AC PWR cable to PWR Conditioner???


Does it make alot of sense to buy a quality power cable when it will go directly to a power conditioner? I have a Monster Cable Conditioner that has a hard wired heavy duty power cord so I cannot replace it....easily. Thanks for your inputs!

I've been wondering the same thing. If i ever get my act together, i'll be doing some measurements on various power cables in terms of noise floor, etc... Having looked at the design configuration of the stock cord, it could probably be improved in theory. Given the fact that the Monster pretty much reduced all of the noise on the line down to nothing it might be of little benefit though. The less filtered plugs, like those for an amp, might be the ones that benefit the most from doing something like that. That is, if you plug your amp into a Monster or other similarly designed PLC.

I agree with Bob in terms of folks trying to "cheap out" by using a "hi-tech" power cord to feed the PLC and then use "stock" cords to all of the components. Even if the "good" cord and PLC minimize the incoming AC noise to an acceptable level, the stock cords still make excellent antennas for RF while radiating a magnetic field around them. Sean
