... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...

Hello to all...

I was shifting around components in my system, trying to squeeze out better controlled bass, more definition within the soundstage, and better define the "voice/midrange" presentation...

I presently have a tube preamp (hardwired with a wall wart) into an HT Receiver; source is a Marantz SA-8001 CD Player

Swapped out a Yamaha HTR -5550 (hardwired) for a Parasound HCA-750A (which needs a power cord).

CD Player is powered with a PS Audio Statement SC power cord, so I went in my closet and pulled out another PS AUDIO Statement SC power cord, hooked it up and expect to give it at least 5 days continuous re-break-in before serious listening.

Took a minute to lookup reviews about this power cord - and I read some rather confusing reviews: some luved 'um, some liked 'um, but some thought them " ...slow... " (?), and giving a veiled presentation...

I'm gonna listen and decide myself - but I'm abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound - I know that interconnects and speaker cables would/could/Do affect sound presentation - but how could a power cord?

Explanation/thoughts please...

Where else would you look for consciousness but the brain? Certainly not the liver.

We already know the brainstem is likely responsible for arousal, awareness the other prerequisite for consciousness we're not so sure of, but if arousal is in the brain then that's where we look for awareness.

You completely miss my point.... I am afraid that i cannot go on with this subject here.... Too long to explain....

But in a word the consciousness is linked to the brain like a radio is linked to the music or a TV to the meteo summary but neither are in the radio or in the Tv... The Brain is an antenna sort of....Conciouness is like the voice that seems to be in the radio and seems to be  in the Tv but are not there at all...

The brain is a fractal antenna.... In 3 words my metaphor resume my point.....

You believe consciousness is outside the body, dualism.

Read books by Bernardo Kastrup it is not too heavy and are very good...

My master thinker is Goethe and countless others ....


No i am not a dualist at all.... :)

Matter does not exist since 1925 (quantum mechanics) except for some engineer... :)

If you like physics read David Bohm a friend of Einstein and a Dirac Disciple...

For the brain the more simple to read is holographic idea by Pribram a friend of Bohm... For Pribram a very influential neurologist the brain is an active fractal antenna and the universe is a kind of hologram....

The matrix idea in cinema are only materialistic gross interpretation of that by some A. I. transhumanist engineers....
