Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ?


I've heard many things about the length of a power cord. What is the ideal length of a power cord to give it a chance to perform at its best before connecting to an amplifier?

Reviewed your system pictures and award you the prize of most thoughtful presentation of pictures I’ve ever seen.

Interesting system and took interest in all those dedicated circuits you have.

Thickness of a power cable certainly is important as you indicate do to better noise control via assumed better shielding.

@jasonbourne52 - Have you ever sat side by side with an audiophile that claimed to hear differences in power cords?  I'd be curious to have you paired up with someone for some blind testing that started at the macro end of the audiophile scale where everyone would agree that audible changes would be expected (e.g. similar speakers) and then work down the rabbit hole to see where you jumped off the "I can hear it" train.

Always make sure that your power cords are measured in meters, because the ones measured in feet just don’t sounds as good.
