... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...
>Measurements do not tell the whole story. Play A note with a cheap >violin the meter will show 440Hz. Play the same note with a Stradivarius >the same meter will also show 440Hz. >Verdict? Trust you ears. The dominant frequency of both will be 440hz but the spectrum of frequencies will be totally different and absolutely measureable. |
If a power filter is required (and it does!) buy a power filter.Any addition of an active electronic component, never mind how small, will add to the noise level... :) At least a cord add not a noise of his own being passive....Engineering is the art of trade-off...There is always a cost to pay if someone add an electronic component to the gear or to the system....What i say is about active filter, but passive filter is perhaps a good idea... I prefer my minerals and stones.... :) Yes, i use passive minerals to filter my grid.... With success at peanuts costs... I will not argue further because adult brain are opinionated and my goal was reach, hi-fi at low cost, and with only non orthodox homemade methods... I succeed... :) If i had confidence only in measurements the cost to improve would have been way higher.... Happily i trust only my ears and play with the 3 dimensional embeddings of my audio system with my ears experiments guidance only... :) « Dont ask if it is possible, create it» - Groucho Marx « It dont take genius, it takes only time» -Harpo Marx |
Interesting about the Stradivarius. Read about a test they did with master violinists who picked the new violins as the best sounding over the Stradivarius when they didn’t know which one was playing.
