Hallo Hans;

The powercords can be as long as you make them. Just shield the cords accordingly, from other cables and cords to avoid interference and if AV from ghosts and TI.

I have 20 M data, AV, amd ML cords running thoughout the house with never a problem experienced..

The whole 'power cable' thing is one of the biggest hifi myths around. My thinking is just go with a good quality, but basic cable with good terminations. It'll last a lot longer, a little quality goes a long way.

As long as you by cable that is up to the job, it will be fine. By that I mean decent plugs and the right rating. I am afraid I do not believe in audiophile power cables any more than I do the tooth fairy.

Powercords

Hi, I am building a sort of hidden box in the wall that will connect all my devices to my BV 7-40 and 7-32. The original powercords will be too short and I was wondering if it will affect the picture quality, or affect something else, if I get longer cords ? I think ( but I can be wrong ) that I read something about this in a manual to my BS 2500 for many years ago, that B&O recommended to use the original cord.

If I get longer cords, is there anything special that I should look for when I buy them like isolation, thickness and so on ?

Best regards

Hans
