One Cord To Rule Them All

Jetter, I felt the same way, but PS Audio even says a better power cable will sound better?? So my quest for a better cable has started. I also just discovered that Audio Envy has a Mega 3 Power Cable that uses more conductor material for higher current applications. A 5 foot cord is $306, so still within my budget (if I can ignore the $6). Has anyone got an opinion on this Mega cord?

What does it matter? That is the 64 thousand dollar question.

Let me ask you this, what does it matter which diode is used? The diode comes before the power supply filter caps. All the power used comes from the caps. So what does it matter what diodes are used?

It matters, a lot! But why? Because nothing ever is perfect. Obviously. So no matter how good a conditioner, regenerator, or power supply, until and unless it is perfect then it will always matter what is done upstream.

I have used things all the way out at my utility meter, and heard just as much improvement as when used in the panel, where the improvement is just as much as when used directly under a component. There are a few places that matter more, but a girl has to keep some mystery about her or the guys lose interest.

+1 on VH Audio but I also agree there seems little point putting a better power cable on a regenrator. What comes in is not what goes out regardless of the cable used.

"Watts are Voltage x Current and about 600 watts are passing through the power cord while my system is running."

Huh? The only thing passing thru the power cable is current. Wattage or voltage  do not "flow." That's something pounded in your head in electronics 101.
