Get real !! I built a number of Do it Yourself power cords, and other audio cables with Belden cable and Pass & Seymour, Hubble, etc combinations. And I must say, the results are not good. My motto is that I spent this much money (+40K) on my audio equipment, I am not taking any short cuts on do it yourself stuff. There is a reason why that Belden cable is $.50 a foot, because it's Crap. Let the pros build the cables and same as the other categories. We can also build $10K speakers and amplifiers for about $1000, but guess what it will not sound as good. You are kidding yourself if you think all power cords are created the same and sound the same. If that was the case why don't we build our house too ourselves, it may cost only $20K in material for a 200K retail. I am a realist and sick and tired of the so called Mythology. Go for it all you McGyver's wanna be !!
How come a power cable changes the sound?
A good power cable definetely changes the sound but how ? A cheap 2,5 mm copper cable comes upto wall outlet and comes through a fuse (which has very thin wire) than we add a huge heavy power cord which cost 500$ than the sound of the equipment has big improvement What is the technicial logic and magic out of that ? Thanks..
