I have always had Chord Company Signature X power cables on my K22G4 and K41G4 ever since I got them about 10 months ago.
They are coming out of a Chord Company PowerHAUS power strip / Sarum T power cable system.
I did an experiment and swapped back in the supplied power cord - one at a time.
The K41 stock power cord didn’t last long, it was a very easy to hear downgrade. The bass had much less impact/tune, and was also slightly a smaller soundstage.
Back to the Signature X it was.
What I didn’t expect was absolutely zero discernible sound quality difference with the stock PC vs the Signature X on my K22.
I went back/forth 5/6 times and if there was a difference with the more expensive Sig. X, I just couldn’t tell.
Anyone else notice this, that the K22 is more immune for whatever reason to a better power cable when used with a K41 ?
I assume my PowerHAUS / Sarum T kit would negate to a certain degree the better power cord requirement on my Antipodes components.
For the K41 - absolutely not- the Sig. X is obviously a better power cable to me and it’s staying in place but the K22 is clearly not - in my system/room/my ability to pick up a change.
I did this check as I need to sell one or both power cables to find another upgrade soon - a Network Acoustics Origin PSU upgrade.
