Quick Question About Power Cables

Hi All,

I recently bought a Bryston BDP 3 streamer/renderer and love how refined and relaxed it sounds. I would like it more if the bass was a bit more controlled and had a little more impact. A friend and Audiogon member suggested I try an Audio Sensability Statement Power Cable. He bought one for his tube DAC and said the bass got tighter an offered better slam. Anyway, for those who are PC savy, what are your thoughts on the matter? Thanks!

Power cables have definitely nothing to do with sound.

"Definitely." Right. Ever tried a nice power cable on a nice amplifier? The difference can be startling.

If you can't hear a difference,  something's wrong somewhere.

Here we go again.

For what it is worth, imo power chords don't do much, if anything.

I disagree. Have you tried playing your stereo after pulling every single power cord out?

While it depends on the quality of your components, for highly resolving / high end audio components / systems power cords make a marked difference in system performace. As in you can hear a very important improvement with the right cords. An appropriate amp power cord will generally make the biggest difference, but they also make an important contribution to other components.
