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?

There is a hazard in drawing conclusions from composition of a component. Ultimately it is the overall design and components, and how they work together. The AudioQuest Hurricane is the best power cord I have heard. As Millercarbon points out…. It takes an lot of effort and experimentation to determine ideal configurations.

There are a couple ways at looking at the sound of PC, interconnects and cables. In general, and in a specific system. I have extensively used a dozen brands. You can bucket them into increasing quality… quieter, more dynamic… etc. So you go form ok to great… then there is how they do in your system. One might slightly tip the tonal balance and another not. So, to me the AudioQuest Hurricane is a very high performance power cord and it is also very suitable in my system.

hey guys,

here's something interesting I just found out straight out of the mouth from audioquest, they don't even use OCC single crystal wire they're using crappy OFHC wire and ripping people off for $28,000 for speaker wire what a joke these wire companies are everyone knows that OCC single crystal is far superior to anything ofc on the market and rectangular OCC is even better than round OCC, companies like audioquest transparent MIT are all just ripoff artist selling cheap crappy ofc wire for exorbitant amounts. wake up people, if you don't know by now that OCC is far superior to ofc you're a lost cause.
