That may be true but at least now we have actual proof of the wisdom of your earlier post. Years ago at the beginning of the upgraded power cord craze I had to have my Aragon power amp serviced. When I was picking the amp from the manufacturer's facilities I happened to run across the actual designer of the amp and I asked him about using these expensive power chords. Basically what he said was that the stock power cord was more than adequate to do the intended job but he saw no harm in trying a different power chord. Would it change the sound, maybe. Would it make the sound "better", again maybe but highly unlikely. One thing he did say was that selling the amp with an upgraded power chord would make the list price of the amp quite a bit more expensive with no discernible sonic improvement. Since that brief conversation I've avoided buying any expensive power chords and have saved myself quite a bit of money. But as we like to say here:YMMV -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81454 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
