Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?


Isn't it kind of unnecessary to additionally add a power conditioner if I have an expensive audio file grade Power cord connected to a component?

So you buy a Power conditioner from a hi-fi store and they say oh, you need a really good power cord to go with that and then another one to go from conditioner to the component. Do you need it all and why? Seems the last couple of feet before the component should be more than enough.

It’s been fun and interesting reading all these responses this morning. I didn’t mean to hijack this thread from the author. I have a question for those of you out there that believe that the majority of these products make a difference. Let’s use transparent cable as an example. Their interconnects range in price from a few hundred dollars to $37,000 for a pair. What makes them worth $37,000 a pair? Just to give a reference of what $37,000 will buy, here is a list of the top 10 cars that $37,000 will get you. 

 

10 Best Luxury Cars Under $35,000

  • 2022 Buick Encore GX.. 
  • 2022 Cadillac CT4. ... 
  • 2022 Acura ILX. ... 
  • 2022 Mini Countryman. ... 
  • 2022 Buick Envision. ... 
  • 2022 BMW X2. ... 
  • 2022 Lexus UX. ... 
  • 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

 

I know I know this is America you can charge whatever you want blah blah blah. Don’t you think that this kind of makes people wonder what kind of voodoo is making two pieces of wire worth $37,000. Do you think it helps or hurts the argument that something weird is going on?

Having a nice setup and Tektons WITHOUT fancy cables,conditioner and fuses doesn’t sit well on an audio forum.

The OP’S questions will never be answered from either side.

Fascinating how no one discusses how proper shielding will protect from all the Radio frequency related noises, within all the comments herein, that are generated after the electrons depart from the wall. It’s all very simple why does everyone overthink this problem?

Further no one seems to discuss measuring the interference that occurs before and after Power conditioning. To me this would be a huge selling point yeah no one talks about it. And what about restricted versus unrestricted electron flow that many conditioners do or don’t do. Thereby explaining why amps should go direct to wall unless power management device is unrestricted.

The fundamental mistake they make is to disconnect foreground and background.

You explain it more economically than me i will stay mute ....

The main phenomenon in acoustic and audio engineering are understood in non linear relations...

And " interpretation " or perception  is itself a non linear event ...

Thanks....
