TV power cords; Money well spent, or money wasted?


Hi Folks,

First, A happy, healthy, and abundant New Years to all (where abundant = any tangible, or intangible, that you either need, or desire).

I just purchased a new Sony Z5100 TV:
Bravia 3 engine (whatever that is)
240hz refresh
10 bit panel
TV is networked
Sony N460 Blu-ray

Shunyata SR-Z1 outlet-->Audience au24 "e" pc-->PS Audio Quintet.

My questions: Would it be qualitatively beneficial to upgrade from the TV's stock pc? If yes, have you any suggestions for an appropriately priced pc for the setup that I currently have.

As always, any and all input is appreciated.

Good luck. I was just noting that one down-side, other than the cost of the power cord, is the risk as to the warranty. Antenna would not be relevant (know the comment was tongue in cheek) because that was not a supplied product.

You could roll the dice and use a 3rd party power cord or hold off until the warranty expires and then do so. A third option is to use the cord now and then lie about using the power cord if you have a warranty claim, although that would be illegal and wrong.
An aftermarket power cord will do no harm to the panel- it's just not going to happen. If you have the opportunity to borrow a better cord from a friend and try, I would recommend it. With many displays, it does make some difference that you might find worthwhile.
I sold an old Transparent PC to a cop for $25 who's not a videophile and he saw the difference.
I might try some all new Infinity Strings power cables from Alan Maher Designs later on
