What the heck is a power cord?

Here's some good info for you. Go to the home page & on the right side under the heading >Learn< click on the link that says >Discussion Forums<. When that comes up just type in what you want to research.

Almost all ads are for removable PC's but as you guessed you can hard wire these or install an IEC jack to a component. Do a search for whatever & you'll be enlightened.

Welcome to A-gon.

You're not a dunce. That's a legitimate question. Actually, you have the right idea. A power cord is indeed what plugs in from the componet to the wall source. It's just that many components have removable power cords. This is the market that these are designed for.

Welcome to the money pit:~). Once you've invested a couple grand in power cords you'll need a power conditioner to plug them into. Then plug that into the wall but not until you run those dedicated circuits from your electrical panel. After that it's all down hill just figure about a grand for each pair of interconnects and two grand for speaker cables. Have I mentioned components and speakers yet? Figure about thirty thousand for a basic rig. And please don't get me started on sub-woofers, component stands, plasma screens, center channels and, and, and oh yea how about a vast collection of software. Figure a thousand cd's for starters and if you’re a movie buff five hundred DVD's should get you up to speed. We'll talk about vinyl a little bit later.

Welcome to Audiogon, you are now what we call an Audiophile so crack open that checkbook and lets get started!!!

In all honesty Rome wasn't built in an hour but if you stick around you'll learn more then you need to know and have better sound than you could ever imagine.

Sincerely welcome to the web site and feel free to ask lots of questions.

The cords are mostly removeable cords as mentioned. The are for gear with and IEC power cord socket. What is an IEC socket? Look at what the power cord on your PC is plugged into. If you are ambitious you could hard wire a better cord to a component without an IEC, or you could have an IEC socket added.

Glen, you forgot to mention the $50.00 PS audio power port for the dedicated line. I dont think a 99 cent leviton is going to be audio grade in this application.
