Does AC Power Cord to Linear Power Supply matter?

Saw you at JCat forum. Good!

BTW, since you have several aftermarket PCs, why don't you try for yourself? Choose the PC you deem makes the least impact in your system now and replace it with a generic PC. Get used to the new sound. Then use that aftermarket PC for you linear PS and listen for changes. Cheap and easy test, and you can see if it makes a difference in YOUR system. That beats all others' opinions.

I purchased a Linear power supply for my DSPeaker unit that works with my Fathom F-113 subs. A quality power cord did provide better performance.

@Lewinskih01, Obviously, I could make the comparison myself and at some point will. However, I have a few components that still need more burnin in, while there's a June 1 price increase deadline looming on my preferred power cords and I'm currently on the road. So, this (LPS) being new, I wanted to see what others had found.

Linear Power Supply is a noisy switcher that operates at 120Hz. Current from mains is drawn in narrow spikes of high amplitude. Cable should have enough frequency response to handle it and to shield it from radiating out.

"Linear Power Supply is a noisy switcher that operates at 120Hz." This is key.

The PC is a 2 way street, allowing noise from the power supply to flow back into the mains and corrupt your AC to other components in your system in a very negative way. You won't hear the noise, but it will degrade SQ in subtle ways. Inserting a Shunyata Alpha Digital PC to the power supply of my Lumin made a huge difference. It is specifically designed to address this issue. AC borne noise is grossly misunderstood and underestimated by the average audiophile. Successful measures to eliminate it can result in stunning improvements in a system, equal or greater than a major component upgrade!
