Something as simple as plugging a component into the wall shouldn't be much of a chore should it?
Any working power cord will do the job.
But, some power cords do the job better than others, and only those who have done the grunt work can attest to this.
All others are only making assumptions.
Some folks seem to need graphs and white papers to back up their claims or make them feel comfortable.
Some of us really do trust our ears,because in my world I listen to the music.I don't read it for enjoyment.
You can build your own power cords.
I've done it many times.Use good connectors.I like Furutech.Recently I tried some NeoTech connectors and they were quite good.
You can also experiment with different wires of all thicknesses and compositions and from different manufacturers.
For me this is the fun part of this hobby.
Have I made anything that betters the Annaconda's I use?
No.
But,on some gear the DIY aren't too shabby.
So where to place the better power cords?
Right now I have them on all the source components,the DIY are on the power amps.
But that's because I need longer power cords for the amps than the standard Shunyata lengths.
I am a believer in keeping wires the same , whether interconnect or power cord or speaker wires.
Providing the house sound is to your liking.
