Here's a controversial (yet undeniable) statement. I added after market power cords to my reciever, subwoofer, and DVD player and each and every one of them made a difference in sound. In a nutshell I now have added bass (on sub and all speakers). And the other biggest thing was the sound tightened up. I got a second, third and fourth opinion on this...and all agreed when I did an A/B. For goodness sakes people...even MY MOTHER noticed a difference!

I just wanted to post this as a note to all who have the ability to upgrade their power cord to highly consider it. It's a cheap way to make a big sound difference. All three cost under $300...and one of them was 20 feet long (subwoofer).

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
