..so you think there's no need.......


I have Vandersteen 5A speakers which have a sub section that's powered by its own class D amp....very efficient...needs little power. The power cords look like Home Depot specials.  Yesterday, I found an old Transparent brand power cord....what the heck.   I substituted the HD left cord with the Transparent, the result is a major sonic improvement, not only in the lows where you'd expect, but in the soundstage mids/highs.  Although I can't pinpoint a difference in sound from the 2 speakers, I now have to explore a 2nd power cord for the right one....I don't expect I'll ever find a Transparent power cord after all these years.

To Stereo5.......Got it....makes a world of difference for the better.

The return label was smeared.   All I can make out is Road Island??

A bit off topic, but 20 years ago living in VA I sold my McIntosh C15 and MC300 to a fellow in WA. He was an artist, and sent me 3 nice prints of water colors scenes he had done. I had them framed and have them to this day... I continue to find 90% of people I deal with on Audiogon to be kind and collegial. Don’t let the forums fool you, just a few out of many that like to be heard.

Had a somewhat similar startling experience trying a v1 Venom HC power cord on a Taranis Class D amp.  As I recall, it replaced a Pangea AC-9.  Used Venom HCs come up for sale fairly often.   Might be an option for you (a pair, for that matter).
