Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?


Isn't it kind of unnecessary to additionally add a power conditioner if I have an expensive audio file grade Power cord connected to a component?

So you buy a Power conditioner from a hi-fi store and they say oh, you need a really good power cord to go with that and then another one to go from conditioner to the component. Do you need it all and why? Seems the last couple of feet before the component should be more than enough.

You do you.

 

I keep forgetting what it is to have a "discussion" here 🙄  Here we go round in circles...

Yes, but the resistor will work against you than for you. It will absorb power too- for example if a 4 Ohm resistor in series with a 4 Ohm speaker, the resistor will absorb about 1/2 the power! Its not practical, and the speaker will see a vastly reduced damping factor.

@bruce19 

And the 4+4 (system) will result in half the power at the same level that the sole speaker at 4 ohms would have gotten

So the speaker will get 1/4 of the power, and the resistor 1/4 of the power… and the 1/4+1/4 sums to halving the power.

It may be good to try for a listening test, and cranking in and extra 6 dB on the when comparing it. But we would have to see what you get.

Mr atmaspere,

Would love to see your system, or know what's in it.  Do you use power management in any way?

Thanks

I suspect (guessing here), that he does.
But…

I’m a power supply guy and it occurred at a show in a discussion with Nelson, who is also a power supply guy.  I, too have read about that number in reviews...
