Power Cord


I hear people talking about these cords and I am not sure
of what they mean. Is this the plug-in wire from the
back of my CDP to the electric outlet? Can changing it
make a difference in sound? If so, any recommendations?
Thanks for the info

Yes, thats just what power cords are. If you have a non captive cord on your CDP,Amp, receiver, DAC,Pre-pro, or any other piece of gear you can replace it. I have tried Moon Audio,ZU Cable, JPS and a few others. It's a big tweek and chances are you will hear a difference. Have Fun!
There was virtually no activity in this area about 6-7 years ago, and when I first heard of it 4 years ago, it sounded most unlikely. I ended up borrowing one (a Cardas Reference) from my dealer and could not believe the difference it made on my CD player. That cord did not make much of a difference on my integrated amp, but a TG Audio HSR made an amazing improvement.

So, yes - they do work, and what's more frustrating, they are system (component) dependent. If you tell us where you are thinking of using one, someone who owns the same gear as you may have a recommendation.

Buy something used and get your feet wet. Make your own, if you are handy. You won't believe how well they work.

I think they can make a big difference, but many people disagree.

Definitely search the archives and you'll witness some spirited and varying opinions.
