Great thread of useful power cord info, thanks!

I have just did some power cord experiment, and much to my surprise, I was able to hear the difference between different material/geometry, every combination sounds different

Just found the thread WOW, good reading. Markl you pulled it off. Good work. My head would be spinning when I got done.

And then, ... as if that were not enough ..., he went on to invent and perfect a tweaking process (with lots of listening involved to evaluate each experimental trial) for the Denon D5000 and D2000 phones to make available a currently purchasable set of phones which provide R10, or better, quality. I'm starting to think that markl is the real-life Buckaroo Bonzai.

Many are on ebay ... you can have a pair at 1/4 of the sale price.

They expansive, not certifiated and difficult to install ... it's why they not very popular.

I have 3 power cords, 1 coax and I enjoy them.

For anyone who's interested in Wolff power cords, I wouldn't wait too much longer. It looks like he's going to be hanging up his soldering iron soon:

I'm not a power cable believer, but congrats on one of the best written reviews I've read.

It is also possible that the superior power cords act as a sort of “conditioner” on the power line, conditioning the electricity before it enters your component.
By that logic, would you say that a longer length of cable is always better, since it removes more "harm" done by the stock power cabling?
Also, how much do you think is reasonable to spend on a power cable, provided that even a cheap line or LC filter produces results that are much easily measurable than the effects of the cord.

I have been using Michael Wolff power cords for sometime. I couldn't agree more with Mark1's assessment. His observation that Mike's PC do not add weight is spot on, but with the right application is nevertheless a very fine product indeed.

Wow, another epic review by Markl I've just discovered. For people not convinced by power cords, try this trick: Plug one into an LCD or plasma TV and watch a movie from a blueray disk. If you can't trust your ears, trust your eyes.

Yeah, this also reminded me when i put a network filter, the most results I saw with my eyes

BTW, great thread.

I'm trying to decide between the Wolff 400HD and the VD Nite 4 for my Wadia. Any help to decide between the 2 would be much appreciated because both aren't covered in this great reference.

I really like the VD cabling and have it throughout my system. I hope to get the Master 4.0 XLR for my balanced amp.

I have a question for you guys.
I'm about to order some Audio-GD cables for my Audio-GD gear and I was wondering if I should consider connecting a better power cable to my pc.
My pc is my source and could it provide better SQ with a quality power cable?
Has anyone tried using Audio-GD on an LCD computer or other applications?
