how can a line cord affect frequency response ?

Very well written post by Jmcgrogan2.

As for Albert influencing the rest of us to buy his gear, of yes, every time he upgrades, a number of us tail waggers sit there drooling and waiting for the hand-me-down table scraps. 8-) And Albert, did you notice the Wotans for sale? Or are you holding out on a pair of JL-2s or quad of JL-3's?

Boa2, my PCs quack real loud all the time. Especially when I take a wild gander, and goose 'em real big 20 amp IEC male connector down those ornithologically inappropriate tini 15 Amp female receptacles. Perhaps Robert should offer a new line of PCs insulated with authentic Canadian Artic Goose Down. . . or should we leave it to Virtual Dynamics?

Hi John.

Robert, how can one lay his/her hands on one of these Vol II discs?

It's in there. ;) Or do you mean how can anyone get Vol.I or II?

Best,

Please don't get me started on more amps, I just got mine tubed up right and sounding good.

The power cord doesn't affect frequency response, however it can affect dynamics and in some cases become an antenna for RF. When RF gets into your amplifier, then it can affect the sound in many ways:bright, lean, hard, glassy, etc. Normally, the power supply should eliminate these effects, but in some cases, it doesn't.

It never ceases to amaze me just how cheap some expensive amplifiers can be. Some factory power cords are really inexpensive. When you replace them with better quality ones, there can be a small difference in DC levels in the power supply, which you will hear. However, none of this will affect frequency response.

Whether or not you will get the same effect(s) with a Belden 14 gauge shielded power cord for 10 or 12 bucks is a whole different matter.
