Yep, look like stock power cords to me, too. Plugged straight into the wall -- hope they're at least dedicated lines.

I can confirm the speaker cables are older top of the line Transparent and i don't remember ever seeing any aftermarket power cables in that room. Can't speak to the dedicated circuit issue, but as you can see it's a large purpose built room with high ceilings and significant sound treatments.

Bob,

Thanks for the confirmation on the cables and power cords. I was half-joking about the dedicated lines in the listening room but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they had them in there. As you point out, they put some effort into the room.

Indeed. A few years ago they were considering a move and in preparation sold the Alexandrias that were previously in that room. Lew brought in his Sophias from home. I've been raving about my Sashas and since we are only an hour or so from the factory so later this spring we've scheduled s dinner here in Annapolis with Lew and his wife along with an opportunity for him to hear them with his amplifiers. Lew and Bill are good business people and very smart about not wasting money. Like their equipment, they don't spend frivolously. "It just sounds better" because they put the money where it makes a quality, not marketing difference.

I guess they would not want to design their products using a highly tweaked system given the almost infinite possible combinations of add ons we use to improve or listening experience. I remember see a picture of their listen room years ago when the were producing Synthesis speakers and the had a pair of those in that room.
