Why not?

@soix

There are doer’s and bystander’s…this thread yet again shown us the clear distinction between the two types :-)

 

With the power cord all we have some testimony that someone believes it works. So we know that “they think it works”… in their place… with their gear. But that does not tell us if it work on our gear, with our place in the power grid.

@holmz Hence you yourself have just presented the perfect rationale for trying a PC in your own system, but you refuse to do that for some reason. Whatever. To each his own. Peace out

I probably have better things to spend money on, then fixing a problem that I am not sure I have.

And if it is mostly psychological, or if I think that it is psychological, then it is already doubtful to work - or doubtful that I would admit that it works.

Thirdly - as has been mentioned a few times, even the manufacture says that in my system, the battery option is better than a power cord.

So why would I half-ass it? By doing a cable… when that is deemed as substandard to the battery?

Line up all the cables, do blind testing and publish the results.  If there really is an improvement in sound, it should be apparent to all, or at least most.  I suspect very few cable manufacturers will allow their feet to be held to the fire

Yeah @bigtwin - that is just more work than people want to do. They only want us to believe what they believe, and not show that is repeatable.

I the manufacturer isn't an expert in ALL aspects of their equipment, they won't be seeing one red cent of my hard-earned saving.

A few additions/things to consider:

1) Puritan power conditioners come with an excellent power cord (maybe because they use a different plug in their device) and allow you to upgrade it when you order  it

2) Rega's tonearm cable runs straight through form the wires that connect to your cartridge into an RCA cable/connectors. No tonearm cables, removable headshells with plugs or other points of sound deterioration in the signal path. They also have an adapter plug into their PSU that is hard wired into a wall wart. No cable cost whatsoever!

3) Sutherland phono stages provide NO power cord.. He feels that anyone choosy enough to buy one of his phono stages has opinions about their favorite cord. BTW - he doesn't recommend going crazy with them. If I recall he was talking a couple hundred bucks.

yes, Pass Labs, who everyone seems to like to mention, used to recommend that your cables should not cost more than your components...
