Power Cords for Ayre K-5xe and V-5xe

Regarding all power cords - they simply change the sound, and maybe not for the better. When I had a lesser system, I advocated changing power cords, but I have a cutting edge system with Ayre and actually, the factory power cords are very sufficient. I truly like them the best.

The reason my interest was renewed in the stock cords was because Richard Vandersteen told me that power cords can and do change the sound, but he doesn't subscribe to them. They can make it brighter, duller, etc which can certainly help or not the speaker/room/listener inface. In my setup, I dumped very expensive power cords that I used for my B&W 801D's and use the Ayre cords which sounded better with my Vandersteen 5A's. There is no right or wrong - you must trust your ears.
