Power Cord

I think they can make a big difference, but many people disagree.

Definitely search the archives and you'll witness some spirited and varying opinions.

I agree with the Cardas Golden Reference Power Cord recommendation. It makes a very big improvement with a lot of different components. Jallen

If you're skeptical, try an inexpensive one first. The Absolute Power Cord is a good for that won't cost an arm & leg. If you don't like it, you can sell it here, and get most of your cost back...here's the link to them.

Upgrading the power cord can make a big difference, especially if you live in an area with lots of RFI, or in an apartment or older building. I live near the Dulles airport, and it made a big difference in video and sound when I upgraded my DVD player cord. If you want to try a cheap alternative first, try a $25 power wrap from amusicdirect.com. just wrap it around your standard power cord and give it a chance. You can also put it on your receiver, tv, cable/satellite box. If you see a difference you may want to upgrade those components with real power cords. You don't have to spend a lot of upgraded cords, either.
