Fuse and Power Cable improvements 'how'? - Nuprime ID-8

Hi Everyone,

    Thank you ahead.  I recently bought a pair of Kudos C2 speakers through Audiogon and upgraded my amp to Nuprime ID-8.   Even with 100watt RMS I'm not able to power the C2 to satisfaction.  It'll be a long while before I can save up for the high quality 200+watt range amps.  I've been reading that others install better power cable and fuses into their amps and get sonic improvements.   I'm wonder how does that work and how much improvement would that really bring (considering that's $300+ extra parts for a $999 amp)?  Hoping to get educated on the subject.  Thanks.

Lincoln

Power cables and fuses will do nothing to remedy an amp that is not powerful enough for your speakers. Either look for a very good deal on a new transistor amp, or buy a different more powerful class D. You should be able to do that within your price range, especially used.

If you bought the Nuprime new, I've read it takes a while to sound it's best...though if it truly is underpowered then tweaks won't help

A 200 watt amp will only give you 3 db more than a 100 watt amp. What is the sensitivity of those speakers?
It just might be that there is something wrong with the speakers. Or you just don’t like the speakers !
