In Reply to: Anyone have experience upgrading a Marantz 1060 powercord? posted by j_thunders on June 12, 2007 at 11:40:06:
That's the draw of a healthy outdoor light bulb,or about a fourth of what a microwave oven or toaster draws. In relative terms, it's practically nothing. Assuming your stock cord is 18 gauge and less than 25 feet long, what's the problem? Is it worn out?
If you're looking for something that "sounds better" you're defeated before you start. The 1060 uses ancient circuit design that's been obsolete for years. No new cord will fix that. A newer, more transparent amp design would sound better right out of the box.
Better yet, get a newer amp and get your head out of forums and magazines that make you neurose over idiotic imaginary "improvements" like power cords.
