power cord for electrostatic speaker


Hi folks, I would like to know if you have some suggestions/recommendations regarding the use of special after market power cords for electrostatic speakers (Sound Labs). The power consumption of such speakers is extremely low, so I don't think power cords would have audible (if there is any) impact. What is your opinion? Isn't it a bit ridiculous to spend 2 x US$700 worth of power cords only for electrostatic speakers?

I have CLS IIZ LE, power cables make zero difference at all. The electronics in the speakers will filter out any noise in the line. Plus, like you said, there is hardly any power traveling thought them anyway.

The human mind is very tricky, if I spent $700 on power cables then, yes I will here a difference. You already think they are going too, thats why you bought them, so you better here a difference. See what I'm saying?

If you are going to, try some Audioquest NRG2 they are about $105 for a 3 foot cable. Much less expensive than the ones you are looking at.
