Hi,

How important is the quality of power cords in a high end system?
Does it really make a difference in sound?

Thanks,

Slightly off topic:

A pro amplifier designer of my acquaintance told me that he hated IEC
power inlets for amplifiers because he had measured up to 7V drop across
them in test.

Anyone else agree / disagree ?


If that ever really happened, the socket would overheat and burn out.
He may be referring to the combination of plug, socket and fuse -
which would make him pretty incompetent.
