Power cord? Why?


I see a lot of posts regarding power cords. I would like to know what sonic difference they actually make. Could anybody explain this in a simple way?

Thank you

Eldartford - 99% of modern copper wire is oxygen-free. It's mostly marketing bruhaa.. There are a few examples of poor wire, but if you use a reliable source like Belden, Alpha or Carol, it's all good stuff.

Now, if you want the best-sounding wire, you should try continuous-cast copper. This is good metallurgy. you can get this at vampirewire.com.
Iasi - I understand that Roger contracted Coda Technologies to design the Innersound amp for him. Same guy that designed the Coda and Continuum amps. I have heard from one of my dealers that Roger is not a cable believer, however he does spec a low-capacitance cable for his speakers.... It is hard enough to convince believers.......
Audioengr, i believe in speaker cables and in interconnects as i've herd differences between diff. cable manufacturers...and i believe in power cables for SOME applications, but not in all of them...happy listening!
Due to the design of the Innersound amp, which is somewhat similar to the older Threshold's in terms of design theory for the active circuitry but not power supply, the amps will go into oscillation and self-destruct if you use a high capacitance speaker cable with them. That is, if you don't use Impedance Compensation networks with the high capacitance speaker cables. Roger does not like very high capacitance speaker cables and, from what i've been told, thinks that they are an "abomination" of some sorts. I've also been told that running very high capacitance speaker cables ( like Goertz ) with the Innersound amps will void your warranty. Sean

According to Phelps Dodge research dept. continuous wire is more of an exercise in marketing than reality. Once the wire is bent it has as many fissures as any other copper wire. Remember, copper is a crystal and all crystal structures are brittle.
