I have to say, I was skeptical of the whole “power cord” thing initially. Then I decided to go there. Wow... they REALLY can, and do make a difference. Having said that, what is really a serious uptick in performance, is the receptacle. I have PS Audio receptacles, and that was a huge change in performance. I can’t speak to Synergistic Research, but I highly recommend a look at upgrading your power source, then auditioning your cables.
