C7 - two prong Power Cord make a difference ?

Sorry, I meant to say "unshielded" rather than "ungrounded" The third prong on the wall plug would only shield the cable, not ground the component.

I would get an adapter myself; Voodoo and Pangea make good ones for most uses. I have a Voodoo 15 to 20 amp and a Pangea C5 to standard PC and both work well.

A while back on did quite a lot of comparisons of C7 power cables specifically for my TV and blu-ray players.

Like on audio equipment, good power cables can give subtle improvements in the picture quality that is worth pursing if you are a videophile.

The Audioquest NRG-1.5 was better than similar priced Furutech and Oyiade C7 cables. But the very best, better than the Audioquest, was the Mapleshade AC cables, specifically the Double Helix Mk2 with plus upgrade.

These are pure hair shirt cables, each conductor is solid core and must be kept 6" apart from the other leg, there is also an outrigger wire on each side of the conductors than must be spaced further out. This makes a mass of wire behind your equipment rack that does not have high WAF.

I did put the Audioquest C7 on my PC speaker/sub and it improved the sound over the stock cable.

A C7 cable that I have on my MacMini 2010 is the Oyaide L/i15 EMX. It's a PCOCC-A.

I like it. A definite improvement over the stock Apple cable (Volex) and not expensive.

I got it through Chris VenHaus... the Lotus Group is the distributor. Good stuff.

I use the Nordost Purple Flare power cable with C7 connector now. I used the AudioQuest NRG 1.5 in the past.
