do martin logans improve with good power cables?

Definitely improved my Quad 988's!

I have a pair of Martin Logan CLSIIA's, (and have owned many of the ML models) and have tried several different power cables on all these speakers. All made a difference. Some for the better, some for the worse...kind of like all power cables.

So yes, they will make a difference.

Here is a discussion from the ML Owner's Group:

thanks for the link!? haha!
a bit of confusion over there....?

i will have to try it out for myself, just really wanted to know if they had any detrimental effects on the speakers, before i begin my experimentation.

thanks,

Yes ML's will change with a Power Cord Change. And like changing PC on components, some PC will sound good, some will sound worse. You just have to find the right PC for your setup that you like.

IMO with testing, the change will not be as dramatic as a component change.

That ML forum is rife with guys who buy-in to the power cable voodoo. Frankly, providing the cable is capable of carrying the current required and offers reasonable RFI shielding, why would anyone spend big coin on a pwoer cable?

If the stock power cable was not up to the task, don't you think that ML would spend the extra dollar or two and provide a cable that improves the performance of their speakers? Think about it...
