Front Row Seat Power Cord?

Hello Laginz,

Have you considered making your own power cord(s)?  DIY gives you control over cost, length, AWG gauge, type of copper,shielding, sheathing, etc.  I've been assembling my own cables for several years.  There are a number of sources for the required components (raw cable, terminal ends (both IEC and power plug), sheathing in the type/colors of your choice.  My primary source for power cable supplies is

You can DIY high end audiophile cables at 50/70% less than the equivalent of the off shelf power cord. No special tools needed, Just tape measure, good wire strippers,Phillips screwdriver, sharp razor cutter, heat shrink tubing in the colors of your choice.  Once you DIY your first cable you'll never go back to paying the high prices for the off the shelf audiophile cables.  And you'll have the satisfaction of making your own.

Enjoy the music!

Just read the review of 27 best power cables. Laughable the $500 Morrow cable reviews pretty much the same as the $5000 cables.

That’s right. No cable company knows how to make a proper power cable. The same brand and model cables made in same day and by a same person sound different each other. I know it because i know why that happen. And I know what they don’t know.

Also, audio companies and people don’t know they can’t meaningfully improve the sound until recordings are better. All recordings are noisy and un-natural sound because all microphones are bad.

You can hear dirty un-natural mic sound at left speaker in below. All recordings in the world sound like a left speaker. https://youtu.be/IHf_FSa8amE?si=l4B1PUMuQKNKyxpA

You can hear a natural sound recording & mic in below. https://youtu.be/2ru4D-mOMdo?si=WMjbxUESQzsDDuIQ

You are listening these videos with un-natural sound gears. Your audio system, your power cables, and computer speakers are un-natural dirty sound. Only Wavetouch audio power cables are natural sound and future proof.

You want to ’create a perspective that is more “front row” than “mid-hall”’.

I would like to introduce you to a British electrical engineer, Mr Peter Walker, but he died in 2003. The company he founded, Quad Electroacoustics, produced valve and solid-state amplifiers in prodigious numbers, and he was the first to commercialise full-range electrostatic loudspeakers which are still very popular today.

His ideal amplifier was "a straight wire with gain". In recognition of the imperfections of recordings, his pre-amplifiers came with several subtle controls to allow music-lovers to optimise settings for record playback. His demonstrations often used A-B comparisons, where recorded music could be compared to live music - the actual source being hidden behind screens.

Now to the point. He deliberately described what we call the volume knob as the focus control. He encouraged listeners to adjust this control until everything came into focus, rather like a camera lens.

I am wondering if you already have a control that can change your perspective?

 I agree that  the simple “volume” knob is part of the equation in creating a front perspective, but not the only part.
