Power cords should be as short as possible. I don't "buy" the 2 meter argument. I'm sure the 2 meter is slightly more profitable for the maker.
Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
I have the opportunity to buy a couple of Nordost power cords, Tyr and Frey at a 15 discount. I auditioned the cords in a one meter length and they made a nice improvement. The dealer quotes NOrdost as saying, it will sound better in a 2 meter. I have a dedicated circuit for my Qbase strip which has the whole stereo plugged in. I thought i read somewhere that a dedicated circuit makes the longer length improvement questionable. Adding another meter to both increases cost by about 1000. They already cost close to 5,000 so this would be closer to 6,000. I can’t test any of this. I just have to make a decision. Would like your thoughts. Thanks.

@bossa Can’t you conclude that the mose expensive component always sounds better. 😁 The more I read this thread the more I think Nordost is just pushing more expensive equipment and they know a lot of people are very suggestable and will go online and post that the 2M sounds better. Frankly I’d put my money into electronics and room treatments and use a 1m cable from ice age audio in michigan (where it is the ice age right now). Edit to add: I've never really considered Nordost so i just went and looked at their design. Frankly they aren't heavy enough for me to use them on an amp. Not enough copper. That's my 2c. |
