Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Alrighty then

First of all, putting a $30 Pangea cord in context with "the world's most expensive cables" is a bit of a joke.

Today, virtually all high powered amps must be grounded to pass code. What I've experienced with using a range of aftermarket power cords, both commercially available and DIY, is improved ability to transfer necessary current (yes, Virginia I use 20A dedicated circuits for my amps) and multiple ways to minimize RMI/RFI interference. The results are better dynamic punch and clarity especially at the top.

While turntables don't require current, they do benefit from noise rejection. Long ago, I replaced the dinky lamp cord attached to my Ariston RD-11s turntable with shielded 14 gauge Belden cable using a high quality plug. That indeed reduced noise in my system.
