TT Power Cord

Not sure Lew...nothing to do with the basic operation of the cable. I think it may have been a case of Health & Safety (or the Insurance industry) gone mad i.e. someone may have insisted on more generous clearances between the cores rather than allowing them to flirt with each other hundreds of times per metre. :o(

One thing I can tell you is that the current "Palladian" range are not braided - just regular parallel cores - although that might have changed since they were first released. Further info from the gallery is welcome(?)
All the best,

I will be sure not to add any 8TC to my Cheerios.

Thank you all for your insights and opinions. It seems, like always, it comes down to trying different cords and figuring it out for my system. The original question was a general inquiry as to whether or not this was the one place in the audio loop that everyone agreed a cord or cable didn't matter. For better or worse it seems that everything matters. It's really a pretty awesome hobby. Good listening!
