Re: Power cords can be antennae

Sure power cords can be antennae, so can all the unshielded wire in your walls. And unless you have a line filter, the shielding does nothing at all. In fact if the filter is at the input to the component, a shielded power cord is pointless. The filter would have to be in the plug/receptacle to make a shielded power cord usefull. Sorry, I just don't buy the argument. My Rotel CD player has a very nicely implemented line filter just inside the chassis. What would a shielded power cord do for me?
