P.S. Audio Quintet? Worthwhile?

Mine certainly helps; I was using a Balanced Power Technology power strip with a Oyaide GPX PC and the Quintet was a noticeable improvement. Exactly how is a longer cord an improvement? I use a one meter Python Helix from the wall to my Shunyata Hydra 2 for my CJ 350 and it works fine. After all PCs are PASSIVE components and one would suppose that the shorter they were the less they would impose their sonic signature on the current passing through them. Unless , of course, you like what is added. I have seen the same idea expressed about length of Digital Cable and haven't found a difference there either. But I use a considerably higher grade of PCs, most of mine cost as much as the Quintet. I formerly used 2 Quintets before getting the Hydra so I could use 20 amp cables[ the CJ used a 20 amp cord]. A friend now has the other one and he is also very happy with it. The PPP does offer another level of performance but at 3 or 4 times the cost. [ I know, I bought one].

You have grasp my position perfectly; nothing is exactly what I want from every component in my system. Just the music and nothing else; the best one is the one that adds or subtracts the least. As I have upgraded my system I find it harder and harder to describe its sonic signature; which is exactly what I am aiming at.

I have used the Quintet and thought it made a noticable improvement in the sound of my system. If you can find one, buy a used Quintessence....these usually run $450 to $500 on the used market and it is noticably better than the Quintet. Also, getting a Soloist in-wall is a good start. They usually run $140 or so used and work well too.

I currently run a combination of the Soloist Premier and the Power Plant Premier with very good results.

Happy Listening

Thanks for the responses. Elizabeth - interesting idea to replace power cords instead, I certainly don't want a lateral move. What differences might I expect to hear from power cord replacements and what order should cords be replaced if not doing them all at once?
Thanks.
