@wrighton I do find a difference in the sound between different lengths of powercords and the sorter ones I don't care for as much but a good short cord is better than a cheap computer cord. Remember it is your system and what you like not what I would choose nor any other poster. They best advice I could give you is try it yourself then you know for yourself and your tastes. There are many poster that as soon as something costs money it is all false could never be anything correct about this or that product because it is not free. Keep that in mind when reading on here. What's best forum seems to have a group with passion for the hobby and not as many pretenders.
Power cord length
I upgraded all my power cords to Nordost Red Dawn. My cabinet sits directly in front of outlets. I have McIntosh MC830 monoblocks. Originally I purchased 2m lengths but don't like all the extra cord clutter so purchased a 1m length for left channel amp. After the fact I read Nordost spec sheet which stated minimum length 2m is recommended. Dealer stated "2m works the best for it to really filter". Also, both cords must be same length for "time alignment"; when using monoblocks "different length wires will sound slightly different". I am thinking to buy another 1m for right channel to solve timing thing and additional clutter cleanup. Ok, that's my situation- I am requesting explanations/opinions/knowledge/recommendations- I read a similar post awhile back and seek additional clarification. Thank you.
