Front Row Seat Power Cord?

@laginz

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.

@audphile1 Not under $1k but many at $2k, including 1 of my monoblock FrontRow cables. Though I may pull it since I am considering the Schitt Tyr monos.

Not having any exposure to SOTA ic/speaker/power cables renders my comments on such as basically a bronx cheer, but to spend 5.5K$ would make self desire to be purchasing 2m + connects from a company that makes them for NASA or research facilities like CERN....

They have to prove they hit their specs every single zeptosecond accurately in a lab....

...and Space Rating stuff is Harder yet.

Spend what you feel you must.🤷‍♂️

Personally, waiting for the quantum computer cluster of the week to answer "42" and shut themselves off permanently.... Or, "Everything You Know Is Wrong."., followed by HAL's death scenes, including "Daisy" before heading to the right side of the decimal for pi.

...and that's just 'the fundamentals'....

"That's Not All, Folks!"  *Merrie Melodies theme fanfare w/W.Woodpecker* 

...not at all...

Keep banging those rocks together. ;)

Good timing.....42x42=3528. Add 1 to each numeral (1111) = my above post #'er...

No, not on purpose, but....😏...can wait for the next....*G*
