^ Not to mention, changing the original cord won’t improve performance unless it’s corroded or defective in some way. If your goal is the placebo effect, you can get one of those quantum, tychyon manipulating, unobtanium pronged noise supressors that plug into an adjacent outlet, or just install a Synergistic Research fuse.
A better lamp cord for my stereo equipment?
A lot of space goes to the 14, 12, 10 gauge, monster-sized, plug in, power cables. Rightfully so. I have my favorite power cables in place on my amps and also on some of my source equipment. But, some of us have older pieces in our systems and many of these older pieces do not have the plug in, switchable cords. I have a few pieces that were built with the old, permanent, lamp cords.
I've alwys wondered about those cords, but I never see any posts about them. Service people don't like the idea of drilling out the cord opening in older equipment to allow for thicker gauge wires, so we seem to be stuck with similar sized cords.
Have any of you ever upgraded/replaced your cords on older equipment? Do you know of a better grade of lamp cord out there? Would just replacing the plug help?
