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

RE: Alrighty then

Are you referring to noise generated after the outlet?

Before and after. Your system is a source of EMI/RFI noise. Myriad other devices on the power line are sources of EMI/RFI noise. All of it. :)

So it would seem to me that any noise cancelling effects would have to be at that outlet point.

Indeed there are enthusiasts who invest considerable funds into Oyaide outlets. As for me, I use heavy duty Leviton hospital grade outlets for their firm connectors.

Otherwise a good 12-14 gauge cord should be fine. being the rest of your house is wired with 14 gauge.

I'll continue to disagree with both assertions.

I've found audible benefits in many systems using aftermarket cabling of larger gauge and apparently you didn't pay attention to details in my post. Hint: the audio system has its own lines. And, FWIW, I had an electrician add a line to the closet in the garage which is also 12 gauge. :)
