In Reply to: 8800 TripleC and Minimum Length? posted by atkinsonrr on August 19, 2020 at 01:25:36:
There are very few power cord designs that have a minimum recommended length, such as the Van den Hul Mainsstream Hybrid power cable with a noise filtering layer that needs to be no less than 1.5 meters in order to function properly. Otherwise, practicality is the best rule to follow.Unless I have a situation the requires a longer length than usual power cord, I always build a 1.5 meter (5 foot) power cord, even if the application can use a shorter length. Since I swap-out power cords throughout various audio systems as part of my hobby, I never want to be stuck with a power cord that won't reach a component.
If your set-up allows 0.75 meter power cords to be used without issue, that's perfectly fine, atkinsonrr. However, power cords that are less than 0.5 meter have not performed as well as longer lengths in my experience, so I would opine that folks should beware of power cords that are very short, indeed.
