Quad 57s with after market power cords

Changing power cords is very efficacious for my Kingsound King III ESL speakers (reviewed for Dagogo.com), and in fact I tune the system partly by using different power cords with the ESL speakers' power supplies. 

I had several people insist it would not change with power cord. I invited one repairer of Quads to come; he heard and admitted he was wrong. 

Good point regarding outlets, maplegrovemusic. 

I used homemade power cords made with braided Kimber cable. The original Quad power cords are crap. Relatively speaking, of course. I also ran my 57 Quads competely naked. No grills, no dust covers. They’re bad news. I also used the Arcicci stands.

Amen on the sans grills! One of the worst moves in listening, imo, is to shove a screen ahead of a driver. :(

I replaced my 989 stock cords with panga 9's.   Made a difference and didn't break the bank.  You can find them at audio adviser.  Good luck and please post your finds.
