Did "we" come up with a preferred PC length?
My unused PC's are all tangled up with my Liberty of London Paisely Tie Collection, so I thought that I might simply buy some new (untangled) ones.

Ideal power cord lengths?
A quick Google search suggests there is consensus that the ideal power cord length is 2m. 1m cords sound “harsher” and 3m cords sound “smoother”, with 2m being the sweet spot. The PS Audio dude suggests that the reason is that the reason is that all cords have an impact on the power, and the greater the length, the greater the impact, good or bad.
I know many will say there is no difference between a 1m cord and a 3m cord. But my question is, who here has tried like model power cords of different lengths, and what were the differences?
Second question: How does length factor into the equation when you have a cord feeding a conditioner, then other cords feeding components? If 2m cords are in fact the ideal, would 1m cords be ideal when using conditioners?
I tend to believe those that say that power cord lengths matter. While I’ve not been able to do this test myself, I’ve had these two experiences:
Very interested in learning of others experiences with power cord lengths.
I gather your using a 30 amp breaker with your 10 gauge line, and your amp is of a size that requires that hefty feed ? That is highly unlikely. Or perhaps your entire system runs off of a single 10 gauge line ? I’ve 4 outlets with cut gangs so each socket has a 12 gauge service. That’s 8 moderately bendable wires and a total of 160 amps of breaker protection. In poker that would be called a full house, shuffle the cards will ya... |
No amp will draw more than a few amps continuously. You definitely have RMS current covered with your full house of 12AWG! And your breakers won’t trip as all they care about is RMS. Heck 20A breakers are overkill for RMS current demands of your amp! Seems odd that Audioquest rates their conditioner models by the amount of current they can provide instantaneously for up to 25ms, with their top TWO models able to supply up to 90A for up to 25ms? Very odd, hmmm, I wonder why…. Again @1971gto455ho you have RMS current demands of your system totally covered, no issues there! Instantaneous (peak) current must totally be made up by AudioQuest as a marketing ploy, I’m certain! You’ve convinced me. Dammit, wish I didn’t spend those extra few bucks on my beefy, low-resistance, high-current capable 10AWG wire… ;)
