@JS - as I hope you know I have a lot of respect for your views, John. However, I have conducted a lot of ADM tests on mains cables of varying types - including Nordost - and found NO measurable or audible difference when used on line level devices. I have not tested power amp mains cables in this way. It is possible they may have an effect on power amps.
If the 1 metre or so of cable is having any effect it will be as an extra LCR across the reactance of the transformer primary (if there IS a transformer...). This additional LCR MAY filter some noise/harmonics. Personally I use screened mains cables exclusively these days. They are not expensive and if nothing else provide some extra protection against rfi. phil -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
