..so you think there's no need.......


I have Vandersteen 5A speakers which have a sub section that's powered by its own class D amp....very efficient...needs little power. The power cords look like Home Depot specials.  Yesterday, I found an old Transparent brand power cord....what the heck.   I substituted the HD left cord with the Transparent, the result is a major sonic improvement, not only in the lows where you'd expect, but in the soundstage mids/highs.  Although I can't pinpoint a difference in sound from the 2 speakers, I now have to explore a 2nd power cord for the right one....I don't expect I'll ever find a Transparent power cord after all these years.

RV designed an excellent and rugged sub amp, bigger version used in 7’s. There are some threads on this forum about DIY cords for the sub as only a certain IEC fits.
Stereo5 has restored my faith in this place......

The reason most "audiophile approved " power cords don't fit is because the IEC connection must fit between the cooling fins of the bass amp.  Most of these cords have a bulbous Iec plug.
@stringreen,

It went out this AM via USPS Priority. I sent you two PM’s. I had to spell out the tracking number in the second message. Enjoy.   There shouldn't be a problem with the IEC, its molded on to the cord, easy fit.
stereo5, thank you for the reaffirmation that there are truly decent people still out there in the world.
