Is there a minimum length for power cords?


A cable manufacturer's website states the following:

"However, any length shorter than 1.8 meters (5.9 feet)will begin to degrade the effectiveness of the shielding and filtering capabilities; regardless of who is the manufacturer. Power cords are not like speaker cable and interconnects where shorter is better."

Does anyone have any thoughts or experience as to the validity of this statement?

With about 100 ft. Of wire in a transformer and another 100 ft. In the wall, the question should be how robust your power supply is for the amplifier and how much headroom you have is. The whole picture needs to be seen.
