Hello once again,
I stumbled across a number of very interesting threads here, while researching other things, that concerned high performance power cords. This would include the record setting "ultimate thread" that started out being about GTT Audio's $50.00 power cord, and ended with people offering thanks to the heavens for the Virtual Dynamics Nite power cords at a price that would feed and clothe a small village for a year in the deep South.
Now, I am a fairly serious audiophile, as the cost of my current audio /home theater,system would attest. This, of course, also explains why I am required to eat Kraft "boxed" macaroni and cheese at least five times a week to balance the finances!
However, I've ALWAYS considered the exotic/expensive replacement power cord hype to be absurd. having read all of your input in the previously mentioned threads, you do have me wondering just a bit. Because I have learned a great deal of respect for many of you here in this forum, in my time here, its significant to me that quite a number of you think otherwise, especially those of you who also were unbelievers and who have been converted (Kelly?).
I might consider risking spending say, $50.00, possibly even as much as $75.00 if you could honestly convince me that my Corda HA-1 Blue, and my ears, would truly benefit from it. And IF I were to consider that, what exactly would you recommend that I buy? The aforementioned GTT Audio power cord, the Virtual Dynamics Basic? The Power3?
Your opinions, suggestions, recommendations and overall wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
JC
