Nordost Cable Listed in Order of Importance

Nordost's list is taken from Linn, which from the very beginning said the source is the most important element, i;e turntable, arm, cartridge, phono amp etc.

I am surprised so many believe power cables are the most important.  I have said this before but the cable you can pay $25,000 for and more is just the last 6 feet of 10 miles or more of cabling that comes from the power station to your wall socket.  What about the other 9 miles and 5,274 feet?   Power conditioners are different because they interface actively with the power.

You are wrong in both counts. Nordost thinks power cables are the most important cables. The list they provided has nothing to do with components. Second, think of power cables as filters. It doesn’t matter what is before them, least of all how many miles of it, as long as they can clean it before transmitting it to the component. If you have a spurious signal coming through your electrical system, you can filter it with a 2 inch filter. Length has nothing to do with it.  At any rate, this post is not about whether cables make a difference or not. Thanks for your response anyway.

I am not wrong on the Linn count.

I cannot see how a passive conductor that passes current can act as a filter.  The current simply passes through it.  How does it filter and where does the filtered out element go?  If you want to 'clean' electrical current, you need an active component.

How can you not be wrong when these two lists have nothing to do with one another?

You don’t have to see. You just have to hear it. 

How's them worm's tasting, spenav?
