Yup Power Cords


For the last year my system has sounded fine, but something was missing. It was clean, clear, full, spacious, but lacked emotion. Great but sterile sound.
Then on a lark I decided to buy some inexpensive AQ power cords.

Uh huh! ! ! PRAT ! ! !

They transformed the sound and added emotion. I hear things that I never heard before. I didn't believe that power cords could make such a difference. I had been through several speaker cables and interconnects. Start with power cords folks. They have made a huge impact on the sound of my system. I have read the arguments over cable and cords and interconnects, and I can't understand it, but it is the best and cheapest tweak with the largest impact to my system. I am truly stunned by this.

I know many of you do not believe any cables make a difference, but I hear differences in most cables in my system. If fact a cheap silver interconnect is now my favorite, and before I could not stand anything silver in the chain. Go figure!

Let the discussion begin.

Rats - You're right about what "Hospital Grade" means. They're far smarter than to believe a power cord has an effect on the equipment.
Audiofankj - I use Transparent Power Cords throughout my system including Super level Power Cords to my M-L Ascent i's, so I feel rather comfortable in the reality state in which I'm living, thank you.

I have tried other cords, and if there was a change, it was at best, extremely small. If cords make for a drastic change, then something's screwy with your incoming AC.

Maybe since I have dedicated AC for the system the difference between cords doesn't make for the audible epiphany others report, as I've tried swapping out a significant number of different cords on most all of my components, and the difference was negligable.

And hospitals would never fall for the snake oil BS this hobby tolerates. They use high quality cords for spark suppression because of the amount of pure oxygen in the vicinity, that's all.
