In Reply to: Power cords no advantage with 240V supplies? posted by John C. - Aussie on November 10, 2003 at 16:26:07:
G'day, mate ... my experience too. This power cord craze seems to be mainly of interest to those poor benighted folks who choose to live in 110v countries. As a result their half mains voltage means they have mains currents twice what we experience.How about some comment from 240v inmates in Europe and Asia?
I would second your point about the need for a dedicated, thick-wired power spur - say, two or three runs of 30a wallflex connected at the switch board to a 30a circuit-breaker. However, all components should be plugged into the ONE circuit ... if you have multiple circuits (for, say, isolating source components from power amps), you can get differentials in earth potential on the different circuits - which can increase system noise.
However, I can't resolve an opinion on whether shielded power cords are a good thing. Have you played around with these? I have so many power cords with my active system and 6 monoblocks that it is probably pointless - and certainly a great deal of effort - to make up some shielded cords and experiment.
Regards,
Andy
