Vandersteen 5A- Power Cords

Keith, with your adjustment from "huge" to "subtle but significant", I can accept that some cords in some/many cases will make a difference. From my perspective the only piece of equipment I ever purchased that made a "huge" difference was going from by old and very much enjoyed Snell CIV speakers to Vandersteen Model 5As, not carbons. I have had them for nearly three years now I think, and cannot imagine something a lot better, though of course there is always better, but I am a happy person each time I sit in front of them and play a disc, either a black 12 inch one or a much smaller silvery one. Oh, and the tone controls on my pre are so very welcome a lot of the times, mostly on taming some high end harshness. Now, that is something I put in the "huge" category, from the single perspective of my enjoyment of a lot of (rock) music recorded long ago.

Johnny from Audio Connections is your source for all information that is not full of hyperbole. A great dealer, and a great human.

Stringreen, you may be right. We will see.

Rpeluso, "subtle but SIGNIFICANT".

Keith, I'm not the one you need to convince. I could not care less about a power cord tweak. Really couldn't.

Rapunzel, or whatever. I'm not trying to convince you or anyone about anything. I'm just making what I consider to be a constructive comment about power cords on a power cord forum question that just happens to be directly related to the speakers that I have. If you do not believe that power cords make a difference - I couldn't care less - "really couldn't". So, there you have it - we both couldn't care less. That's perfect. I just wonder why people like you - that really have nothing constructive to say except that they do not believe power cords make a difference, even chime in on forum questions like this? It's odd.

Truth is I didn't say I didn't believe that power cords do not make a difference, I agreed that your re-worded description of subtle but significant was more in line with (my) reality. I found it constructive, in fact, that you went from huge to that description.
