Do Power Cables Matter?

June 14, 2024

We sometimes get questions if it makes sense to upgrade the power cable connected to the subwoofer, receiver, amplifier, etc. This is a heavily debated topic, and you’re of course entitled to your own opinion. In our opinion, this rarely makes a difference. As long as the cable is of sufficient thickness and doesn’t have any defects; it shouldn’t really matter if your power cable costs $15 USD or $1500 USD. If you prefer a more expensive cable due to the visual improvement, that’s of course perfectly reasonable, but I wouldn’t expect a massive sonic improvement.
