't a stock one it was named name brand one I think it was that cheap venom   and I still could not get good sound from my vinyl recordings and a friend of mine recommend that I change out the power cord again to something good  so I so I ordered a Kimber kable pk14 know this was brand-new but the difference it made in the sound of my phono preamp was nothing short of amazing it just made my day like some equipment that you purchased does I just could not believe it
