What difference do power cables make?

"The two posters above are imaging things. Confirmation bias at work here! As I've said many times before a component's sound starts with its power supply - not with the wire to the wall outlet. It would be a wonderful world if changing a power cord resulted in a sonic improvement. Alas"

Alas, we have jasonbourne once again with his usual stance - nothing works , everything is imagined.

@maxwave IMO your power conditioner is dictating the SQ NOT the UberBus power cord(PS Audio AC 12) Are all 8 pc’s XLO Signature 3’s? To Answer your question a better power cord will improve your SQ even if plugged in the UberBus. Since I don’t know the level of your system I can’t make an educated guess if the Cardas would be best on the amp/conditioner or source. With my system... 1.power amp 2.source 3.preamp then conditioner

Reminds me of my college buddy who was on the 6 year graduation track for his BA. Never got the degree. Not sure if he learned anything - but he had a great time.

@dayglow

PS Audio Perfectwave AC12 is from PS Audio manufecturer , not PI Audio

( two different manufacturers)

Thanks for your anwser : a higherend power cord , from the conditionner to my

integrated amp. would not be limited by the lowerend power cord from the wall outlet to the power conditionner. If I understand you well.

My integrated amp, will be Vinnie Rossi Brama integrated . I am still waiting fot it.

I was wondering if , according to my cables setup , It would be worthwhile to improve this dedicated power cord

@maxwave Congrats on the Vinnie Rossi Brama! Italian made amps always seem to have a magical spell on vocals. As you know the better your components get the more sensitive they are to everything- cables isolation and even power conditioners. My Esoteric A 03 hates my Running Springs Audio Elgar with a passion where my Valve Audio Predator SQ would improve if the power was suspect.
