Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions"

here is my stereo system:

speakers: quaf esl and magnepan 1.6

digital: audionote cd2, pw audio pwt and pwd, eastern electric minimax dac

preamp: bent tvc

amplifier; VTL deluxw 120

turntable: sota sapphire, with audioquest arm and grado (least expensive ) cartridge

cables: mojo audio, sound string, ear to ear, fusion audio

accessories, ps audio power plant, noise harvesters, room tunes, sound fusion sound boosters, juice bar, bpt power strip, alan maher passive line filters, and egg crate mattressses suitably placed.

i will admit that my room is , perhaps over damped, creating a soft presentation. naturally, the sound changes with the digital source. when i use the ps audio front end, there is more extension and resolution. when i use the audionote there is some attenuation in the treble and bass.

Your system may not have enough resolution to hear subtle differences so the results of your experiments with power cords, all same brand or mixture would probably be inconclusive. I may be wrong but that's how it seems.

hi inaa:

are you basing your conjecture on my statement regarding the damping material i use, or the comment i made regarding the audionote cd2 being on the soft side.

by the way, i omitted interconnects, namley soundstring audio, fusion audio, mojo audio and ear to ear.

i would say that it would be counter intuitive if i selected specific brands of power cords, if i could not detect differences between them.

in addition, if you read my reviews, you will note differences in my perceptions of the sound of my stereo sytem related to the components reviewed.

perhaps there is another reason for your intimation.

i realize that you used the word may, but i am curious as to your reasoning.

certainly, with the ps audio transport and dac, i believe there is sufficient resolution to detect diferences in other components.

I missed this thread because of Christmas vacation. It's because of threads like this and the kind of members we have here that I love the Audiogon forums over all others.

How does one chose a power cord logically?

Are there power cords for reasonable cost that are always a safe bet?

Or does one try to tweak the best power cord to match a particular device somehow? How could one even attempt to do that other than by trail and error? IS it worth it? I'd rather just buy a good cord at a fair price and be done with it. Spending time and money tweaking a power cord is not something that has any appeal to me, but I would consider getting a good one in general and being done with it.
