Hearing is believing?........power cables.......


For anyone who is skeptical about the difference a high quality power cord can make in your high quality audio system........try it.......hearing is believing. About 10 years ago when I bought my first "entry level" hifi system (B&K amp/preamp, Canton speakers) my audio advisor dropped off a Tara Labs Prism power cord. He said just try it for a week and if you don't think it makes a difference just return it. I, like most unfamiliar with high quality cables, was skeptical.......how could a cable 1 meter long from the wall to my equipment make a difference? I put it on the power amp and yes I could definitely tell there was a more defined bass and overall clearer soundscape. I'm a musicians, so I figured maybe the "non audiophile" can't hear the difference. So my brother-in-law who is a bricklayer came over and we did a blind listening test. I randomly switched the Tara, sometimes trying to fool him......told him I switched but didn't........he could tell every time I used the Tara! So I was convinced that it was "wishful thinking on my part or particularly sensitive ears. If you don't think a great power cable can make a difference........take the challenge. Try one for a week and see (hear) for yourself!

It sure can make a difference. Such a pity that many audio electronics are so badly built that you need a band aid like this - but some cost only $100 and are a cheaper solution than upgrading the audio.

Yeah, it’s a real shame. All those badly built high end electronics like Lamm, DartZeel, Pass, Oppo, Meitner, Krell, Bricasti, Ayre, Classe, Parasound. It must be the same reason aftermarket fuses work so well - because high end audio electronics are made so badly and their power supplies are so lame.

LOL JMac!  One of the great tag lines of all time.  But it definitely less filling in IMHO.
