In my limited experience, the effects seem to vary depending on the power cord. I use a couple of FIM Gold PCs on my audio setup (I find they do make a material difference here), but I tried on on my CRT projector and noticed no discernable difference. I'm now using a custom Belkin cable on my projector(way cheaper than the FIM), and I beleive there is at least a subgle difference, which may get more obvious over time (as the cablet is new/not-burned-in yet).
A VD's Master improved color saturation and 3-D effect vs a Harmonix Studio Master (all Wattgate) on my Denon 5900 and NEC plasma.
Save your money! If you don't have much electronics background, ask someone who does. Ask them how a 3 or 6 foot powercord can possibly make a difference with regards to your wall's Romex wiring, lines to the power transformer, miles upon miles of KV lines routed through switching yards, and onto the generating stations. Where's all the tech wiring there? Don't buy into the placebo snake-oil. If unsure, obtain several "free" cords and visually test their results yourself. There's NO difference!
For sure any "audiophile" power cord is better then the stock cord....more shielding and less "digital noise" will translate in better picture, especially with HDTV.
well, I am already in the camp so to speak on the impact on sound....I trust my ears. Guess will have to experiment and trust my eyes now. any power cord that works particularily well for plasmas or bascially the same thing?
