Replacement Plasma Cord, Shielding???


I want a longer Power cord for my 58 inch Sammy plasma. The only HDMI it touches is the one that goes from tv to processor, so not the source hdmi cables. Therefore no audio is going to tv obviously.

The one that came with the tv is a 6 foot shielded right angle cord. I went to my local parts store (u do it electronics) and they have the right angle cord but it is not Shielded and it is not UL listed i believe. Not sure if either of these matter???

Should I be getting a Shield power cord??? The gentleman at the store claimed it would not make a difference, not sure if he realized my set up of course.

If so does anyone have an suggestions for a right angle shielded option??? RAM had some custom made ones and it would run aprox 60-80 with shipping. Am I pushing it with the one from the local store??

thanks all,

David

If all you're trying to do is get a longer PC, I'm sure if you check the internet, an electronic parts supply co. should have a sheilded right angle PC. However, I will say, changing out the factory suppied PC's on all my equipent has yielded improved the audio/video performance. I'm not talking anything fancy, just PC made w/good quality IEC and AC plugs using (CCI) Carol Cable "Seoprene" wire, either 16 or 14 guage, depending on application. This wire is not shielded however. It may matter in your situation w/your plasma TV. There's a great website called, I believe, AVSForums which talks about Video/TV's etc.
