Power Cable Suggestions.

I'm waiting for the local utility to offer audiophile grade electricity. Until then, it's just like pumping sewage through gold-plated water pipes - it's still just sewage.

@mggartner  That’s precisely what good power conditioners are for.

True. But does that mean an OEM power cable is going to “uncondition” the power after it comes out of my power conditioner?

@mggartner Yes, it could very well allow noise in, restrict current, etc. that better power cables typically do a much better job with.

It could be that the engineers designing equipment that sells for hundreds and even thousands of dollars don’t know that their OEM power cables are restricting current. Or maybe some bean counter is deciding which parts to use. We’ll probably never know. But if I trust the brand, I trust the parts they supply. (And no, I can’t really afford to spend thousands on power cables. It doesn’t bother me though. I have as much fun with the audio hobby as anyone.)
