Older Power Cables


In my current system, I have three older moderately expensive power cables: 2 from PS Audio purchased about 24 years ago for $600 used and one MIT Zip Cord II purchased new. I was just wondering what will differences will I likely  be able to "hear" by replacing them with some of the newer power cords that is currently being market.

You're going to have to try some new cables to find out.

I like SR's stuff, but have had good results with the higher-end GR power cables, too. (The GR cable took FOREVER to break in, so bear that in mind...).

 

@joscow - As mentioned above there have been significant improvements

  1. metalurgy - e.g. UP-OCC copper - that improve details and dynamics
  2. Insulations - low dielectric constant insulations that improve clarity
  3. Cable Geometry - lowers noise floor and improves clarity and image

Take a look at Audio Envy or Zavfino - both reat cables

@classicrockfan - I was agnostic about power cables before I actually did some experimentation. My point of view was “I don’t know enough about the science to have a strong pov on whether different power cables would make a difference.” 
 

Now that I’ve experimented with a few quality cables, I believe they make a difference. That said, your system has to be resolving enough to hear what higher quality cables can make… 

I think the cables that have made the most difference would be Kimber Kable Palladian PK10 and Cardas Clear Beyond XL. I bought them used… could not afford them new!
