The previous answer is correct as far as it goes, but I don't think that's what you're looking for right now. When I replaced my PCs I started at the source. I enjoyed the improvement so much I continued all the way back to the amp. I tend to think the maximum improvement will be recognized by starting at the source. |
When I started making my own PCs I had my old 'store-bought' PCs laying around. Just for grins I put one on my monitor. It did look better, the picture was clearer. It was not important enough to me to keep the cord there so I sold it, but they do improve monitor performance too. To clarify my previous post; the better PCs improved every piece on which I used them. The improvement was biggest on the front-end though. |
Lots of magazines have reviewed aftermarket power cords. Check the archives at http://www.stereophile.com. What difference does it make what someone else thinks though? You can get a PC for under $100, listen for yourself. I quit subscribing to stereophile about eight years ago when all the talk about PCs started. That was just too much for me. A couple of years ago they sent me a subscription offer that was real cheap... so I thought what the heck. They were still talking about PCs so I thought I'd find out what all the noise was about. I bought a cheap PC and hooked it up. The difference was immediate. I moved on to better cords before going to DIY cords from Chris VenHaus. I have them everywhere I can put one now and they are well worth the cost. That's the expereince of a former skeptic. |
