Do power cables mAke difference on powered woofer

I upgraded my power chords for all my electronics from audience powerchord to their new "e" powerchords. It's a nice improvement.

I have only not upgraded the power chords on my spreaker' powered woofers as they would require a long run 8 foot minimum and so more expensive and question whether the upgrade for a powered woofer would be really palpable?

Thoughts?

Thanks

On my powered subwoofer an upgraded power cord definitely made a positive difference.

I am running a MIT AC-1 on my Revel B-15 A.

I keep telling myself it made a difference :)

A sense of humor is key in this hobby!!!

I had a set of speakers with active subs.I tried a number of different cords on this connection.The PCs definitely make a BIG difference.Start with a Belden/stock cord and experiment.If it doesn't trounch the Belden,then try another.

I found this to be the oddest surprise in all my years of experimentation in audio. My speakers are Vandersteen 5A's which have powered subs...the upper range coming directly from my Ayre amp. When I changed the power cord on the internal Vandersteen amps, the whole sonic picture was improved...not only the lows. The speaker as a whole became cleaner, clearer, greater depth and width, etc.

I agree with Stringreen when it comes to the entire speaker...MIT Z-II cables on the Logans did some amazing things for clarity, and it's a fairly resonable priced cable in the cable world.

New from Joe Abrams, 2 meter's are about 150.00.

Used as low as $75.00.

It was a slick upgrade.
