AC captive cords???


Was wondering if anyone has thoughts on what to do with a captive AC power cord, my sub has one, and i'am looking for suggestions on improvements... Has anyone used the mapleshade method of cutting and replacing with their cord? Thank-you...

Eldartford,

It's important to note that the bills must be the older, 'uncolored' versions. The dyes in the newer bills increase dielectric absorption, and will result in significant coloration in the upper to upper-upper googlehertz region. Of course it can be difficult to hear the difference if your system isn't tweaked properly. I find isolating my loudspeakers from the floor with short stacks of 100 dollar bills really increases the dynamic slam and midrange bloom, especially when listening to vinyl that has been properly 'burned in' by repeated playing for a minimum of 25 years.
As always, YMMV.

(Thanks for letting me play, I needed a good chuckle today)
Ahhh... the non-believers sneer...
I am in-between. I believe, but in moderation.
Personally i would get some belden shielded cord (# from Jon Risch website via audio asylum)
And stick it on with a decent Marinco plug.
Total cost: $25.
Of course you can get a $1,000. cord....
I bought 70 feet of the Belden shielded and am having fun making my own powercords.. cheap. I am cheap... really cheap.
And you are NOT gonna hear much more from a sub over a cord.. unless the original cord was way to small.
I agree with Elizabeth. You're not going to hear any changes in the subwoofer's low frequencies by changing a power cord.

Power cord benefits are apparent in the mid-bass, midrange, upper midrange and high frequencies.

IMO, FWIW, Amen, All Praise to Allah.

Kumbaya.
Thanks for the response all, i'll have to think about my options... Eldartford and Tplavas, are you guys sure your not rolling up those bills for other things beside audio???(:^)----
IMO, FWIW, Amen, All Praise to Allah.

Tvad I checked "my page" forum threads to see how the, do power cords really make a difference thread was doing, and its gone. Over 300 posts down the drain. Guess the nonbelievers won that one.... Speaking of power cords I bought a PS Audio "xStream Plus"
2 meter power cord for my Arcam Alpha 9 CDP, $130 bucks shipped. Big difference over the old aftermarket non shielded AudioQuest cable I was using.
