I have no doubt others will disagree however I have compared .5/M,1/M, 1.5/M and 2/M and I could not detect a difference.

Once again I'll stick with the first comment I made on this post. BTY; I have spoken with a few major power cord manufactures and they told me power cord lengths on the short side will not impair the sound.
