How can power cords make a difference?


I have read many threads about how "wonderful" this or that power cord made my system sound. For the life of me, how in the world can a 3 ft power cord make an improvement? Each manufacturer supplys a power cord.I can't imagine them puting something on thier unit that would not meet thier needs. After all, the power comes from the utility company into your house, you run a dedicated line to your equipment, you put a line conditioner/surge protector between your equipment and now you have clean consistant power then magically you have great music. What can 3 feet of $200 0r more power cord make a differance? Sounds like expensive VODO! Am I missing something?

What they do is separate the good electricity from the bad. A sort of St. Peter’s Pearly Gates or Santa’s list, if you will.

If they are too short (now we know), then some of the nasty electricity gets through and invades your precious equipment. This filthiness manifests itself in less than absolutely-positively-unquestionably black backgrounds (when it could be blacker than black, mind you), and countless other aural malaise. So it’s molto important to have at least 6 or more feet of really, really expensive cable if you are really serious about nabbing all the sinning particles of power.

Once you accept this as your mantra, you will sleep better at night and I’ll be able to recommend some excellent psychiatrists. I am fortunate to live in a large northeast US city where there are many understanding doctors who don’t mind when I come in for sessions wearing a interconnect for a belt and two beefy PCs for suspenders.

Now, let’s talk about vinyl or compact discs...
