I compared a small handful of upgraded cables in the $300-$350 range. Compared them to the stock cables that came with my equipment, I got varied results from no improvement, to a small improvement, to slightly worse sound. The differences I heard with these cables in my system was mostly in the upper bass range. Obviously the cables with the heavier upper bass made some of the lower mids sound ever so slightly veiled. I found one cable of the bunch to give me a very clean sounding upper bass which in turn gave a tiny improvement in the mids. Granted all these differences were extremely small, but I felt if I could hear a difference so it wouldn't hurt to use them, right? It took a week of going back and forth with these cables and was quite the tedious process. I would like to think I made an informed decision, and it would be money well spent. The cable I chose at the time was $325 new for a 6 ft. length. I found several more of these cables used on Audiogon in a range of $120 to $150 each, so I bought them to wire my entire system. I do like the result, but I don't think I would buy mega buck power cords. IMO.
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
5% in relation to a stock power cord.
I can’t really trust dealer comments. I am more interested in reports from audiophiles.
Whats your story? Did you manage to increase speed and resolution of your amp ? (without losses in the bass area)
