Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?

@audiophile1 

Not to mention the likelihood that the CD transport injects noise onto the power cord which can affect other components.

A CD transport includes three feedback loops: a servo mechanism for adjusting the height of the laser above the pits on a rotating disk; a control system to regulate the flow of bits by slowing down the rotational speed of the platter; and a mechanism for tracking the pit spiral towards the outer edge of the disk. Most likely these are realised digitally.

Then there is the digital logic to apply the Reed Solomon Error Correction Code.  Altogether quite an electrically noisy environment!

@richardbrand correct. It all matters. Also looking at OP’s system pictures - all of the components are only few inches away from each other. I would spread them out. Few months ago I ordered an EMF meter - an essential tool for setting up and tuning a system. Very interesting to see how much EMI each component generates and radiates out.

"It’s also great for paranormal investigations, detecting EMF changes linked to ghostly activity."

Wonder if it can detect the Ghost of Christmas Past...

They absolutely do!

I had some cheap monster cable RCA's connected and we switched in some Cardas Clear RCA's. The improvement in sonics was very noticeable. In fact CD's sounded better than my streaming front end where before streaming always sounded better. 

I bought the Cardas Clear RCA's and put them on my phono stage to the pre amp. I rarely use the CD player so I didn't want to spend 2.5k on another pair!

@vuch

the question was about power cords!
