Change power cord to the Ultra

I was about to post that this is the craziest thread on this forum I have seen to date then I thought hang on, maybe it’s to do with the crap household electricity system that they have in the US compared to the European and UK systems. In the US you have 2 pins +/- no earth whereas we have 3 pins - +/- and earth.

I might accept that a power supply can influence SQ but not the basic cable ahead of the power supply. That’s crazy.

I think the plug would get on the way on that one. Might be easier to get something with a smaller profile.

I am not following. Why do you consider the plug on this too big for the back of the Ultra?

Yes you're right, it looks like it's low profile enough. Either way best to purchase from somewhere that accepts returns, so if you hear no difference you can send it back.

Just by the looks of it I can already say that this cable will have absolutely nothing to add compared to your stock cable. There's no shielding or anything since it doesn't have a GND pin to begin with. To me it's looking rather cheap even. The only difference is the twisted cable, probably just adding 20% - 30% in length to the actual conductors inside. Not worth the premium price.

Here's where they already lost me 🥲

I thought for a long time that the compulsive urge to explain and to know everything better than others is purely our German affair. A good while ago I added self-declared "audiophiles" to this species. For sure its an international phenomenon.

It says specifically designed for bluesound and sonos :D . But buy the two meters one. Wireworld states in general for its power cables that their power conditioning effect is more effective in bigger lengths.

It's advised to have longer power cables, at least grounded ones and in terms of the audio quality.
