Power cord replacement suggestions


If i were to delve into the fanatic behavior of replacing power cords, is there some concensus on where the most impact would be gained, whether on source, pre, or amp, or is it just different for every system and need to experiment. Thanks for any advice.

I would imagine that it would depend on the component and how much resolving power it has.
+1 droleg.

PS- I hope you can find a difference in sound with you new cables. I am in the process of switching out some power cords, if you like, you can try them.
Droleg, you do know that you can plug a 15amp male plug into a 20 amp female outlet without issue?
The 20 amp circuit allows more current to flow than a 15 amp before the breaker trips, hence the recommendations to use 20 amp for your stereo wiring. Things like amplifiers can have transient power demands that a 15 amp circuit might 'stifle', the 20 amp gives a little more headroom.
I am probably using the wrong terms, but I hope you get the idea.
If only Almarg were here....
