RE: Active Subwoofer Power Cord

The benefit of a high-performance power cord, especially a large gauge power cord intended for high current power amplifiers should provide the same betterment of the subwoofer bottom end as it should for the main loudspeakers power amplifier(s). In my case, the outboard Bryston power amplifier I use for a customized stereo subwoofer rig is located 10 feet away from an Oyaide R1 Beryllium AC outlet installed at the wall, so I opted to build a large gauge DIY VH Audio Flavor 4 power cord (9 AWG aggregate gauge, self-shielding star quad design) for the benefit of high current demand, and the lack of braided or foil shielding for unrestricted dynamics, and terminated the power cord with Oyaide 004 Beryllium AC connectors based on how well the 004 presents the bass characteristics of the subwoofer system, and of course how well the 004 Beryllium AC connectors mate with the same product line R1 Beryllium AC outlet installed at the wall.
