Power cable from wall socket to power strip

Hej

Firstly; yes I believe that cables makes a difference. All cables. I don’t want a discussion with ”non believers”.

I use a power strip (Wireworld Matrix 2) which is connected to the wall socket with a Furutech Empire. But now I need a little longer power cable and I thought; does the power cable from the wall socket to the power strip really matter? I mean, all the way to my wall socket it’s just ordinary wire, so why should the part to the power strip matter. It’s just the last bit to the devices that matters, I’ve been told. Or…?
What are your thoughts about this?

OP - the power cord to your power conditioner will make a difference. But the power cord for your amplifier will have a bigger impact especially if you’re still using stock cords.

Spend as much money as you possibly can on your power card.[

+1 on the Puritan products

I do not have the power conditioner but have recently upgraded to their Puritan Ultimate power cord on my PS Audio Power Plant with very favorable results

Here's the feedback that I sent the distributor after installing the Puritan Ultimate

Darin the XX cable is a beast and an engineering work of art

It's only got 10 or so hours on it, but it's clearly better than what I replaced on my PS Audio Power Plant 15

It was an immediate improvement with no A/B comparison, swapping back and forth needed

I do not know the technical terms and proper audiophile jargon, but I do know my system and my music

And I'm hearing the best versions of both after connecting the Puritan Ultimate

Wider dynamic range, increased detail, even at lower volume

At higher volumes significant bass slam improvement and the overall sound is tight and punchy

The single best $900 I've spent on my system in the last 5 years

I know it's a cable but the improvement will have people asking what new piece of electronics have I added

After 200 hours it should be a real treat

I'm delighted with the results

ty for your coaching and guidance through the process
