I just ordered a new power cord from Frank at Signal Cable and must say that it was a pleasure talkiing to him. He mentioned that he has sold a few power cords intended for TV's and my question is has anyone swapped out the stock power cord from their TV for a after market one? Did you see a difference in PQ?
I expect a difference from my Yammie reciever with Franks power cord but hesitated on the cord for plasma. Any thoughts or experiences?

    I've never noticed a difference in a video source in regards to a PC upgrade but the cost of an aftermarket cable, Signal Cable or not, is fairly nominal, so it's just a standard swap for me.

    I use Signal Cable for all my power cords as I found no audible benefit in the more expensive brands. YMMV.

    The only thing I have used that has noticeably improved my sets PQ is my Richard Gray 1200s power conditioner. I have tried PS Audio power cords, Shunyata Power cords and Harmonic Technology power cords and did not see a difference. That's not to say it can't happen- just not here....yet.
