The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
This is a journey through real life experiences from you to everyone that cares to educate themselves. I must admit that I was not a believer in power cords and how they affect sound in your system. I from the camp that believed that the speaker provided 75% of the sound signature then your source then components but never the power cord. Until that magic day I along with another highly acclaimed AudioGoner who I will keep anatomist ran through a few cables in quite a few different systems and was "WOWED" at what I heard. That being said cable I know that I am not the only believer and that is why there are so many power cord/cable companies out there that range from $50 to 20-30 thousand dollars and above. So I like most of you have to scratch my head and ask where do I begin what brand and product and what should i really pay for it?

He’s a nice guy, though. 🤗 I am not completely objectively sane, and I agree with Geoffkait also that I am not a "towering technical genius" and not even " a technical genius" and alas " not a genius"... Only a creative normal guy who love books... But if I can made a remark, in society, and this thread is a society, courteousness is social sanity, in an asylum, if all the fools were polite, the doctors would be in pain to make a bad diagnostic...I can say that humor and comedy is akin to courteousness...Not sufficient tough but a very promising societal trait... Thanks Geoffkait for saying that I am a nice guy, that will make my day... |
If being "on high" is making posts that hopefully teach the vast number of people that read forums, but don’t post, that the path to audio nirvana is not standing on your tiptoes, with your head exactly in line with mid-point of the tweeter and midrange, while holding your breath, but only on Tuesdays, and only after you have paid $60/minute for telephone audiophilia, and certainly not before you have consulted with the guy on the corner, the one with the trench-coat, who you must allow to ply you with his wares, and don’t worry, his "trust-me" is worth more than any PhD, and absolutely not before personally going on expedition in preferably an Amazonian rainforest for raw materials to build at least 8 bisymetrical structures, ..... but ..... just like always, it predominantly comes down to good speakers that you like, learning how to and actually treating your room, buying an amplifier that your speakers and you are happy with, and then accessorizing with and appropriate quality source and pre-amp, and if your source is vinyl, prepare to allocate more into that. Anything on top of that is gravy. It doesn’t matter what wheels and tires, or spark-plug wires, or ECU upgrade you do, that 1979 Chevette it still a Chevette. |
