In Reply to: I first used my BP-3.5 with a 3' 10-gauge extension between it and wall. When I removed it... posted by Jim Stoneburner on November 11, 2003 at 11:50:39:
Perhaps I am the only one who's brave enough to say this here against the prevalent practice? I like to hear from others who also have flirted with different powercords and powerline conditioners and then finally reverted back to stock PC.The powercords I have used include Shunyata Powersnake King Cobra ver2, Viper ver.2, Python, Straightwire Blue Thunder, PS Audio Lab Cable and Kimber Palladium and PK-10 Gold, MIT Zipcord II. Somehow still prefer the stock powercord's overall neutrality. The stock powercords sound most neutral. Don't expect yo'all to believe it, but it doesn't alter the intrinsic sound and enable any good recording to really give all its best. Different styles become obvious, good performances sound great and great performances simply take my breath away.
It useful to remember that certain manufacturers like Naim, Lavadin, Conrad Johnson advice their customers to refrain from using after-market powercords for reasons that they alter the intrinsic sound and does not really offer genuine improvements.
