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.

A Class A PASS XS300 monoblock will dump 48A on demand.  You need two of these.  See where this is going?

This seems really unlikely!! Giving the amp the benefit of the doubt, and assuming it can double power into 2 Ohms, it would be making 1200 watts. If it can do that the current would be about 24 Amps. To do 48 Amps, the amp can would drive 1 Ohm with 2400 Watts (that would be 48 Amps of current) and I just don't think so. The math is against it.

Whomever you got your information from was misinformed, IMO.

You missed my point. I am a proponent of large gauge dedicated wiring runs from ythe service entrance to the system... NOT thin gauge romex.

Power cables do not store energy, at least the good ones don’t.

I built my first amp when I was 13 - 61 years ago. I have built over 30 amplifiers in my lifetime including an F6 for a friend of mine. I grok amplifiers.

I've read that link several times in the past.  BTW, I like your amps!

The quote came from Nelson Pass.

@piaudiol  So we would agree there is no point to have a heavier cable between the wall plug and the amp than what is behind the wall plug running to the circuit breaker?

I concur!
