Powercords and Speakers


I own a pair of Von Schweikert DB100's speakers that contain a seperate amp in each speaker that powers the bass. They came with their basic cords that are plugged into the wall behind each speaker. Do you think switching up to a better powercord for each speaker will have a worthwhile sonic improvement? I'm a believer in good powercords and use them for my components (Ensemble and Foundation Research LC-1). But since the speaker takes the signal from my mono's, which already have quality AC, and uses it to engage the bass amp; and since we're only talking about bass reproduction are improved power cords worth it? Thanks

I don't know your exact situation, but when I replaced the stock cords on my Quad 63s, it made a very nice difference. The AC is used to power the stators; I would guess it should make a larger difference on the built-in amps on your speakers.

How about this: Get accustomed to listening to only one channel of your stereo (say, right channel) then move the left mono amp power cord to the right Von Schweikert speaker and listen again. IF the PC reaches, you've just tested your idea at no extra cost.

Good Luck!
