Power cords

Pbb: I can sympathize with your desire to stay away from what can seem like pointless arguments over irreconcilable differences. I would just remind you that you are not just writing to those who respond, but also to the (probably far more numerous) lurkers, a lot of them new to audiophilia. You do them a great service by expressing your skepticism about some of the more inventive claims made for this or that miracle product.

I really worry about the newbie who's told that, "if you can't hear the difference between a wood shelf and a glass shelf under your preamp, there's something wrong with your hearing." There's probably nothing wrong with his hearing, but he goes away discouraged.

I swore to myself that I would never again get involved in another PC discussion. listen to Garfish, Sugarbrie, and Bob bundus. These guys know what they are talking about.
3 cheers to these 3.

The general consensus is that power cords do make a difference (I have been convinced many times over). You may have several feet of Romex in series but...
The same can be said about the cheap appliance wire used in speakers and we all know that speaker cables make real improvements.

Being somewhat skeptical, I chose to make my own PCs AND dedicated lines at the same time from Belden 83802, which is 12AWG/2 with shield, using only FEP (Teflon) as insulation. So the 30-50 feet from my service panel is ONLY this stuff. At $2/ft it was easy to make a separate line for the CDP, pre, and two for the monos.
I must say I hear a difference. My already-dead-quiet system seems clearer, cleaner, maybe a bit more dynamic. No spectral shifts (fortunately). Differences in interconnects are now more readily discernible.
I might buy another 100 ft spool of this stuff if any of you want some for lines or cables. $2.50/ft if I do it.
I think there's somebody out there selling it for $3/ft.
100 ft spool sells for about $200 shipped.
I don't really buy this notion about 6 feet of PC "resonance" that has an effect on the system downstream.
Changing ALL of it to clean copper in Teflon inexpensively just seems like a simple semi-scientific no-brainer without all the high-priced alchemy. Cheers. Ernie

Pbb, with respect, are you sure you are talking about audio equipments? :-)
