The sound of an electronic component starts with the voltage and current from the power supply. NOT from the wire to the AC outlet! To believe otherwise is to think.that using a custom hose to fill your car's gas tank will improve its mileage and 0-to-60 time! And increase its trunk capacity!
Any thoughts on using the supplied power cord for a PS Audio PWT vs. seeking an upgrade
Today, FedEx delivered the 11 year old PS Audio PWT I bought from TMR (PS Audio informs me they have not seen this unit since it left the factory in May 2010, but I’m not sure how to interpret that news. It could be good news? But I cannot rule out the possibility that the previous owner(s) may have taken/sent it somewhere elsewhere for servicing? Yikes!!! I pray not.) I am in the process of acquiring a NAD M33 (in 6 weeks or so) and a pair of Magneplanar 1.7is (in 11 weeks or so.) I haven’t settled on the interconnect between the PWT and the M33 (although I’m pondering the AudioQuest coax Coffee), nor have I settled on any speaker cables (although I’m pondering the Analysis Plus Black Mesh Oval 9 w banana plugs at both ends.) I am now wanting to ensure the power cord supplied with the PWT is not the weak link in all of this. I am open to spending for an upgraded power cord for the PWT IF it will make a difference. Regardless of that answer, I understand that I should expect to seek out an upgraded power cord for the M33 (rather than the one supplied with it) due to the nature of the demands it will likely place on my house current. All suggestions are welcome!

Power conditioners are useful for audio gear. (and many other electronics) High frequency switching noises and radio frequencies in outlets are common. This is due to shared power and many electronics plugged in. https://www.visions.ca/product-detail/53063/austere_vii_series_8_outlet_with_omniport_usb_and_45w_us... This solves the problem. They also have cheaper ones with less oulets. Monster power platinum is fine if you're looking to save money. 600K guarantee if your gear is damaged... |
