Seasoning your sound with powercords


Do you season your components with opposing sounding powercords?

For instance, if your dac is neutral would you put a warmer sounding powercord on it?  And if you have a warmer sounding amp would you put a leaner sounding powercord on that?

I have a 10 gauge gold series cullen cable and a 12 gauge crossover series powercord.  I would think that it would be better to use the 10 gauge gold cable on my integrated and the 12 gauge crossover series on my gungir dac, but I believe that Patrick recommended doing the opposite.

I feel like I have lost some top end on my new Carreras compared to the ones I did a review on but I made like 3 other changes at the same time.  I replaced the crossover series on my integrated with a brand new gold series, added a gungir dac instead of the bluesound dac, put the crossover series on the dac, and I believe that all the drivers and crossover components on my carreras are brand new.  I’ve let me system “run in” for maybe around 12 hours now.  I also had to twist and bend the gold series powercord quite a bit right out of the box to get it positioned the way I want it.

With all this in mind, I feel like the top end on the Carreras is less pronounced than when I was reviewing a different pair 2 months ago, on the bluesound dac...

Any thoughts?

Cut us some slack, robberjobberman. You can‘t debunk something that’s not bunk.

@millercarbon, now that is hilarious!
Millercarbon, I'm speechless again.
I've been watching for a while to get the flavor of it.  I never talk about my system nor do I photograph it.  What I say has to stand on it's own irregardless of my own set up.  

@b_limo  everybody uses their cables as "seasoning".Otherwise why make a change at all if you aren't expecting a different or better sound.
Most of us have made too many changes too close together and can't figure out which one is the culprit.My theory is one of new items begins to break in and subtly change the sound.It sneaks up on you.If you still have the old cord and dac you could switch out one thing at time and see if you can figure it out.Or hang tough and allow for longer break in.I hope you'll post updates:-)
