I intalled Monster Power Center and now my Rotel 1056 power cord is short. Does Rotel offer free exchange for longer cords?

Why would they make power cords so short? :roll: It's all about the money.Comment

My Rotel cords range from 4.5' to 6'. That's actually more than most of my other equipment. How long is your cord? Even 4' should be plenty.

Kev,
my Rotel 1056 sits on the lower shelf and Monster Power Center on the top one. The distance between two is about 5 feet. My cord is only about 3 ft. long.
May I use any long computer cable to replace the original Rotel cable. They seem to be compartable and both made in China.Comment

There are any number of after market cables available in two meter lenths for around fifty of sixty bucks...Comment

You can use any power cord as long as the ends are compatible. Three feet is a little short. My 1098 was one of the longer one's at about 5.5' I would say give Rotel a call and let them no your situation. Never know what they will say.

Kev,
I just called Rotel Tech Support and they refered me to my local RatShack. They said that I need IEC 16 gauge wire power cord. Any comments? ;x(Comment

Yes. Rotel uses standard IEC cord. As long as the gauge and # of pins is the same you should be fine.Comment

Personally, I find that most cords (power, interconnects, etc.) for my home theater equipment are far too LONG. My Pure AV power conditioner came with a 12 foot cord that was incredibly beefy. I only needed about three feet to get to the nearest outlet, and the extra cable was a major pain to find someplace to stuff it. So, I surgically shortened the cord to four feet, which works perfectly with a little length to spare.Originally posted by Cooldmitriy
I also remember years ago having a discussion with a high end audio retailer. I wanted extremely short interconnects, to go from one component to another that it was sitting directly on top of. The shortest the dealer had was three feet. I wanted cables about 9 inches long. He said, they wouldn't cost any less than three footers. I said, I don't care if they cost any less, I want short cables.
In general, I always want the shortest possible cables to get from Point A to Point B.Comment
