Power cords

"" Owner said that anybody that spends more than $50 on a cord is out their mind. ""

The owner should like Frank at www.signaaudio,.com. Frank only wants $49!

"" Essentially said a fool and his money are soon parted ""

He is right on this point as well. Maybe we are all a little foolish devoting so much time and money to this hobby. :) I'm sure my grandfather ( if he was alive ) would tell me there are much better things to do with my time and money.

I'm one of those who thinks a $500 power cord is a waste of money. Try Frank, I don't think you need to look any further than him. However if your incredibly curious, you can look for something used here at audiogon. I must admitt I have done the same once or twice.

Appreciate all the responses. I have come to the conclusion from all the feedback that the system I am putting together doesn't merit an expensive PC. I think $ for a decent tuner is money much better spent.

One point that has often surfaced in threads like these is that the better the equipment's powersupply the less you need a fancy cord.

there you go. you're off. one day it may, just, merit that PC. enjoy your tunes. peace, warren

Cords do make a difference. I had a Sony dvp9000es in my system and had a buzzing coming from the speakers with low volume. I could hear the noise when listening to classical music. I went over the musicdirect and picked up a new cord for about $200. The buzz was gone,the music was not lacking anything, and I was happy. This is with a dedicated outlet. I do belive cords in general are a hit and miss kind of thing.
