Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?

Playing with a new Signal Cable Magic Digital HC POWER CORD!!  Using it on my Yamaha SCD 2100 ...immediately a far clearer window on the soundstage.  Hopefully all the other aspects of what I have enjoyed remain and or improve.

Hi Dsper,
The Coda would likely have been improved by using soft recovery rectifiers. IMO there should only be 3 choices. Clear, articulate gear, less so, and dark. The only matching ought to be how much of each one wants. Unfortunately, things like price point are such get in the way of all that. Once John Curl was talking up a new amplifier that he had designed with some tuning assistance, but the point is that once Parasound began selling them people bought them and were telling John, and everyone how bad they sounded. After a few folks complained and it became obvious that something was wrong, John bought an amplifier from a local dealers, opened it up and found that the manufacturer that Parasound contracted with had substituted some expensive components which had been specified. By saving a few dollars an amp they ruined the amplifier but made a lot more money on the ones they made. I don't know how Parasound handled it, but John told people what they needed to replace, and with what they should use. John used to post a lot on Audiogon, which is why I bring him up a lot, I am not on there so much these days so I don't know if Mr. Curl is still posting there, but he was a wealth of information.

Gotta say, the new SC digital HC power cord is settling in nicely.  Openness is amazing with a huge soundstage.  Sax work on Analogue Productions  Chet Baker CD is outstandingly full, articulate and alive sounding!  Dynamics are already sounding as good or better than before, which were already wonderful.  Wow $79 can sometimes offer quite a bang.

Well, after going through my available power cables and playing around with different combinations I have Re-discovered what I already knew...but lost site of!  Systems make music, not any individual technology or design.  My Krell, Yamaha, Totem system with MIT speaker cables/IC’s and Transparent/Pangea/Signal Cable power cords/outlet sounds full, warm and dynamic with liquid highs and absolutely spot on tone!  Zero glare or strain at any level.  Not my most costly system but I’ve been enjoying my music more now than ever before without having to play only audiophile recordings.  Everything shines now!  Perfect?  No.  Extremely involving?  Oh yeah!!
