@ millercarbon Maybe that is why installing The Gate from PPT either enhances the electrical flow to all the wires in the panel or restricts the cross field electrical contamination between wires (or both). Everyone who has installed it claims superior sound, enhanced video and reduced frig/freezer temps. After 20+ years as a beta cable tester for a company, we've come to the conclusion that the power cable is the most critical of cables with speaker wire and interconnects after that.
Which of these power cords ?
I'm looking to upgrade my sound with upgraded power cords. Given I've got a tube preamp, 2 mono block tube amps, Aurender DAC and 2 Martin Logan speakers - we're talking up to 7 power cords so I'd like to keep the total cost for all of them to $1000ish.
And some suggest going with one brand, to get the biggest benefit.
Brands on short list include:

rcfun33 and Chinook9: Electricity runs in a circuit through each transformer. So the current produced by a power plant never gets out of their yard! It just circulates through the stators and the primary of the first step up transformer. The magnetic field produced moves electrons in the secondary part of the transformer. Out it goes to the next primary. Miles away, at your house, it (electricity) circulates through the secondary winding in the pole transformer( or on ground transformer), through each of your audio components and appliances. So there's not a big cord miles long from the power plant to your house. Even if there was, the power cord would still make a difference in sound ! So please don't claim "physics". FYI: There is also specialty in wall cable for A/V systems and breaker panels. These are far more involving than just trying a cord. |
fleschler975 posts01-12-2020 8:11pmMaybe DH Labs cables at the low end of their price range are worth the money. However, at $5,000 to $10,000 range for their top range I prefer GroverHuffman Cables at 1/10 DH Labs cost. DH Lab's most expensive power cord is $850. Not sure what you're looking at. |
