In another thread it was posted that power cords should be no shorter than 5 feet. Can anyone explain why a 5 foot power cord should sound better than a 3 footer?
A friend was recently told by a famous cable maker that a 1.8 meter cable sounds better than a 1 meter cable.
If your power cords are shorter than 5 feet, aliens from the planet Gammar can use them as antennas to transmit subliminal messages through your audio system. This is in preparation for their planned invasion in 2007. If you are using a short power cable, shield it by wrapping with Rhodium foil.
It depends on the cord and gauge. In any case you need to get power to where ever the component is so your stuck there. Anyhow I think the best thing is to get a good power center with a big capacitor in it and have it near the components. or a little one like the ps audio ultimate outlet and have it near the sub or whatever so then run a short cord off of it. This will provide a little power in resorve by the componment so if it draws alot there is a bit in reserve A larger guage power cable also helps here for the same reasons. Vs. running a long cord from the power center to the component.
If you are just coming from the outlet just get a decent shielded cord.
