    RSX-1067 and Upgraded Power Cable

    Hoping for some guidance and have not been able to find in of the posts here. How do I upgrade the power cable for my RSX-1067. All the upgraded power cables have the ground connector - whereas the Rotel does not. It there a specific company that makes cables/adapters?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Why do you need to upgrade? The factory cable is shielded and works just fine.

      If you want to experiment with different power cables, any of them that are a standard IEC on the receiver end will work. The third ground prong will do nothing and harm nothing.

        I would invest in a quality power conditioner like the Rotel RLC-1040 before trying power cable upgrades. Or try both at the same time. The Line Conditioner will give you more bang for the buck. I found thats all I needed and gave me a very smooth sounding system with less distortion. A large difference. :sn Exotic power cables MAY have lowered the noise floor after much swapping of cables. A difference?:huh: Of course I did not demo any power cable over $150. Good listening.

          Agreed...
          the RLC-1040 performs measurable (can be seen on test equipment) improvements to the utility (wall power) no smoke and mirrors - 100% science and I find it to be an important element in any system, think of it as an essential piece of gear...

            803Ds delivered - have to decide on cables soon (power cables for Monoblock amps)
            by indiebands
            My 803Ds were delivered on Tuesday and I have been having a good time during the burn in period (not sure neighbors can say the same). My local stereo guy has recommended speaker and interconnect cables which seem like a good fit to me. However, he's also installed a pair of fat power cables for each...

            Upgrading power cables on my Rotel Equipment?
            by Horacio
            I'm contemplating upgrading my system with new power cables and would like to know if you think/know if this would improve sound quality.

            I own a Rotel system: RCD-1072 CD player, RC-1070 pre amp, RB-1080 amp, with the power cables provided by Rotel, Nordost interconnects, B&W CM-4s,...

            Power cables, what are your thoughts?
            by migliore
            Please put yourself in one of three categories:

            a) never tried after market power cables

            b) tried them but didn't make a difference

            c) tried them and did make a difference

            If you tried some, which cables and what is/was your system?
            ...
