Title: Captive power cord to IEC adapter? Post by DanG on 02/04/26 at 00:08:30 Does anyone do this? Use a converter for the captive power cord to IEC to take advantage of better power cables? So I have older electronics, a Nakamichi cassette deck, and music on cassettes I can't get anywhere else. Will plugging the captive power cord on the Nak into a NEMA 5-15R to IEC C14 adapter, and then using an upgraded power cable, actually be a benefit? Since nobody is going to build a modern cassette deck with IEC ;) I remember thinking my clone Dynakit ST-70 would have benefited from IEC instead of the regular captive cord, how could they not upgrade to IEC (!), and then I actually saw this on a modern ST-70.

Post by Lon on 02/04/26 at 00:24:33 I've cut power cords and wired in an IEC receptacle bfore and used a fancier power cord and did notice an improvement. I've also used this successfully: https://www.musicdirect.com/equipment/power-conditioner/audioquest-iec-3-power-strip/
