The truth is that any piece of equipment can benefit from an upgraded power cord.
Will An Anthem AV Receiver Benefit From An Aftermarket Power Cable
I recently simplified my home theater system by moving from
separates to an Anthem AV receiver. The Anthem is internally
grounded so the stock rubber cable has just two prongs.
So would there be a benefit to getting an aftermarket cable?
In my analog system, I use Cullen or similar priced cables,
I would be in the same price range for the receiver.

Agree with @auxinput but, if this is strictly a home theater system you have to ask if the sonic benefits will really matter to you in the end. The small nuances that matter a lot to me in 2-channel and that a better PC can surely bring out — not so much important to me in HT. BTW, I also use Cullen power cables in my HeadFi setup and think he provides great build quality and value. |
My ears and trials say there will be differences and it will be up to you to determine if you like the differences. I have tried different cords on my Marantz 8802 preamp and a Cardas cord sounded different then an Elrod cord than an AQ cord vs a Pangea. Because the receiver is presumably close to a cable box or satellite receiver having good isolation will be helpful - those things are noisy. |
