Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS?


My thought is no. But I may end up with an extra good quality PC so curious where it may be put to good use, if at all.

I have a 5v LHY LPS for my streamer and a Goldnote PSU-10 for my PS-10.

@macg19 - thanks, hope you can make use of the info

If  you have some spare time - take a look at

https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/duelund-conversion-to-diy-helix-geometry-cabling

  • to see what others have contributed to the Helix Cable design - it's a bit long. but some good info also

The photography - thankfully, I'm not as passionate about the phtography as I am cables - that might get me thrown out of the house 😉

Why are mens hobbies so damn expensive - needle point next🤣

@williewonka Ha!

About the LHY LPS: Yes, SQ improvement was not subtle. The upgrade requires replacing the internal powerboard as well as adding an outboard LPS so there is no need for adapters. 

I replaced the cheap PC to the LPS with a good quality PC I had on hand and that helped too which surprised me.

PS: FWIW All in My Digital source cost about $3700 including NOS Mullard’s, isolation base, vibration control, cables and LPS.

It sounds pretty good and very satisfying when compared to my much more expensive analogue source.

 

anything that needs to be plugged into the main supply will benefit from a good power cable

Unless you don’t believe in power cords or DACs or amps or streamers or speakers …. Whatever. In which case nothing matters

 

 

Yes, not only the AC but also the DC cord can give a marked improvement in sound quality. Vibration control on power supplies also yeilds nice results.
