"Power Cords-More Recent"
Yet another ***** post from our Jason Bourne friend who cannot help but post in all cables forums although has zero interest in trying any cables. May I suggest finding another hobby? This is very unhealthy for you dude jasonbourne52There is no scientific/engineering proof that AC cords differ sonically. Ditto for power conditioners |
We could look at it scientifically. All the power cable needs to do is supply a constant voltage at a single frequency. The only possible benefit of using high end power cables is when shielding is employed to reduce EMI emanating close to equipment, which is absolutely worthwhile and indeed crucial. Interconnects are entirely different as all frequencies need to travel at the same speed at widely varying voltages with high speed voltage changes. As with power cables, adequate shielding is critical but it needs to be connected to a central earthing point rather than introduced to one side of the signal, especially when unbalanced (not doing so is relying on antiquated inadequate techniques). Get that right and you are on the way to a fantastic system. |
Yes there are newer that are better, even for the same money. I have some myself, both the older and the newer. I would not however recommend doing it that way. $400 will get you several QSA Light Blue fuses, or two Synergistic Purple fuses, either of which will be far better than any improvement you can possibly find from a lateral power cord upgrade like you are considering now. |
I probably have the same PS Audio power cords that OP has. They are in my system for 20 plus year until I changed to the top line of pc from Cullen. I was surprised how much improvement they made on my amps. I ended up add a more expensive pc to my power generator and again, the improvement was a big eye opener. |
