What power cord do you use for your processor?


Seems reducing noise going into a processor would make sense and a better power cable than the stock cable may be a value toward achieving this.

 

Anyone find using a better power cable makes a higher end processor sound better?

Yes, absolutely helped the sound quality.  This is true for upgrading power cord on any audio equipment. 

As far as "noise generated within the processor", that depends highly on processor architecture and things like cheap capacitors or switching power supplies.

But in general, you are more likely to get "noise" from bad sources such as cable/satellite receivers and roku/apple streaming devices that use wall-wart type switching power supplies.

I use an PS Audio AC10 on my Marantz 8805 and yes it makes a significant difference.

I have everything plugged into a Shunyata Hydra using their Venom series AC cords. The Cord between the Hydra and the wall is a Shunyata (insert much fancier snake name here, I can't remember). Sounds appreciably better than stock but I don't spend my time doing A/B shootouts.
