Before deriding these power cords, I do find that they often help and, sometimes, they help quite a LOT.

I have an old Audioquest power cord that is out of production now, evidently, and I remember it only costing about $35 or so, and that is why it is only 0.6 meters long (because I didn't want to spend anymore).

I always rated it as an average upgrade easily bettered by other power cords. I also have a Pangea AC14 power cord that I was using. A lot depends upon the particular application, I understand now. Damn, my DAC is doing so much better with the audioquest now. So, I was looking for another one!

This is what I do: email the manufacturer, find out what they use when they developed the component, and use that.
