Stock Power Cords?

Hi
Try a used Synergistic Research Master Coupler for around 150 and you will be amazed. Stock pc do no have the same conducting materials, design and shielding.
I was wondering about pc years ago and now my system powercords cost more than IC and speaker cables. In fact, my King Cobra V2 retails more than my CDP.
Good luck and you could always sell the pc back if you don't like it.

I can't make you any promises, of course, but when I owned my Classe Seventy (the forerunner to the CA100), the addition of Synergistic Research A/C Master Coupler made a positive difference so large, I wouldn't have thought it possible if I hadn't heard for myself. This degree of difference, however, has not been duplicated on the other pieces of gear I own that can accept the cord. With the Classe amp, the SR cord opened up the soundstage, and extended and smoothed the frequency response while reducing grain. Taking the cord out made the amp sound rough and closed-in. These cords can frequently be found here on the 'Gon for about $150.

Buy one from a place where you can return it if you are not happy, and try it out. That's the only way you'll know if it makes a difference.
Before you do that, though, spend 10 bucks and replace your wall outlet.
