| Ideal power cord lengths? I just read the other thread on the merits of lifting cables off the floor with purchased or DIY cable risers - it’s even more contentious than this thread! I plan to TRY using risers at some point, will attempt to do a blind test somehow, and th... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @lalitk , I know it will make a huge difference, but thank you anyways! I am also considering what I can put in front of my TV while listening to music.. | |

| Ideal power cord lengths? I love how this cable (and in particular power cord) debate has raged on for decades…. It seems that both sides always end up talking down to the opposing side. All over whether or not you believe a power cord makes a difference in your HiFi sys... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @lalitk , I agree, I am going to tackle room treatment next, before dealing with vibration/coupling. But I might start considering vibration control and learning more about soon as I simply plan to engage a qualified expert to specify how to trea... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? I mentioned already but for me the stress of figuring out how to solve my system issues related to some sonic aspect that troubles me is FINALLY over. I find now it is more relaxing, and in fact highly enjoyable, to consider how I might improve my... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? Early in your journey, when you are stretching just to get into what may be barely considered “HiFi”, speaking from my own experience at least, your mindset is just on obtaining the gear you can barely afford. The last thing you want to hear is th... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? I completely get why it’s tough to make sense of things when it comes to HiFi. I get it; I have an engineering background, and nothing in HiFi makes sense. In this hobby common sense does not apply, and is often inaccurate. The fact that a USB cab... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @ghdprentice , good luck. If you can swing it, I do recommend the Firebird or Dragon cords. Hurricanes do sound very good as well, but I find there is more air and more of a 3D presentation of instruments and vocals with the higher end cords. That... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? Thanks again @ghdprentice , and your results are consistent with what I’ve seen others report. When I was trialing the Niagara 5000 I definitely sound my amp preferred to be plugged directly into my second dedicated line as well. But I ended up w... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @ghdprentice , finally, someone who tried the comparison! Thank you…. What I am also interested in however is how power cord length factors in when you have a second cord that powers a conditioner. For your test, were you testing your Hurricane... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? Wow @pennfootball71 , thanks. Impressed you have those recommended lengths by vendor at your fingertips! Would you know of the ideal length for Audioquest? And, how those recommended lengths might vary if you have one cord for a conditioner and ... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? No amp will draw more than a few amps continuously. You definitely have RMS current covered with your full house of 12AWG! And your breakers won’t trip as all they care about is RMS. Heck 20A breakers are overkill for RMS current demands of your a... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @1971gto455ho , no, that stuff is not what makes the real difference. I’ll let you in on my secret: all the magic all is in my beefy 10AWG AC lines…. WAY better than wimpy 12 or 14 AWG! | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @bigtwin , The end of the chain is the most important. It’s a filter for all the noise on the public grid. Both for THD noise coming into your system and eventually manifesting in your speakers. And as a blocker for noise generated by your gear th... |
