Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?

lalitk,

No unfortunately I don't I use their top of the line stuff my speaker wire and interconnects are the Sahara rectangular copper OCC and my power cords are all the grand rectangular copper OCC, but anything this company makes is very very good, OCC single crystal wire is the best conductor on the market far superior to anything OFC that these companies are ripping people off for, OCC single crystal is more expensive than OFC but it's well worth it, just for your information neotech supplies pretty well everyone that uses OCC single crystal wire in their designs they are one of only three companies that received the licensing to make OCC single crystal wire.

Anyone know what happens when you bend a single crystal wire?

My metallurgical training would suggest the single crystal would morph into multiple crystals, or grains. It is called work hardening. Grain boundaries increase resistance.

Unlike other crystals, metal crystals often have an extra half-sheet of atoms which allows the crystal to 'slip' and plastically deform way below the breaking point of brittle crystals. The purer the metal, the easier it slips and the softer it is.

@richardbrand ,

What in your opinion is the best type copper for cable application?

Here is my take:  Nothing benefits from a high end power cord.  However, many things, especially amps, are significantly degraded by an inadequate power cord.
