Clean power and it's affect on sound quality


Been reading quite a bit about how clean power can affect sound quality by segregating the system from the dirty grid with power conditioners, high-end power cables, isolators, and even off-grid battery-powered systems.

I've noticed some changes in sound quality with regards to better power supply, especially with regards to the older house I was in vs. the newly built house I'm in now. The older home had a warmer tone due to 50 years of copper wiring being burned in. My new house is brighter because the copper wiring hasn't been burned in yet.

But one thing I also noticed is that when I recently changed the batteries in my remote controls from your typical Duracell batteries to the solar-rechargeable batteries I use now. The sound quality really improved. Dynamics were improved across the board, tonality was warmer...more golden, like a sunset vs. mid-day bright. The soundstage opened up as well with more airiness and clarity to the instrumentation regardless of my media source. I highly recommend using solar-rechargeable batteries for your remotes vs the standard OEC batteries that came with the remote. I think you'll notice a vast improvement in sound quality - being cleaner and warmer.

Just experiment!  You'll get there one day.  I'm too busy helping others with quantum physics until further notice...🤔

I'd like to add another under-appreciated tweak: half and half instead of milk in your coffee. Soundstage gets not only wider but deeper, and any hint of sibilance is completely eliminated.

 

hilde45: Why not add some LSD to that coffee also? The OP will be able to see the sound as well as hear it! No need for a pricey TV or premature depletion of those solar batteries...

@hilde45 half-n-half is definitely the way to go. I've noticed it makes the bass sound a bit heftier even when compared to whole milk. 

 

@ellajeanelle I might suggest psilocybin because it has a more natural sound and is a tad more mellow. LSD is the solid state version whereas the psilocybin is the tube version. Just don't do a hybrid LSD-psilocybin set-up. This will result in overloading the system and will permanently damage your speakers.
