My brain tells me power cords make no difference. My ears tell me they do.
Let's talk power cords
Does a upgrade really make a difference over a stock cord?

@willemj I know, but, when I used another power cord - a standard power cord, not a thick audiophile one - I was able to influence the noise by moving the cable, twisting the cable, and then I realized, it was acting like an antenna. So I *think* it contributes to my issue. Every little bit helps, and I will take what ever it takes - right now I'm taping aluminum foil all over my racks and it appears to be improving my situation. 👍🏻🤓✅ |
@thirsty93 You will find a general question on these forums to be taken very seriously. And this discussion has been very good, showing you just how important a power cord is to a system. My power cords (Harmonix Studiomaster) are now picking up cellular frequencies in the 700-800MHz range. So in my system, I can hear this signal at a low level just above the natural room noise floor. So now I’m on the hunt for a new power cord. I wonder if any manufacturer test against picking up Radio Frequency Interference? |
