I came to discover quite a few things, like how to make 100% inaudible/lossless IC`s, speakercables, spdif coax & powercord
If its inaudible, wouldn't that be a 100% loss?
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?

@douglas_schroeder , "But, the audiophile public once in a while needs to see that there are good people trying to serve them (And, of course, serving themselves by involvement with the gear; that's obvious) and are not duplicitous. :)" Agreed. There are many good people who are genuinely trying to help the audiophile public. The trouble is that there also seems to be no shortage of those who aren't. Anyway, thanks for your considered reply and no hard feelings - best of luck with your writing. It's been a few years since I last checked out dagogo.com but I do still remember enjoying reading Jack Roberts' Beatnik Column. |

I have a Bryston Int. Amp that doesn't seem to care what PC I use to feed it with. Other Bryston Amp owners have voiced the same experience. Robustness in power supply design is an important factor. ------------------- Some but not too much thruth in this. The problem here as with other hifi-cables is that they mostly are junk. Mybe a bit better than a standard cable but not much. If you want to wake up your Bryston, give it a minimum 12awg solid core pc |
