Since frequency extension, at the top and at the bottom, is the watchword of true hifi (hence the name) I have found that simple EXTENSION CORDS available at ACE hardware (they are paying me to say this) do the best job. Cascading them makes it even better--until the fire marshal shows up.
Longer Power Cords Sound better?
In my quest for power cords, i have noticed that a longer cord say 6 or 8 feet tends to have a nicer sound in my system that the same models that are 3 or 4 feet.
Power cords i have found this to be true include Cerious Tech, Cardas, and VH Audio....anyone have an explanation?
AND by nicer sound I mean they tend to have a richer midrange, and a more coherent top to bottom presentation.

Caelin Gabriel of Shunyata offers an excellent exposition on the topic: Why shorter is not better |
You mean to tell me that listening to a "high quality" PC in a 6 foot length and then replacing it with the same manufacturer's PC (same break in time etc) in a 3 foot length would make an audible negative difference? If you actually believe that once you exchange these two cords you actually hear a negative difference than, like the barnyard animals that sense a storm before the farmer does, I want to be hanging around with you so I am saved from the impending doom! I heard that part of the movie "Anaconda" was filmed in the listening room of someone who is convinced that longer PC's always sound better. |
