It isn't uncommon for folks who are enjoying nice rigs to stay clear of the power cable upgrade black hole. My Audiolab CDT6000 (CD transport) had a stock power cord supplied with unit. On a whim, I ordered a Pangea power cord from Audio Advisors thinking I was wasting everyone's time since I planned on returning it and report "snake oil" alert post. Now look....I purposely bought the cheapest upgrade from the stock one they included with unit. I paid $39.95 for a demo .6 meter power cord. I hate to have to say this but resolution and bass depth is CLEARLY improved! The stock cord was coiled up (a no-no), wrapped in EMF cloth and tucked behind rack. So it did have some disadvantages I admit. BUT for those of us who have tried to resist the "cable wars" (and extra expense) just go crazy and try one in on a key component then come back to tell us "snake oil". I am enjoying a clearer sound for whatever reason. And on the cheap cheap
Older Power Cables
In my current system, I have three older moderately expensive power cables: 2 from PS Audio purchased about 24 years ago for $600 used and one MIT Zip Cord II purchased new. I was just wondering what will differences will I likely be able to "hear" by replacing them with some of the newer power cords that is currently being market.
