@geof3 the lights dim slightly on low frequency transits when I have my system turned up pretty high, otherwise it's not noticeable. Thank you for the recommendation about upgrading plugs. I think that may be an issue. The plugs are probably 40+ years old.
Power Cables and Wall Sockets
Without knowing for certain, it seems to me that power cables can only be as good as the in-home wiring coming to the wall socket. Is it possible that those who use expensive cables have improved the wiring to the socket? Or is the power from most wall sockets normally excellent, but is limited by conventional power cables?

@ditusa I have a Van Alstine Transcendence 10 (tube) preamp, into the Van Astine SET120 control amp, also Rythmik Audio Sub. I’ve been looking at electrical outlet options, and am leaning toward the Maestro at this point, but still researching. |
@imaninatural regarding the outlets, look at light switches too. What I’ve done is started to do all the outlets in my house with commercial grade outlets and switches. The circuit that has my system was completed first. Now I’m in the process of doing the rest as time and motivation goes. I did use PS Audio Power Ports for my system, I believe it was worth it. For my other larger appliances (refridge etc) I used hospital grade outlets. If your outlets and switches are 40yrs old, they definitely need to be updated, it could literally make all the difference. BTW power cables DO make a difference, just like anything. The concept is to get the most current you can find and have it be as clean as possible one way or the other. |
