The last response is almost 100% correct. It is a waste to spend $hundreds and sometimes even $thousands of dollars for a power cord. People don't realize that their is internal wiring coming out of the socket. Then from the socket down to the box which is standard 16 guage, sometimes 14 guage wiring. That's why if you are going to upgrade, buy something that bridges the gap of standard power cords to the over priced, over inflated power cords. I have to tell you, I just won a few of those Edge power cords on Audiogon's auction, and it was the best small investment I made for my system. To make a long story, I sold my Cardas Golden power cords, and Magnan Signature power cord. I couldn't justify tying up that much money for such a subtle difference. For one tenth the price, the Edge was just as good, and in some ways better. This cord is very neutral, and quiet, it's king of a no frills, but effective way of improving your system. I compared the Edge power cords just to my Levinson standard power cords that came with the amp and preamp and their was about an incredible increase of detail, dynamics an resolution out of my Thiel 7.2s'. I am very happy with my purchase and plan on buying 2 more Edge power cords for my digital set up. Brent
