What power cord do you use for your processor?


Seems reducing noise going into a processor would make sense and a better power cable than the stock cable may be a value toward achieving this.

 

Anyone find using a better power cable makes a higher end processor sound better?

Used Audioquest NRG-4 power cord.  Chop the ends and put on Furutech FI-15 Rhodium connectors.

Yes, absolutely helped the sound quality.  This is true for upgrading power cord on any audio equipment. 

As far as "noise generated within the processor", that depends highly on processor architecture and things like cheap capacitors or switching power supplies.

But in general, you are more likely to get "noise" from bad sources such as cable/satellite receivers and roku/apple streaming devices that use wall-wart type switching power supplies.
