Sanctuary is right. I had eight different power cords and tried each one on a component, the best sounding pc stayed, and then I went through each component and chose the winner. Here are the results:
* Musical Fidelity HT600 5 channel amp w/ Acoustic Zen Silver Reference interconnects, Yamamura Quantum power cord.
* B&K AVP3090 pre-amp w/ Harmonic Technology Pro-11 AC power cord)
* Sony DVP-9000ES SACD/DVD player (w/ Acoustic Zen Silver Reference(analogue) & MC2 (digital)interconnects, and an Acoustic Zen Tsunami pc)
* B&W Nautilus 805 speakers w/ matching stands, HTM-2 center, LM-1 surrounds (w/ H. Tech Pro-9 plus bi-wire cables)
* REL Strata III subwoofer , XLO custom Neutrik Speakon conector and DH Labs BL-1 for 5.1 out, and H. Tech Pro-11AC pc)
Sometimes the differences were subtle, but sometimes it was like giving a component steroids, so my advice is that it is worth the trouble to get your cabling right. Good luck.
