**PS Audio Lab, a DIY or a stock Rubber 14ga cable. I try not to make fun of the "magic cable" theorists anymore, but must say I'm pretty unamused by all the "add this magic _______(fill in the blank with 'tube,' 'cable,' 'isolation device' 'etc.' and then all will be perfect" posts, they don't phase me at all--Too much experience to the contrary for that BS.**What were the differences you heard with different power cords or are you saying you didn't hear any differences with different cords?

Sorry, I don't like to review cables, as the changes they make, to my ears, are always most trivial, especially given the price involved. Differences exist, but I've rarely found myself using phrases like 'clearly better and clearly worse' when I evaluate PC's, because everytime I do I have a friend switch cables on me when not looking and they stump me most of the time, in spite of my convictions. I ultimately choose the cheaper cable and live happily with it....Sorry, I'm not a cable freak, don't believe the cost is justified for "tone controls" and prefer to stick to one well made type of cable and work around it.Regarding the Panny, the PC's "upgrades" in general improved the bass noticabley as others indicate, added a trace more detail and maybe extended the dynamic range, but nothing to get excited about and difference where small between them. Sorry, I'll NEVER be one to post more then a few sentences on cables, they just don't matter to my ears, thankfully, just as those who can't hear or can't justify the difference between the $300 panny and thousands of dollars of seperates should be thankful....FWIW, I actually just recently cut $1400 worth of cabling out of my main system (the though of having that much money in cables shook me as I sat thinking of it one day), and you know what, I don't miss them at all, rather, I put that money in better components and now have clearly improved sound, just less jewlery.
