Dwhitt,

Depends on the PC.... In the case of a regular run of the mill factory non shielded pc that comes with the equipment it would not make any difference in the length. But when you cut off the factory plug and install a new plug then the quality of the new plug coupled with how you terminated the wires on the plug could make a difference.

In the case of audio grade aftermarket PCs a shorter cord may very well degrade the effectiveness of the PC. Especially in the case of shielded PCs.
Shunyata states the minimum length of their cables is one meter.

In closing you need to stand your ground! Today shorter PCs.... Tomorrow, potted plants setting on top the speakers.
