Re: To Paul Mc: why should a power cord still influence the sound

I know it is hard to imagine - but there it is. proff in the pudding.

There's a couple of things going on.

First, the area where your stereo system is located happens to be one of the noisiest environments in your home! Add to that the RF and whatnot floating around in the air, and you have a wonderful 6 foot long antenna in your power cord.

Further, if you have a wimpy power cord that restricts the power out of the Power Plant then you just shot yourself in the foot.

The power cord differences you hear plugged into the raw AC wall socket are about the same as what you'll hear plugged into the Power Plant and pretty much for the same reasons. remember, even though the Power Plant has cleaned up the AC signal and regenerated it anew - you still have to get it from the Power Plant's output to the AC input of your equipment - and this in perhaps the noisiest environment in the home.

Don't know if that helped or not?
