If - by pure chance - the first power cord’s conductor was in the “correct direction” and the second power cord’s conductor was in the “wrong direction” that alone would explain the soundstage issue. Why do you think AudioQuest goes out its way to honor the directionality of the conductors in its high end power cords like Hurricane? 🤔 Hel-loo!
I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"...
My good friend that is in the business and very very knowledgeable calmed that a well made 10ga power cable reduced his soundstage... I'm not saying it will or won't but why would it? I would like to know the science behind this. I did research on here but not satisfied. I had a pair of Logans and they were wonderful and I used stock power cables and the stage was crazy... I have been making cables for years ( musician ) and know the value on quality... what is the magic?

Still there, captbeaver? "May be boring but no one has answered the McIntosh amp cord question...." You asked::
"My McIntosh amp has a permanently attachehed power cable that is a off the shelf product. Is their design faulty? Are they not giving you the full amp? Seems they would know about this magic 4 feet...lol" Really want an answer? How old is your amp? McIntosh’s current tuner even has an IEC connector, as do all their amps and pres. Was that update because of customer demand, or- have they learned something, perhaps?

+1 To OP a well made 10ga power cable reduced his soundstageThe power cord influences the frequency response in a sound system. Thicker the wire, lower the sound (more bass with less high freq). A 10 gauge power cord will lower the soundstage significantly to compare regular/stock power cords. *A 10 gauge wire sounds very different from a 10 gauge wire in collection of thin wires. So, there are ways to make a 10 gauge power cord with a great soundstage. alex wavetouch audio |
