Hi,

How important is the quality of power cords in a high end system?


**Not at all.


Does it really make a difference in sound?


**Nope. I prove this regularly to people who are deluded into thinking
that it makes a difference. Follow my logic:

I use an amplifier which has no speaker relay protection systems.
Therefore, when it is unplugged, it can still deliver power to the
speakers, for as long as the main capacitor banks can supply it. The main
filter caps total 250,000uF. This means the amplifier can deliver a
handful of Watts for several seconds. Plugging and unplugging the amp
from the 240VAC mains supply is inaudible to all listeners. Therefore,
there can never be any difference between power cords.



Ahh, thats because your capacitors are already filled from the corrupted
supply :-)

Corrupted mains supply does not equal corrupted audio delivery - as long as
the reservoir cap/s has/ve more reserve energy joules than demanded by
programme material dissipating into load.
