AC captive cords???

Um, just to be clear, I was just having some fun with what Eldartford said. Sometimes we need a laugh in this 'serious' hobby. I'm a firm believer in power cables. For a serious answer to the original question, I had a similar issue with the captive power cords on the Marantz MA700 mono amps I use to drive the subs in my HT rig. I replaced them with cryo'd CDA 101 copper wire of 13 gauge net, and I did notice a small improvement in lower-bass punch. Of course the original factory captive cord was only 16 awg, so that probably explains most of the difference.

Tplavas...It's too bad when we can't laugh at ourselves!

hey guys, no offense taken, its all about having fun and not taking things to serious, i try to take my chill pill on a daily basis... :^)

For captive cords the Highwire Wirewrap works.

Try one of ZCable's Zsleeves over it.
