it's the connectors.
Follow Ups:
I've built a lot of PCs lately, and the wire is every bit as important -- assuming that the connectors you use are boderline passable (e.g., at least $4.95 at Home Depot) and the wire is something like Belden 19364. Won't beat the ones I mentioned, but the resulting PC will sure beat the stock cord.
Dave, what do you think of those Home Depot orange hospital plug receptacles? I've been thinking of trying one. How much difference would it make?
Short answer -- I simply don't know. I had hospital grade receptacles installed at the time our home was built and dedicated lines installed. At the time (1994), the better quality "audio grade" receptacles didn't even exist, AFAIK. I know that these can be much better-sounding than the orange ones, but I still find it a little hard to believe.
