@jeffreyw I totally agree with you. I am using 2 Audioquest Dragon HC PCs for my ARC Ref 750s. One is a 2 m and the other is a 1 m. They both sound exactly the same.
Power cords: does length matter?
This is a serious question, however if you don’t believe that anything about power cords matter, and you feel the need to make a joke out of the question, feel free.
Anyway: I have noted that all the stock power cords that have been provided by the manufacturers for my equipment are about six feet long. After looking at various aftermarket power cords on the internet, I note that they can be ordered in various lengths from one meter on up.
I would think that the shortest possible power cord in any given application would be desirable (meaning one meter if it would work), but I find that a lot of notions I had about things like this are often wrong (such as what I very recently posted on misc about manually tripping breakers to protect components). So am I also mistaken about selecting lengths of power cords?
TIA for any and all legitimate consideration and answers to this question, and to all others, enjoy the laughs.

@ghdprentice Yes I did have 2 - 2 m HC Dragon and 2 - 1 m HC Dragon PCs. One of my dedicated outlets for my amp is about 1.5 m away and the other dedicated outlet is about 3/4 m away from my other amp. At first I tried both 2 m HC Dragon PCs on both amps. Had them hooked up for about a month. Then I used a 1m for the one amp that was about 3/4 away from 1 amp and continued to use the 2 m for the other amp. Had them hooked up for about another month. Both sounded exactly the same as having both 2m. But we are also talking about the AC Dragons HC. The top of the lines from AQ. |
@ghdprentice That really would be interesting and fun to visit each other systems. I listen mostly to classic rock , soft rock , pop, Motown , some county , some jazz , some classical. My volume is typically 80 - 86db. |
