Any Audio Grade Extension Cords???


I thought everything was all planned out with my new audio cabinet (custom built wood) but alas, I find my tuner needs to be located well away from my pre-amp -- about 6 feet. I've got some good rca cable to connect the two but my built-in power cord for my tuner needs to be about 4-5 feet longer to reach my power supply. Does anyone have experience with audiophile extension cords? Is there such a thing? Does it even matter when the rest of the cord going to the tuner is stock Marantz (no IEC)? Thanks in advance.

Ozfly; I think you're headed in the right direction. At one time I needed a longer power cord for my amp and having nothing else, I plugged it into a cheap 20 ft. 12 ga. hardware grade extension cord, and it absolutely KILLED music quality-- it wasn't even listenable. I ended up special ordering a 14 ft. Syn Res Master Coupler, and with it music returned to wonderful.

I know this is not your situation, but it was my experience with a cheap extension cord. I believe Cardas makes a high quality extension cord with several outlets. Good Luck. Craig
I'm the mule who's assembling DIY PC Kits of Belden 83802 for folks for $32, or $69 assembled. I'll be glad to build you an extension cord using a fine Leviton Pro connectors (AC male and female...instead of IEC, eight?), for $3 more to cover the connector cost. Write me for details, and have a fine Thanksgiving. Ernie
Nobody`s mentioned signalcable.com who has a 6' extension cord that`s a version their Magic PC for $59. I`m ordering one up for my Velodyne. Robin
Save some money. DIY. Buy some Carol cable 12/3 SJO (available at Home Depot (gasp!)) and Marinco Hospital grade ends. Cost ya about $30. Do a blind test with some expensive stuff and I bet you can't tell the difference.
