Any problem with a long power cord?


I have rearranged my listening room again, to move the equipment rack closer to the listening chair, but I am limited by the length of my longest PC as to how far I can go...

Are there any concerns about signal loss or anything like that, and is it hard to find PCs longer than 6'?

Signal loss? What signal? You're talking about AC, son.
The electrons already traversed many miles from the power generating station to your home, what's another 10 feet or so? Just get a cable that's beefy enough to handle the current demand and has a nice solid connector on it and you're done.

Don't sweat the small stuff - and this is DEFINITELY small stuff.

What a life we audiophiles would have, if all we had to worry about is only the length of our power cords?
I'm with Rlwainwright. Do not worry about this until you get to lengths of around 100 feet.
I guess I have a hard time taking PC advice from someone that doesn't have any good ones in their system...

A few years back , I had the same problem. I bought a Hydra 2 and used 2- 7 foot power cords on it, that will give you a 14 foot stretch.

Actually, some Audio people claim that power cords like Virtual Dynamics or Purist actually are better longer since their cords are designed to clean the hash.
