Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ?

@hilde45

Reviewed your system pictures and award you the prize of most thoughtful presentation of pictures I’ve ever seen.

Interesting system and took interest in all those dedicated circuits you have.

Thickness of a power cable certainly is important as you indicate do to better noise control via assumed better shielding.

I have a transparent power isolator and many of their Power cords. Glad to hear it reduces the noise. I’m skeptical about noise analyzers because they tend to make the problem sounds really bad by amplifying the noise so you can hear it. But if you move them around to different outlets in your home you’ll see differences. How meaningful this will be to your system is anyone’s guess.
 

Even dedicated circuits Will share noise from everywhere else in your house.  I installed a dedicated circuit with 10 gauge wire so the electricity supply would be more responsive to audio system demands, ie. Not impeding those electrons.

Also skeptical of really nice power cords being recommended to attach to a company’s power conditioner. They contend it makes it even better. It may make things better like they say.

Nevertheless, if your system is very revealing and on the upper end, having well shielded power cords and an unrestrictive power conditioner has merit.

Blown away by your record collection.  I remember having a 45 Record player with an automatic Stack feeder which for singles made a lot of sense.  For you, and probably not kosher, how nice it might be to have an automatic feeder for your collection.  That way you can plan out a whole afternoon and never have to get up and those late night parties will never have to contend with extended silence.

How does one choose and then find what to play?
