Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap?

I was thinking the same way you are like you say alumium wire into your house $12.00 for 250'in your house, how will the last 4 feet make any difference?????? I still don't know but it does! after putting it off for many years,[ i was into this before interconnects made a difference ] I came across a deal on a Kimber pk 10 gold for $150.00 so I thought why not. Believe me I am sold 100% By exchanging tne power cord on my Wadia 860x the difference was not suttle. Clarity and air there aso seems to be more definition. Better all around. I wil be getting one for my amp real soon. I still dont know if I would spend $1000. on one but you owe it to yourself to try.

You do owe it to yourself. I was not convinced until I listened myself. How does it fix the electricity in the last four feet? How does a Pur Water Filter clean water, even though it's been running in a polluted river? Most high-end power cords don't just conduct well, they actually improve the power itself. Try and you'll see what the fuss is about. Cheers! Recco: Expensive: Shunyata, BMI Whale Elite; Cheapo: www.diycable.com, get this Asylum Cord. Amazing!

Jinmtvt,

Seems like just more smoke and mirrors sent directly from the same marketing Gods who brought you $19.95 instant paint scratch remover for your car. I'm a world class cynic when it comes to high end audio, but these really work. Placed some LAT International cords on my VTL monoblocks and Ensemble all around my digital and the results are unquestionably positive in a large way.

Don't know why, don't care. Less glare, more detail, better attack. It's truly weird.........yet wonderful. LAT power cords can be found for a very reasonable price at echohifi.com.

I must agree with the previous posts. I tried one on my ARC cd player. I thought it would be maybe a minor inprovment. It was a best buy situation. Big bang for the buck. I am using the Custom Power Co."High Value" cord. They aren't lying about the high value part. I want to put IEC plugs on everything I own. Maybe not the coffie maker?
