Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ?

Shorter if possible. Same thing with interconnects.

Some will say short, some will say long. Some of the Jason Bourne ilk will say it does not matter, like usual. These strange dudes don’t think cables do anything, but for some reason post non-stop in all cable related threads 🤔

Move closer to the power company's generators.

@thyname - I was going to say that proper cables must be measured in meters and not feet :-)

@audphile1  - You bring up a very important point for consideration.  Assuming that all other things being equal a longer power cord is better, then at what point are you better off to get a higher quality cable in a shorter length for the same money spent.  I'm sure that at some price points the cost difference between a 5 ft power cord (junk) and an otherwise identical 3 m power cord (amazing based on the unit of measure) would be negligible.

Long enough to reach from your equipment to the wall outlet or power strip.
