Re: Use of c7 powercords vs. standard to an adapter

For whatever it is worth, I haven't seen anything that leads me to believe the Cardas and Audioquest cords are exact substitutes. The Cardas comes only with a polarized connector (and, not that I have seen so much equipment, I can't say I have seen a component that requires one, although obviously Cardas has some particular applications in mind when marketing the cord). The only Audioquest C7's I have seen have been the more typical unpolarized connector so can be used with the usual DVDs and music servers that take C7's. (The PS Audio also looks unpolarized in the pictures I have seen.) So, from what I have been able to gather, you'd have to choose either the Cardsas or the Audioquest. However, Riffer's post suggests there might be versions of either that I have not seen if he or she has been able to compare the two products.
