About a year ago I got the pass Labs XP 27 phono preamp which is without a doubt a great phono amp. But I had not a terrible power cord it was an average power cord it wasn't a stock one it was named name brand one I think it was that cheap venom and I still could not get good sound from my vinyl recordings and a friend of mine recommend that I change out the power cord again to something good so I so I ordered a Kimber kable pk14 know this was brand-new but the difference it made in the sound of my phono preamp was nothing short of amazing it just made my day like some equipment that you purchased does I just could not believe it
powercords
I certainly have, personally, experienced the improvement power cords can make on amplifiers...how about their value on other items, such as preamps with external powersuppies, and phono preamps....I know better than to apply layperson logic, which doesn't always work in audio, but it would seem that items that draw less "juice" would be less prone to changes in power cords....thoughts welcomed, but experience more interesting to me.....thanks
