Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m


I have the opportunity to buy a couple of Nordost power cords, Tyr and Frey at a 15 discount. I auditioned the cords in a one meter length and they made a nice improvement. The dealer quotes NOrdost as saying, it will sound better in a 2 meter. I have a dedicated circuit for my Qbase strip which has the whole stereo plugged in. I thought i read somewhere that a dedicated circuit makes the longer length improvement questionable. Adding another meter to both increases cost by about 1000. They already cost close to 5,000 so this would be closer to 6,000.   I can’t test any of this. I just have to make a decision. Would like your thoughts. Thanks.

@urbie  Are you going to post the same comment on every power cord thread? Have you personally done the comparisons against the specific power cords that you denigrate? Offer up more than what appears to constitute a sales pitch.

 Facten,

actually I have and obviously you haven't done your research and it's not a sales pitch it's a fact ofc copper is inferior to OCC single Crystal copper and you can ask anybody on here that knows anything and they'll tell you the same thing,OFC copper has 400 Crystal barriers per foot they're little fractures in The wire and the signal has to jump through those little fractures and it causes the sound to be hard, bright cold, edgy, any one of those things are all of those things together, OCC single Crystal copper has zero Crystal barriers in 700 ft so you get a much more natural open three-dimensional sound from OCC wire, companies like transparent and MIT that rip people off when they're using cheap ofc junk wire and charging $40,000 for a speaker wire is a rip off as far as I'm concerned and anyone that pays $43,000 for a piece of wire should have their head examined, and just so you know there's now something even better than round OCC single crystal wire and that's rectangular OCC single crystal wire which outperforms the round OCC, I've been at this for 40 years and I've tried all kinds of cables that's how I know that OCC single crystal is far superior to anything ofc on the market and just so you know my system is worth $70,000.

Out of curiosity, I'm wondering if you have had an opportunity to audition any other power cords in your system. I ask because when reading your original question it sounds as if you have not experimented with other power cords.

I'm not saying that Nordost power cords aren't good, but what I'm wondering is if a different less expensive power cord ($500 or less) would accomplish your same goals. If you wanted to share your location perhaps someone in your area would be willing to lend you a few after-market power cords.

Sorry @urbie but what type of wire is only part of how a cable sounds so when you say "OCC single crystal is far superior to anything...." I don't agree. Have you heard the Furutech Project V1 cable? I've heard nothing close this after 40+ yrs of hearing many, many different power cords. Once heard there is no going back to anything else IMHO

I have not heard any other power cords other than these PS Audio pluses which I was given and seem to not do much for the sound.  I'm located in Fitchburg, Wi right next to Madison.
