Power Cables and Wall Sockets


Without knowing for certain, it seems to me that power cables can only be as good as the in-home wiring coming to the wall socket. Is it possible that those who use expensive cables have improved the wiring to the socket? Or is the power from most wall sockets normally excellent, but is limited by conventional power cables?

For what it's worth, I use the Maestro outlets with a dedicated line. The sound is extraordinarily quiet and dynamic. The outlets could be a little grippier. Used cables make the most sense for me and I've never had a problem with any of them.

@jea48 agree.

I would certainly not like the lights doing a discotheque, but it does not always guarantee a fire hazard.

So it is good to know whether it is normal, but rarer, voltage sag... or a situation such as you’ve pointed out.

What is known is NO power cord will solve his dimming light VD problem...

Amen to ^that^.

I would be tempted to shove in 12ga and call it a day.
