I use a DIY powercord with my Unico. I find that it sounds smoother and has more precise imaging than the stock cord supplied with the Unico. It consists of Belden 19364 14/3 SJT wire with Marinco plugs. The shield is connected to ground at the wall plug end only. Very inexpensive to make.
Upgrade amp power cable or not?
I just got two Monster HTS2000. Do I still need to upgrade the power cable for my amp? I have a Unison Research Unico Hybrid amp. What does a high quality power cable do that a stock pc can't. I can never understand the importance of the pc. If the wire in the walls are only as good as home depot cable how can a high end pc help? Does it improve current? Or does it reduse power line noise? Please help me justify a pc upgrade or not. Thanks.
