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!

Hey Schubert, which one is Richard Farnsworth and Wilford Brimley?
You or me?😀
I can never see myself as Robert Redford.
I can speak to value of power cords from my perspective. About 100K invested in speakers. Zero spent on power cords.

Can I afford a $6000 cable jewelry to go along with my Daytona Rolexes - sure I can very easily afford but that would be a total waste of money as I only care about the sound of a power cord whereas a time piece is art to me.

@shadorne , Hopefully, you can see the irony in your post.

It seems to say that excess waste is fine and dandy, as long as you approve of it.

To me, a Daytona Rolex is a total waste of money, as I only care about what time it is.
Now cable jewelry is art to me. ;^)

Why do so many folks care about how others spend their money.
Cars, boats, planes, watches, jewelry, audio gear, television, traveling, homes.

In the end, one spends money on what they want to spend money on.
No one is right, no one is wrong.
That is simple math that hopefully everyone can understand.

Not trying to be ironic, my point was 100k in speakers and zero on power cord. Power cord does nothing for the sound for me - it is just jewelry like a Rolex does nothing to keep better time than a quartz watch. I prefer real jewelry as an aesthetic statement rather than monster sized power cords - BOTH are superfluous from a pure technical performance perspective.

Again my view and with my silly Rolex I am just as vain as the next guy with those 6K fancy power cords. However I am not deluded to think my Rolex keeps even remotely better time than anything else....
